Squirts

The Gateway Squirts played Plymouth Black at the Bridgewater AHL rink on Saturday.  Matthew Quinlin started the Squirts off with a goal to get them on the board. Juni Suarze then scored and then Matthew Quinlin scored again with the assist by Matthew Paling.  To finish the first period, Jacob Hebbel added one more to the score giving the Gateway Squirts a 4-0 lead. In the second period, the Squirts dominated the ice with goals by Juni Suarez, Matthew Quinlin with two for a hat trick and Nathan Ribiero for a period ending score of 8-0. In the final period, Trendyn Medeiros provided Matthew Quinlin with the assist he needed to get one more goal and close the game with a 9-0 final score.  While the Gateway defense was strong led by Braden MacDonald, Brady Kidney, Lucas Demoranville and Thomas Leger Goalie Ryker King made good saves when needed and got the shut out.

Pee Wees

The Gateway Pee Wee team lost their second straight game of this young season Saturday, this time to Pembroke by 2-0. Unlike their season opener, the Pee Wees showed great improvement in a highly competitive game.

Bantams

The Gateway Youth Hockey Bantam team defeated Milton 6-1. Zack Lovendale led the team with a 4-point night, as he finished with a hat trick and an assist. Josh Smolinsky had a goal and an assist. Robert Ramsay and Jared Westgate each had goals, and Nick Snow picked up his first point of the season by assisting one of Lovendale’s tallies. Goalies Steven Strachan and Zachary Pateakos each played well in net. Pateakos has yet to give up a goal.

Middle School 1

The Middle School 1 team ran into a tough Mansfield team on Friday, losing 4-1. The Junior Vikings gave up an early goal and played behind for the game. Although they were chasing, they had great pressure on the opposing team, blistering the goalie with multiple shots. He stopped all attempts except for one. Robert Ramsay got the Junior Vikings on the board with a second period goal, assisted by Robert Maloney. At that point it was 2-1 and that would be the closest the game would be. The Junior Vikings played tough, but it wasn’t their day. They have a bye next week and won’t be back on the ice until Sept. 26.
