The North Park PeeWees lost 6-2 to the Aviator Hockey Club of Brooklyn in the finals of the New York City Youth Ice Hockey Championship this past Saturday at City Ice Pavilion.  The Aviators will have their name engraved on the Mayor's Cup, a travelling trophy that is awarded annually to the best youth hockey team in the five boroughs.

North Park reached the finals by defeating the Cyclones in two home and away matches.  North Park also had defeated Aviators previously in the tournament on goal differential, having lost the first match 4-2 before winning the second match 5-2.  This game represented the rubber match and the Aviators came out on top.

In the Squirt finals, the Aviators also prevailed, defeating the NYC Cyclones by a score of 7-2.

It was a great effort on behalf of the team and Coach David (check out his little assistant in the photo).  Congrats to the team for making the finals.  We are all looking forward to next season.

The Maple Leafs, their dads in tow, held an outdoor practice Sunday at Lasker Rink in Central Park.  The Leafs were on the ice at 12:30 p.m. shortly after the North Park practices ended.  The weather was perfect.

The Leafs were travelling with their fathers on a two-game road trip to Boston and New York.  Below is a link for some videos of the action at Lasker and the fathers' reactions to being out "on the pond".  There are five or six separate videos/interviews, all dated December 4, 2011 that you can watch.

Go North Park!

The PeeWee A team capped off a magical season by winning the White Plains Plainsmen Tournament Saturday, March 12, 2011, beating the Rye Rangers in an overtime shoot-out thriller, 4-3.  The PeeWees were down 3-1 going into the third period before rallying to tie the game 3-3.  After a five minute overtime without a goal, the game went to a five person shoot-out which came down to the final shooter, the PeeWee A team captain, who sealed the victory with a deft move to beat the Rye goalie.

The PeeWees beat the Rye Rangers, Bedford Bears and White Plains Plainsmen along the way to make it into the tournament finals.  The win capped an amazing undefeated run since the middle of January 2011.  Since then the PeeWees have gone an astonishing 17-0-1, finishing with a 29-5-2 overall record. In addition to the tournament championship win this week, the PeeWees won the Club League Championship and had wins over several powerful non-league foes, including the Avalanche and Colonials, during the undefeated stretch.

Congratulations to Coach David, Coach Robert and the PeeWees on an awesome season!
