Last year the Friars won the regular season but ended up losing to Chaminade in the playoffs, so they were looking for some redemption. The Friars began this years season with a win over St.Johns 6-1 and Kellenberg 7-0. Today they were facing their archrival and most competitive team, the Flyers of Chaminade. After losing to them last year they were looking for a big win.
Our best singles player,"Johnny D."(soph.) and third singles, Chris Schwaab (Jun.)won handily in two sets. The Friars first (Sanders and Winberg)and third (Tozi and Rearden) doubles team lost the first set and got right back in it to win the second set and eventually win the third set super tie-break. Our second doubles team comprised of Manheimer and Granito, won in two straight sets, and the Friars went on to win 5-2. The Friars managed to persevere through a cold and windy day, to earn a win over Chaminade. They look to further improve and to clinch the championship.

Varsity Hockey Team Wins League Championship!!!!
Friars Win 2nd Straight CHSHL Title
The Friars are champs again! With their championship win over Monsignor Farrell, they won back to back championships in only their 3rd year in the league. The Friars beat the Lions in a clean sweep at the Ice Hutch in Mount Vernon. After a 4-2 victory in Game 1 of the finals, the Friars were using the goal of a second straight title to inspire them to win and win and win. And they did exactly that.
In Game 2, Farrell’s John Pallis beat St. Anthony’s goalie Sean Keating just 1 minute into the game to start off the scoring in the game. However, that lead wouldn’t last long enough. Friar’s forward Chris Wallace scored on a breakaway chance with 9 minutes left in the 1st period. But the scoring didn’t stop with that goal. Defenseman Jimmy Mazza fed a pass to Chris Wallace who scored for a shorthanded goal, only a couple of minutes after the Friars first goal and that goal gave a 2-1 lead for the Friars. Again, Friars forward Mike Marnell tallied another goal with 6 minutes left in the 1st period to give the Friars a 3-1 lead. Again, though, Farrell didn’t give up. Chris Gambardella scoring a goal, only 40 seconds after Marnell’s tally, cut the Friars lead to 3-2 once again. But the Friars consistent forward Mike Marnell got his second straight goal and ended the crazy 1st period with the Friars having a 4-2 lead over the Lions.
The 2nd period was a little less productive but the Friars found scoring once again from Senior Evan Katz who scored a goal with 8 minutes left in the 2nd. Sean Keating helped keep the Friars at a comfortable lead with a breakaway save off Farrell’s Sean Gargin.
After a penalty shot was awarded to Sean Gargin, he did beat Sean Keating this time and cut the Friars lead to 5-3. However, Friar’s Chris Sabanos scored the empty net goal to assure the win for the Friars and the championship.
Although the Friars were celebrating their 2nd consecutive CHSHL title, they will compete in the CHSAA state championship in Buffalo, NY. The Friars will either play with St. Francis or St. Joseph’s in the title game on March 6. The Friars will be in the State Championship for the second straight year and Friars goalie Sean Keating is looking forward to the game. “It’s gonna be a tough battle but I think we’re gonna play good hockey and all of us are going to contribute to a solid win.”
Hopefully, Sean’s hopeful statement will inspire other teammates to play focused and determined. Let’s go Friars!!
