Peewees showed what team work looks like in a tie game with Parkway. Corey Rufo drew first blood halfway through the first and John Bernbaum potted one minutes later on a rail pass from Marc Giodarno. 2-0 M.E.B. at the end of 1 and it stayed that way until the 3rd when Parkway get some momentum going and scored two quick ones to tie it up and take away goaltender Kevin Ivany’s hard fought shutout opportunity.

BANTAM AAA (13-14 Years Old)
Malden/East Boston 6, Winthrop 0
Valley Rink, Malden MA
The M.E.B. Bantam AAA squad faced off against the boys from Winthrop and Winthrop didn’t know what hit them in a completely lop-sided contest. Ryan Noonan introduced the M.E.B. skill level with a 1st period dazzle swinging in wide and just destroying the top corner with an epic roofer and entered the 2nd with one goal lead.
Noonan sent a beautiful pass from behind the opponents net on to the stick of James Pandolfo, who didn’t hesitate in putting M.E.B. up by 2. Louis Staffieri provided another nice shot just below the cross pipe to take M.E.B. into the 3rd up by 3. The M.E.B. Bantam’s don’t take the 3rd period lightly and it was evident as they boys continued solid pressure and a great down low, offensive zone cycle leading to a goal by Noah Carlson. The constant hard work paid off big with a goal set up by a crashing Mike Defillipo banging in the neutral zone which led Anthony Cecca and Jonah Carlson in on a 2 on 0. Cecca selflessly sent the puck over to Carlson who in returned the favor, sending the Winthrop goalie to South Carolina and Cecca sending the puck on a first class trip to back of the net. Finally, the point man was utilized nicely in the Winthrop zone with Nick Salgado sending a nice high wrist shot from the point into the top of the net to finish out the game and sealing an M.E.B. victory.
