Over 30 Hockey League

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Nick Doherty of First Responders.

Nick FINALLY breaks out on offense scoring a hat trick and was the best player on offense for his team.  After waiting all season for this player to show up, he finally broke out.  If this game triggers Nick being THAT player from the past impacting the offense, look out the rest of the competition (he could be his team's "X Factor" in a playoff run).

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Bob Snyder of Cam-A-Lot.

In a tough season for his team, dealing with players going out on IR due to injuries, being short-handed on defense, and struggling for wins, Bob simply showed up each week and did his job, as he has done previously in the past 40 years of playing the sport of Dek hockey competitively.  In playing his last regular season game in any Dek hockey league, the Over-30 league wanted to recognize Bob one last time before he retires.

It has been the league’s privilege to have Bob compete and play with us.  We are honored that we were the last league he played in.  He leaves a legacy of winning three championships in his first four years played in the league as well as being a great team mate and all-around good guy who always appreciated what the league gave back to him.  As Director, I personally want to thank Bob for playing an integral part in giving the Over-30 league and myself our three minutes of fame by showcasing the league on WCVB Channel 5 sports during prime time.  His gesture of showing the league and its essence to a wider audience is something that I will always be grateful for.  Thank you Bob, as one of the foundational senior veteran players who played for the love of our game and played this game the right way!   

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Gino Tammaro of Capo-Zero.

With only 3-assists to show for production in his last seven games, Gino Tammaro finally "woke up" from his dormant offensive production sleep just in time, to factor in all his team’s goals, with 1-goal and 2-assists. 

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dale McIsaac of Capo-Zero.

With his team winning three of its last four games heading into the playoffs, Dale has played a huge part in their late season turnaround, giving up only seven goals during that stretch.  Dale stopped 28 out of 30 shots faced, and kept this game tied until his team found a way to score the go ahead winning goal.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Elder Lopes of First Responders.

Surprisingly, Elder has not won a defenseman of the week award prior to this.  In a big head-to-head matchup to determine the 2^nd playoff seed, Elder rose to the occasion to quarterback his team’s defense by jumping into the offense to score a key goal, while assisting on another.

Senior Citizen 60+ Monthly award winners

November - The winner of the Senior Citizen award for the month of November is Tony Bono of First Responders.

Tony has always been one of the most versatile players in the league.  As one of the elder players in the league, he may have slowed down but he always gives a steady effort as a forward or defenseman.  After a slow start stat-wise his first seven games played, Tony has caught fire just like his team the last five games, winning four of the five, while he has posted

3-goals and 2-assists for 7-points during that streak.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Patrick Spencer of Tommy Guns.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Sean Roach of Poo Bears.

Ironically, this is Sean’s first Goalie of the Week award this season.  Perhaps it is because how the team in front of him is playing with contributions from multiple players.  Or perhaps it has been Sean’s overall consistency all season long that gets overlooked.  Sean did more of the same in his game, only giving up one goal while stopping 19 out of 20 shots faced for his league leading 10^th win of the season.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Paul Firicano of Tommy Guns.

Paul returns to action and makes an immediate impact this game, playing a lot of minutes with his team short-handed on defense, scoring the game winning goal while setting up 2-goals.

Kyle has a breakout performance to lead his team in scoring 2-goals (his first goals of the season), giving his team a big momentum boost for their struggling offense, as he has his running legs going this game.  His scoring could have a huge impact on turning around his team's dormant offense.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dale McIsaac of Capo-Zero.

Dale is a brick wall in net, stopping 24 of 25 shots faced, winning his second game in a row to lead his team’s turnaround and getting back to their winning ways, as he extends his goals against streak only allowing one goal against to two games.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is John Carey of Capo-Zero.

Coming off the IR list after being out for 6 weeks was just what his team needed to solidify their defensive core and get back to their strength as a group limiting the opponents scoring chances.  Considering his extensive layoff, John picked right up where he left off, playing solidly all game.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Dan Poirier Sr of The Revolution.

Dan Poirier Sr continues to find his all-around game, especially scoring goals, as he scores another 2-goals, while adding 1-assist, with 4-goals scored in his last two games.  Looks like the Revolution has found their secret weapon on offense.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Derrick Power of Cam-A-Lot.

Jason has a statement game on offense, scoring the game winner in OT, while setting up two powerplay goals to start the third period and bring his team back from a one goal deficit entering the final period. 

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Rob Sheridan of Poo Bears.

Rob has his hands all over this game in leading the offense, scoring a huge goal in the third period helping his team grab the lead again, while setting up 2-goals.  Rob may not be putting up the numbers on offense as in seasons past, but he is playing a key part in his team's balanced offensive attack and depth scoring.  True leaders lead by example, but, the great leaders lead by their all-around play which may not show up on the game sheet!

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Leo Trombley of Poo Bears.

Leo has been quiet on offense most of this season, but finally breaks out in one of the biggest games of the season, scoring 2-goals, after going seven weeks without scoring a goal.  His 2-goals went a long way in helping his team extend their place atop the team standings.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Dan Poirier Sr. of The Revolution.

Rookie Dan Poirier Sr. continues to make the most of his opportunity as a full-time roster player and giving his new team some scoring depth, as he scores 2-goals, giving him 5-goals scored in only three games played.  Once he gets into playing shape, he could be a lethal scoring threat for this team down the stretch.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Scott Rosato of The Revolution.

Since week 3 of the season, Scott has been locked in as one of the top goalies of the league, keeping his GAA near the top of the Leading Goalies race.  His overall play has benefitted his team’s turnaround after a rough start, giving them a consistent presence behind them guarding the net.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Cappy of First Responders.

Cappy, having a very quiet season so far as he usually factors in on the score sheets, plays a big role in this game from defense, breaking out scoring 2-goals (his first goals of the season), while adding some depth scoring from the back end.

Senior Citizen 60+ Monthly award winners

October - The winner of the Senior Citizen award for the month of October is Naz of Poo Bears

Naz’s steady consistent play on defense has given his team a lot of defensive depth and has been very noticeable this season.  With his conditioning increased, Naz is a minute’s eater on the rink, His standout play during the month of October was a big reason why his team ran the table in their current five game winning streak, during their second rotation of games against other teams.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Dave Giusti of First Responders.

When all six goalies stand out and don’t give up many goals in all the games, THAT gets noticed!  Usually when that happens one goalie tends to stand out from the others.  And on top of that the rare occurrence happens when that goalie gets the Player of the Week honors.  Backstopping his team to a win, Dave stopped 29 out of 30 shots he faced, many of which were point blank range, and pulled off the unthinkable, having a few of the league’s top goal scoring snipers shaking their heads.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Jose Silva of Cam-A-Lot.

With their season slipping away, dealing with the loss of a key player and others out with injuries, someone needed to step up on offense to spark some life into a dormant offensive scoring attack.  Enter Jose, who played his best game of the season, scoring 1-goal and assisting on a key insurance goal for a much-needed win.  Is this the turning point of the season for Jose to move past that “player with potential” label to a team leader.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Rick Cassano of Poo Bears.

Recently called out after his lackluster performance this season after winning the Director’s Choice award in the last Jamboree, Ricky took that to heart and stood out on the rink.  Especially in the second period, he had multiple scoring chances and shot attempts that couldn’t find the back of the net.  His key assist late in the first period got his team back into a tie game.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Anthony Petrillo of Cam-A-Lot.

After losing their top player on offense to the IR list, and having difficulty scoring goals, the Cam-A-Lot team has been struggling and looking for something to bring their team together and change their season around.  They may have just found it with the play of their rookie goalie Anthony who was once again locked in and very active, keeping his team close until they could find their offense.  Stopping multiple breakaways during that time, sent his team a very loud message.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Derek Donegan of Cam-A-Lot.

Derek has had a tough season so far, dealing with a physical injury, and not scoring as frequently as in the past.  Derek’s key goal halfway through his game, gave his team the lead as they pulled off a much-needed win.  In addition, Derek played a lot of minutes, quarterbacked the play in his defensive zone, and was a vocal leader on the rink.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Mike Duggan of Tommy Guns.

Mike finally took over a game for his team rather than act as the playmaker setting up goals, by scoring a hat trick.  Mike's overall play in this game as a goal scorer and leader were evident, as he scored all of his goals in the third period to bring his team completely back from a three-goal deficit after two periods.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Tony Bono of First Responders.

Always dependable and versatile, Tony quietly goes under the radar in his games.  As one of the league’s senior players, he will fill any need for his team.  He may not have the speed anymore, but he typically makes up for it with solid position.  All of this was rewarded as Tony scored his first goal of the season to spark his team to break open a close game.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Eddie Chin of First Responders.

Eddie always does the grunt work for his team, pressuring the other team’s defense, going to the front of the net, and when he does score a goal, he usually sets up another goal for his team.  Eddie has been surprisingly one of the top goal scorers and points scorers for his team, overshadowing some of the high price talent on his team.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dave Giusti of First Responders.

Dave had a bounce back game, posting his first shutout of the season, stopping all 17 shots faced in his game, in an easy day at the office, which will certainly go a long way in helping his Pink Shirt Challenge.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Dave Costa of Poo Bears.

With his team surprisingly down by two goals heading into the third period, Dave’s ball control skills stood out all game as he set up the game tying goal a few minutes into the third period, then sealed the victory with a deflected shot insurance goal with minutes remaining.  Dave continues to lead all defensemen in scoring.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Pedro Fontes of Poo Bears.

Pedro continues to step up on offense, scoring a hat trick and extending his point streak to five games, while scoring 9-goals during this streak.  Pedro has now moved up to challenge for that first spot in the leading scorer's race.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Dan Poirier Sr of The Revolution.

Fill-in player no longer, Dan comes in and makes the most of his opportunity to stand out and make the full-time roster of this team, scoring the hat trick to lead the team's offense as he was the difference maker in this game.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Tom Gallagher of Tommy Guns.

Tom once again is the engine driving his team's offense with a stand-out performance, scoring 4-goals and adding 1-assist, as he factors in on five of his team's goals scored.  As captain he is driving his team’s high powered goal production.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is free agent fill-in Jeremy Kelly.

Called in on short notice to fill in and cover for two goalies in one day, Jeremy rebounded from a shaky first game to post a shutout in his second game, stopping all 24 shots faced to help the team keep the lead until their offense got on track.  For both games, Jeremy stopped 50 of 55 shots faced.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Seth Ford of Poo Bears.

Seth has fit in very well for his team as a depth defenseman who can eat up minutes, plays solid position, while defending the front of his net.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Cam Long of Cam-A-Lot.

Not to be overlooked is the return to action of the much-heralded rookie Cam Long from injury.  Playing defense and a lot of minutes, Cam pulled off the very rare feat of not seeing his name on the game sheet, but single-handedly controlling the game from defense with his breakaway speed and uncanny ball control.  In this reporter’s eyes, without a doubt, he was the best player in his game.  His ability under pressure to not panic and hold onto the ball putting it into places for his teammates to generate scoring chances was reminiscent of the glory days of Mattie Iannello in its similarity

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Donnie Maccini of Cam-A-Lot.

The former "raggedy man" Donnie scores the game's only goal at the end of the first period, with a sniper top far corner shot from inside the faceoff circle, scoring his first goal of the season.  Donnie was running all game and seemed energized as whispers from the sideline could be heard "what's gotten into Donnie, he is running", as well as "amazing what a new wardrobe look has changed his game."

Marty shows flashes of his past self with some killer timely goal scoring with 2-goals, both times adding some insurance for his team to break away from a close game.

Playing some major minutes against a very fast team that was constantly on the forecheck, Colleen held her own, playing outstanding position and making some smart reads in her defensive zone.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is John Kelleher of First Responders.

Every so often, the “old guys” can still make their impact on a game.  John Kelleher leads the offense for his team, scoring a hat trick while adding 1-assist, factoring in four of his team's five goals.  After starting the season with 0 points in his first four games, John has caught fire with 4-goals and 2-assists his last two games!

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Eddie Chin of First Responders.

Eddie hustles all game on the forecheck which pays of as he scores 1-goal and adds 2-assists.  Eddie continues to step up all season and provide some timely secondary scoring for his team.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Pedro Fontes of Poo Bears.

Pedro is on fire, as he sparked his team's offense (again), scoring 2-goals while adding 1-assist.  It was his third consecutive game of scoring 2-goals, and he was the best player on the rink in his game.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Scott Rosato of The Revolution.

A big part contributing to the turnaround of The Revolution has been the steady play all season of Scott Rosato.  After giving up two early goals in the first period, Scott closed the door, stopping all 20 shots he faced the rest of the game, giving his team a chance to get their offense in gear before winning this game.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Jason Carrien of The Revolution.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Lee Nogler of Cam-A-Lot.

Lee Nogler, was expected to score a lot of goals for his team; however, during his first four games played he had yet to score a goal.  That quickly changed big time, scoring a hat trick, to lead his team’s offense.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dave Giusti of First Responders.

After a shaky start to his season and his game, goalie Dave Giusti finally settles in stopping all 17 shots he faced in the second and third periods to help his team get back into this game, until the offense found its scoring game.  Dave’s play in net, played a role in handing his opponent their first loss of the season.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Joe Carlton of First Responders.

An underrated defenseman, Joe adds depth not only with his defense but also from time to time factoring into the offense, as he scored a big insurance goal in the third period, while setting up another goal.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Angelo De Luca of Capo-Zero.

The captain stepped up his game, having a big impact in the final score, as he scored a key goal in the second period to break open a one-goal game, while also setting up two goals, as he factored in three of the four goals his team scored.

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Naz of Poo Bears.

As one of the league’s underrated “shutdown” defensemen, you won’t find Naz’s name on the game sheets much. In his game, we saw the exception, as he assisted on two key goals in the second period that changed the momentum of the game and helped break open a one-goal game into a three-goal differential.

Dave showed why he continues to be one of the top defensemen in the league, as well as being a difference maker in a game’s outcome, as he scored his team’s first goal of the game, while setting up two others.

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dale McIsaac of Capo-Zero.

Posting his first shutout of the season, stopping all 26 shots he faced, Dale was solid in net especially when it mattered in a 1-0 game halfway through the game.  In three of his four games played, Dale has given up a stingy 2 goals against.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is John Carey of Capo-Zero.

With his team playing short-handed on defense, John played a lot of minutes, helped control the play in his own defensive zone, while limiting the oppositions scoring chances, helping his team record their first shutout of the season.

The winner of the Senior Citizen award for the month of September is Alex Leone of Tommy Guns.

Congratulations Alex on being the first winner of the newly established Senior Citizen monthly award and winner of the $40 Kane’s doughnuts gift card.  Alex’s steady play on defense not allowing a lot of goals to be scored against his team, while adding extra depth to the defensive group, has solidified the back end for his team, complimenting the high-powered offense of his team, posing a lethal combination for their opponents.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Kevin Wilson of Capo-Zero.

Standing out in his first game playing as a full-time roster player for his team, the rookie made quite the impression, scoring a goal while adding an assist in a close game, won by his team. Kevin’s immediate impact and versatility added another depth dimension that is benefitting his team. 

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Tony Mastrocola of Tommy Guns.

The munchkin has been off to a very hot start in the early part of the season, moving into 4^th place alone in the leading scorer’s race, scoring 2-goals while adding an assist in his team’s blowout win.  Tony’s production has given his team even more firepower depth to the wealth of scoring by his team.

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Ron Aquino of The Revolution.

The “Flyin Hawaiian” is back!  It’s been a long time coming but welcome back Ron for making some timely plays and scoring.  Ron’s timely plays during the first period, scoring 1-goal while making a beautiful pass on their second goal, along with assisting on an insurance goal, got well-deserved recognition as the top star of his game. 

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is A J Larabee of Tommy Guns.

Having a high-powered offense in front of you can sometimes be taken for granted by goalies causing them to ease up in their game.  Not A J.  If anything, it has focused A J even more to start the season as the top goalie in the league, as he recorded the first shutout of the season, stopping all 20 shots faced.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Rob Greene of The Revolution.

You won’t find Rob’s name much on the scoresheet as he typically goes about his business quietly.  His overall play has been getting more and more noticeable as he continues to make a lot of simple yet crucial plays defensively in his zone.  His continuing emergence as a solid under the radar defenseman will benefit his team.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Tom Gallagher of Tommy Guns.

Not to be overlooked by those “young guns” on his line, Tom reminded everyone that as the old man on that line, he still is a dangerous scoring threat, as he upped his game by scoring a hat trick over three periods, while adding an assist.  Reminding the league to focus on trying to shut down those two young guns at your own peril!

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Joe “Guido” Conary of Capo-Zero.

Guido was the lone bright spot for his team in their loss, scoring 2-goals (three goals in his last two games) to lead his team on offense, while taking an inadvertent high stick early in the second period removing him from the game only to return and finish the game (now that is a hockey player).

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Pat Pirone of Poo Bears.

As one of the league’s 60+ elder statesman, Pat scored his team’s first goal, while stepping up his game on offense with five shots on net, and a net front presence, with his team missing its top line. 

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Scott Rosato of the Revolution.

Scott was the best player in this game, even though his team lost.  If not for the exceptional play of Scott in net, this game could easily have been a blowout.  Yes, he was that good.  Get behind him Revolution if you want to turn your season around.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is John Hines of Poo Bears.

With his team missing its first line, John was the offense for his team from defense, as he steps up his game, scoring 1-goal while setting up two goals.

The Dunkin Player of the Week award winner is Mike O’Neil of First Responders.

Could it be that Mike will live up to his past history boast of “coming for records?”  He certainly started off his season the right way, scoring a hat trick and breaking open a tied game, sparking his team to score four straight goals (three of which were scored in the third period).  

The winner of the Dick’s Sporting Goods weekly award is Tim Burke of Cam-A-Lot.

After going on IR most of last season followed by off-season surgery, Tim looked better than ever with his all-around play on the rink, setting up a goal late in the third period to help spark his team’s three goal deficit comeback which fell just short.  

The winner of the weekly AARP award is Tony Medeiros of Cam-A-Lot.

Making the shift back to defense obviously hasn’t diminished Tony’s game as he scored a goal while managing to take 10 shots on net out of the 28 shots on net taken by his team.  Tony’s play on defense should quickly get his defensive teammates games up to speed very quickly.  

The winner of the Nelson Sousa memorial Goalie of the Week award is Dale McIsaac of Capo-Zero.

Dale appears to be on a mission this year to reclaim his status as the league’s top goalie.  With a new team and defense in front of him, Dale stopped 22 of 23 shots he faced, looking impressive in his debut.

The winner of the Mylec Defenseman of the Week award is Jamie Kehoe of Capo-Zero.

Another player hampered by nagging injuries last season, Jamie looked like the franchise defenseman back there, controlling the play, while also scoring the first goal of the game which helped shift the momentum to his team, as they scored three goals in the first period in less than two minutes.
