Thursday May 16(E-Division)
(5)Hellfish vs SilverSurfers(4)
A wild finish to the game leads to a dramatic opening win for the Hellfish. The Silver Surfers looked down in out after trailing 4-1 heading into the final period but managed to rally with three straight tallies to even the score with just under two minutes remaining. As much as it was a great comeback the Hellfish spoiled the night of their opponents thanks to a big late goal from A.Kouhen. Many players had highlight moments that included three tallies from S.Laurin of the Hellfish , three points by A.Kouhen and a hat trick from N.Miraldo of the Silver Surfers.
(9)Warriors vs Longhorns(2)
Wasting no time whatsoever the Warriors dictated the pace of the match with five first period unanswered goals. With so many goals scored, A.Desrosiers was the only Warrior with a pair of markers while A.Drajak caused most of the damage with one goal and four assists. The Longhorns did get on the board in the second period with efforts from B.Rubino and R.Verillo but that was all they got by the hot net minder M.Cadosi.
(11)Jac Motosport vs McGuire’s Monsters(3)
For two full periods this match was far from being decided till the Jac Motosport put the game away with six third period markers. J.Millette played like he was from another planet netting more than half of his team’s goals to finish with an impressive six goal performance while his teammate F.St-Vincent was almost equally impressive with two goals and four assists. The McGuire’s Monsters had their best moments in the second period where P.Legatos and D.Teoli collected their second point of the night.
(6)Blue Devils vs Armored Saints(4)
The duo between E.Girouard and B.Deslauries proved to be too much to handle on this night for the Armored Saints. Both players dominated the court participating in all six goals combining with nine points to help lead the Blue Devils to their opening win of the season. The Blue Devils grabbed a strangle hold of the match building a 4-1 second period lead till the Armored Saints got things going in the final frame with three markers that included M.Pecora and L.Dulcetta’s second of the game as the only two Armored Saints to get on the score sheet.
(2)Snookers vs Electric Area(10)
With half the match as close as it was changed by the nine minute mark of the second period where the Electric Area stormed with eight goals to put the game way. A.Attia’s back to back second period goals made the score 5-1 which led to a wave of tallies that included T.Savididis’s second of the night as well and A.Gregory’s third point of the game. In what was a good start to the season for the Electric Area left the Snookers in silence as they try and figure out how to bounce back for next weeks game.

(2)Red Nose vs Salmon King(5)
For two periods the Red Nose hung in there but couldn’t contain Y.DeCesare that scored twice in the third period where he completed his hat trick. The captain R.Ricard set the tone very early to open the scoring for the Salmon King while L.Laroque was credited the winner finishing his game with three points. Both goals belonged to N.Delia of the Red Nose that got help from J-P.Meunier and once by G.Delia.
(2)Maple Leafs Suck vs Behemasquatch(5)
He may not have scored but F.Camarda played a major role for the Behemasquatch to finish with three assists. M.Kardash was the only player in the match with a pair of tallies and was also involved in setting up A.Lewis’s game winning goal. The Behemasquatch did the right thing by building a 3-0 lead till N.Goncalves finally solved net minder M.DiMarco by the ten minute mark of the second period. That left one period where the Behemasquatch put the match away out scoring their opponents 2-1.
(8)Punishers vs Last Egg Roll(3)
A fury of goals leads to a good start to the season for the Punishers. It all began with C.Stamadianos two first period markers before able to complete his hat trick by the five minute mark of the third period. While he wasn’t the only one causing havoc, M.Hadjar and P.Karvouriaris found the back of the net on two occasions each. Both C.Stamadianos and P.Karvouiaris had stellar performances with six points a piece.

Wednesday May 15 (F-Division)

(6)Bijoux vs Brewers(5)
It may have resulted in a loss but the Brewers can take lots of positives after this opening match. D.Verta caused most of the problems participating in all five goals where he buried three straight tallies for the Brewers but it was D.Dias who had the last say netting his second late in the match that held up as the game winning goal. A.Tremblay scored twice as well for Bijoux while T.Fernando did the same for the Brewers.
(1)The Program vs Money Shot(7)
It was all about balanced scoring as the MoneyShot had seven different players find the back of the net. The Program, a young new team to the league faced off versus some experience in their season debut and although they had struggles scoring, J.Blouin did get his club on the board early in the final frame to spoil C.Lapara’s shutout. M.Barone had the most points on the night with one goal and two assists and J.Tortorici was credited the winner in a two point performance.

Wednesday May 15
(2)Golden Generals vs Red Lite(3) A-division
Recent winners of this past winter’s Premier division Red Lite edge the Golden Generals to open up their season. It was in the third period where J.Daoust and S.Morello scored less than three minutes apart to grab a 3-1 lead that ended up being enough for a tight win. Y.Labonte had the most points with two assists setting up his clubs first goal while feeding S.Morello for the game winner. The Golden Generals also had J.Paradis set up a pair of tallies that came off the blade of S.Proulx and J.Bilodeau.
(4)All Blacks vs Royal Flush(3) B-division
The Royal Flush enter the B division for the very first time after claiming the C division title not to long ago. Not bad for a first result as they nearly had the game only to give up a late goal by Y.Labonte. If there is one major positive that they can take out of this match is that they buried all three of their goals with the man advantage. The story of the night however was definitely Y.Labonte as he not only helped Red Lite win in the previous match but was able to add two goals for the All Blacks that included the game winner.

Tuesday May 14
(3)Scorpions vs Hellenic Republic(1)
T.Fernando’s lone second period tally put the Scorpions in front 2-1 before M.Hadjar sealed it with an early third period insurance marker giving the Scorpions a good start to the season. Hellenic did open the scoring early in the game credited to P.Elizardo but that was all they managed to get by the hot net minder as B.Verducci did an excellent job shutting the door the rest of the way. C.Vasilakakis had an impact as well finishing his night with a pair of helpers.
(2)Slayers vs Armada(0)
E.Morris may have saved the day for the Slayers pushing away 26 shots to record an early season shutout.

Apart from that splendid performance M.Sibley was able to net the other two goals for the Hornets while D.Perez and P.Papageorgou finished with a pair of assists each. Hellas did get a decent performance from their captain L.Hondronocolas who was able to finish with one goal and one assist.
(2)Thundercats vs Bijoux(3)
It took over a period but both sides finally broke the ice in the second frame where P-O.Lagace scored twice for the Thundercats with the help of A.Neven for a 2-1 second period lead. That didn’t stop F.Gianinni from equalising the score as the talented forward also netted his second of the match before his teammate D.Grasso put his club in front less than three minutes later with his third point of the night.

It wasn’t long ago that the Northstars captured the D Tuesday night division title and although its only one game in the C division they immediately get the attention as a potential front runner.

Hockey-balle au Québec : une nouvelle ère

La bannière Hockeyballe.com, premières ligues 5 vs 5 en importance au Québec, est heureuse d’annoncer une association avec le plus important tournoi de hockey-balle 3 vs 3 au Québec : la Coupe Burrows. Notons qu’Alex Burrows lui-même, ainsi que le président fondateur de la Coupe Burrows ont évolué dans ces ligues plusieurs années. Cette affiliation s’est donc créée naturellement. Nous vous donnerons plus de détails sur cette association très bientôt. 

À propos de Hockeyballe.com :Le hockey-balle a commencé à s’organiser au milieu des années 90, tout comme les Ligues de hockey-balle PTM. Dès 1995, une de leurs équipes devenait la première à remporter un Championnat national pour le Québec. Depuis ce temps, le sport s’est popularisé et des centaines d’équipes se sont jointes aux Ligues PTM, qui sont devenues les plus structurées en faisant partie de l’Association de hockey-balle du Québec. En date d’aujourd’hui, des équipes provenant de ces ligues ont remportés 9 Championnats nationaux, 4 Championnats régionaux de l’Est "B" et 5 régionaux de l’Est "C", pour un total de 18. Maintenant connues sous la bannière de Hockeyballe.com, elles offrent 5 différents calibres de jeu, de la Premier League, jusqu’à la division E, dans la région de Montréal et Laval. C’est à partir de ces ligues que proviennent plusieurs joueurs qui ont participé aux différents championnats de hockey-balle, tout comme Alex Burrows qui a remporté 6 Championnats nationaux avec le Red Lite de Montréal, en plus de deux Championnats mondiaux avec le Canada. 

À propos de la Coupe Burrows : L'idée est née à Vancouver en février 2011. À la suite d’une rencontre avec Alex Burrows, il a été convenu d'organiser le plus grand tournoi de hockey balle au monde et ce, en l’honneur du plus grand joueur! En mars, le projet était lancé et un calendrier prenait forme. En mai, la première qualification se jouait à Montréal. En tout, 10 qualifications ont eu lieu à travers le Québec et plus de 200 équipes, 1200 joueurs et joueuses, y ont participés. En août, le premier Championnat de la Coupe Burrows accueillait plus de 100 équipes, gagnantes et invitées, dont 8 ont reçu la précieuse Coupe des mains d’Alex Burrows. Au total, plus de 50,000 en prix a été remis aux gagnants et finalistes des 8 catégories (A - B - C+ - C - D - F1 - F2 - F3)!

CBHA Minor and Adult High Performance Directors Named

The Canadian Ball Hockey Association (CBHA) is pleased to announce Gary Slavin from Maple Ridge, BC as the new CBHA Minors HP Director and Terry Ryan from Mount Pearl, NL as the CBHA Adult HP Director. Both individuals bring incredible expertise to these positions through their lifelong dedication to the sport as players, volunteers and leaders. The CBHA is very excited at the passion both gentlemen have for advancing their respective programs and their combined vision to build bridges between the minor and adult programs, creating a coordinated high performance program from coast to coast.

Gary Slavin, directeur du programme senior

They say that true leadership shines through early in life and for Gary Slavin that was certainly the case. Taking on the organization of a street hockey league after school as a teen, this early ball hockey experience was just the start of a long and successful career in ball hockey as a player, coach, father (of two young players) and league executive. Over the last 7 years Gary has coached one or two teams in ‘house’ league in addition to coaching competitively in two Provincials, seven Western Challenge Cups, six Junior Nationals and one Junior World Championship. During this period Gary also served on the executives of the Ridge Meadows Minor Ball Hockey and West Coast Minor Ball Hockey Associations providing the extra time and leadership needed to keep the game strong and coordinated. In 2012 Gary was appointed General Manager of U16 & U18 Junior Team Canada (being part of 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze) and sat on the CBHA Junior Team Canada High Performance Committee. The level of organization and communication provided by Gary to parents, coaches, players and staff was appreciated and recognized by everyone. Having worked with minors at so many levels, Gary has taken and sees the value of programs like the NCCP Coaching Certification, Speak Out (Respect in Sport) and basic First Aid certification, as essential elements needed by those working with children and youth. Gary puts the kids first and is passionate about giving opportunities while creating safe and supportive environments for growth. The CBHA is very excited that Gary will be taking his incredible vision to this new role of Minors HP Director and looks forward to working with him to not only build a strong Junior Team Canada Program but help advance youth ball hockey development Canada-wide.

Terry Ryan, directeur du programme senior

 

Excelling, building and developing ball hockey from the grassroots to the world stage is something that is very close to Terry Ryan’s heart. You just need to sit and speak with him for 5 minutes to hear the excitement in his voice when he talks about this great game and where he hopes it can develop in the years to come. Terry Ryan has made a huge impression across Canada and internationally in the ball hockey world. Terry has represented Canada in 2003, 2007, 2009 and 2011 as a member of Men’s Team Canada at the ISBHF World Championships and will be representing Canada once again at the upcoming 2013 Worlds in St John's. Although Terry may be best known for his performances as an athlete, he also gives much back as a volunteer and parent, receiving many community service awards for his dedication. Terry has incredible media and broadcasting experience (TV, radio and print) and he is about to publish a book “Tales of a First Round Nothing” that chronicles his experience in the NHL. As part of his volunteer experience Terry helped develop the Breakaway Youth Program for Inuit youth in Natuashish (formerly Davis Inlet) a small community near Labrador to help address the staggering substance abuse problems so prevalent in this community. This innovative program used hockey as a reward for studying- ‘education through motivation’ - with boys traveled to play in tournaments giving them opportunities beyond their communities. Organizing the program, related trips and requests for funding to keep the program going are all great skills Terry has acquired through this program that he brings to the new HP Adult position. Terry feels very fortunate for all the opportunities he has had and wants to help develop both high performance and grassroots development across Canada within the Adult program. The CBHA is very excited to welcome Terry as the new Adult HP Director and looks forward to building on the passion and unbelievable connections that he brings to this position.
