Trumbull Eagles Hockey

It was a busy week for the Eagles as they traveled to NH for the Heuchling Swift Holiday Tournament. There were many worthy performers but Jake Terlik takes home POW honors. While trailing Portsmouth in the third period, the winger drove the boards to get deep into the opposition end where he made a great pass to linemate, Austin Ashby for the game tying fifth goal. Securing the tie put the Eagles in the final against Oyster River where Terlik again came up big. The junior collected a loose puck in front of the net and showed great poise as he got the goalie to bite on a move then potted the game winner in the third period breaking the 2-2 tie.

The Trumbull Eagles improved to to 4-1-1 on the season after a successful trip to NH. The THS skaters currently sit near the top of the CIAC D2 standings.

Let’s keep it rolling!

The Trumbull Eagles had a successful trip to New Hampshire, winning the Heuchling Swift Holiday Tournament. The Eagles last won the tournament back in 2017.

The Eagles started off with a solid 3-1 win over Keene, NH (D1) followed by a wild 5-5 draw with the Portsmouth Clippers. The final was a well played game by both Trumbull and the tournament hosts, the Oyster River Bobcats. It was a physical game with plenty of skill on display. The game went into the third period locked at 2-2. Jr, Jake Terlik found himself alone in front with puck and undressed the Bobcat keeper for the game winner!

Sr, Adam Guttman was outstanding between the pipes making some huge stops in the final frame of the Keene game and again in the final keeping Oyster River off the board to close out the victory (33 saves). Jr, Giancarlo Montanaro had 2 goals and 3 assists in three games while Sr, Luca Minopoli had 3g and 3a and Sr, Peter Antoniou added 4g and 3a. Defensemen, Zach Jager and Matt Farasciano were solid all weekend with Jager leading the defensive crew with 4 assists. Jr. Jake Terlik scored the game winner in the final and assisted on linemate, Austin Ashby’s (Jr) game tying goal against Portsmouth.

It was a great weekend of hockey at the University of New Hampshire!

It was a light week for the Eagles with only one game going into the holiday. The newly named Guilford Grizzlies visited Trumbull and left with a 5-1 loss. Leading the way for Trumbull was junior, Giancarlo Montanaro with two goals and two assists in the winning effort. A shifty forward, centers the top line adding quickness and skill.

Junior, Giancarlo Montanaro had two goals and two assists to help the Eagles beat the Guilford Grizzlies 5-1. Seniors, Luca Minopoli and Peter Antoniou each added a goal and an assist in the effort while Adam Guttman made 37 saves. THS improved to 2-1-0 on the season.
