Saturday, November 5, 2011, 12:55PM

The Vipers got their legs back for the second half of the doubleheader with the Glades as they scored on their very first shift of the game and never looked back in a 5-3 win. Kyle Hentosh (3-2-5) had a monster game in this one as he was in on all 5 goals.The green line started the game and got the puck deep and it never came out of the Glades end until the ref was picking the puck out of the back of the net as Henny cashed in after a Steven Tettoni (0-1-1) slapper from the point was stopped, Kyle Lynch (0-2-2) also picked up an assist. Dante Maribito (2-1-3) would put the home team up by 2 with assists going to both Henny and Lynchy. The third goal came via the most exciting play in hockey as Kyle Hentosh was taken down from behind on a breakaway and awarded a penalty shot, he cashed in and the Vipers lead was 3-0. Hentosh would complete the "hatty" with just about a minute left in the second, again with help from both his linemates Lynchy and Maribito as the Vipers were up 4-0 after 2 periods. The Glades would get a PP goal to cut the lead to 4-1, and then score again with 5 minutes left to close the score to 4-2, but with just 2 minutes left Dante Maribito from Henny would seal the deal for this one. The glades would score a goal as the buzzer sounded in this one but the damage was already done and the Vipers came out with a solid win. Evan Daddario again sat this one out and hopes to return to the line up soon.

98Es Earn Split With Glades

Saturday, November 5, 2011, 12:53PM

After playing a huge emotional game on Friday night and not getting off the ice until 10:30 in Tewksbury the night before, the Vipers had a tough task at hand made tougher yesterday morning against the very talented Glades. And the game went just as planned by some as the Vipers just had no spring in their step in a tough 3-2 loss to the Glades. The Vipers found themselves in a hole early down 2-0 after one as they just could not get their legs going. The second period was a different one as the Vipers battled back to tie the game. Dom Cappadona would get things started for the home team as hepinched down the wall cashed in on a turnover and fired a low hard shot far side for the 1-0 lead, Brendan White picked up the assist. Kyle Lynch would tie the game just 4 minutes later as he took a nice feed from Kyle Hentosh and the Vipers had a bit of momentum heading into the crucial third period. The boys would just not have enough gas as they gave up the game winner with just 5 minutes left. The 98s gave everything they had in the face of some adversity but it just wasn't enough against a very strong Glades team. Matters were made worse as the red hot Evan Daddario went down with an injury in the first period not to return for the game. Ryan Connearney and Christian KUkas turned in a pretty solid game on the blue line for the Vipers and Alex Delvento did a fine job once again jumping between forward and defense

98Elites Slay Spartans, 5-2

Sunday, October 30, 2011, 1:37PM

Using a 3 goal first period and scoring from all 3 lines the Vipers continued their strong play in defeating the talented Seacoast Spartans 5-2. Kyle Hentosh (1-1-2) Evan Daddario and Braden Haley (2-0-2) would all tally first period goals as the Vipers came out with to much energy and intensity for the Spartans to handle. The Vipers were also helped along by a strong performance between the pipes turned in by Aaron McDonnell as he would stop 2 breakaways and make a few other quality stops when the game was close. The Spartans would push back at the beginning of the second to cut the lead to 3-1 and control the first half of the second period. Braden Haley would deliver the knockout punch as he would capitalize on a fine pass from Brendan WHite (0-2-2) and bang home his second of the night with just 2 minutes left in the second period. The Spartans would again cut the lead to 2 5 minutes into the third, but the Vipers would then capitalize on the power play as Dante Maribito from high in the slot would fine the back of the net after a nice feed from Kyle Lynch. Dom Cappadona and Aaron Dollin would also pick up helpers from the blueline as the defenseman would all play a string game in this one. Ryan Connearney and Patrick McCarthy (+3) both turned in solid efforts and Steven Tettoni and Christian Kukas did a fine job playing shutdown defense

98s Skate Past Red Rangers, 7-1

Sunday, October 30, 2011, 1:23PM

The Vipers would score 3 goals in both the second and third periods to skate past the hard working and well coached Red Rangers 7-1. The home team would also capitalize on 3 power plays and get scoring from all 3 lines for the second game in a row in continuing their torrid pace. Evan Daddario (2-2-4) would be one of the offensive leaders in this one as he turned in a solid effort in this one. Kyle Lynch (1-2-3) Dante Maribito (1-1-2) and Kyle Hentosh(1-1-2) would add the power play tallies. Henny's goal was a thing of perfection just 7 seconds into the third that put the nail in this one as the green line executed their center ice face off play perfectly as Dante won the face off ahead and Lynchy won the race and the battle to gain possession then hit Henny with a perfect pass streaking hard to the net. JT Chamberlain and Noah Maercklein were the other goal scorers for the Vipers and Steven Tettoni continued his fine play from the blueline and picked up a helper. Zach Laramie would go the distance in picking up the win between the pipes.
