At Brewster Ice Arena on Thursday night Horace Greeley hockey skated to a 3-1 victory over Fox Lane.  Greeley dominated play throughout, holding Fox Lane to just 14 shots on goal while they were able to put 35 shots on the Fox Lane goaltender.  Blake Davis led the team with two goals and the defense continued its outstanding play.

Greeley continued its ability to control play against weaker teams with a 7-2 victory over Byram Hills on Friday night. Greg Krisberg notched a hat trick and Noah Ives and Jake Sandor also tallied for Greeley.  Owen Gatto created many opportunities for his teammates, gathering 3 assists.

Greeley takes off a week and is back on the ice on Friday Feb 3 in a rematch at Sport O Rama in Monsey, NY against Pearl River, who defeated Greeley earlier in the season 3-2 and then Shepaug at Brewster at 6:10 pm on Saturday Feb 4.

With only four more games to go before playoffs the Greeley team will need to win its games against Pear River and later Ryetown/Harrison if they are to have a high seed when the playoffs begin.  The defense led by Owen Gatto, Greg Krisberg, Henry Girardi and Dean Klien as well as a group of strong backchecking forwards have kept opposing players and pucks away form goaltender Neil Hershman this year.  The team will need to score more goals if they are to advance deep in the playoffs next month.
