Demolition Down Titans in Shootout 5-4

By Lee W. Mowen

DAYTON, OHIO- After a rough four game trip in the Northeast, the Dayton Demolition came to battle back home at Hara Arena. For the first of two home games this February weekend, the Danbury Titans came to play in the Gem City.

Both teams battled through a scoreless 1st Period, with Danbury blasting shots left and right on Jo St. Pierre's home debut. The Titans outshot the Wrecking Crew 18-7 in the first frame. Mike Pearless and St. Pierre's shutouts were gone quickly into the 2nd period, with a Ryan Patsch tap from Tyler Gjurich and John Scorcia fifty-eight seconds in. Dayton answered back quickly with the first Power Play goal of the game, from Martin Uhnak (from Brian Marks and Jacques Lamoureux.) Shortly after the tying offer, Danbury struck twice to build their biggest lead of the game.

Dean Yakura's first of two on the night happened at the 3:16 mark with some Brett Liscomb direction. About three and half minutes later, Gjurich scored his 40th goal of the season, along with Yakura and Scorcia breaking open space on the near side. Danbury went up by two, only to have the Demolition tie it up closing the 2nd Period.

Jesse Felten stormed the left wing of the attacking zone, zipping an unassisted tally passed Pearless to cut the deficit down to one. Dayton ties it late in the 2nd with Lamoureux burying a loose puck past the stretched-out Titan goalie, with Kozlak and Uhnak delivering.

Both teams exchanged a goal in the 3rd period, as Yakura scored again with Liscomb and Mike Driscoll's help at the 3:26 mark. Michael Dolman answered the call to keep the game knotted, as he sails a shot past Pearless with Felten and Myles McCauley driving. Both teams stayed the course throughout a wild third period and a close Overtime frame, as a Shootout was the only way to solve things tonight.

Dayton's Martin Uhnak and Jesse Felten were the scorers of the SO frame, and St. Pierre kept the high-powered Titans shooters at bay, only allowing Tyler Gjurich to connect once. Dayton took the contest 5-4 after the dust settled on Pink the Rink Night.

With the win, Dayton improved to 11-22-3 on the year and Danbury fell to 26-11-4 on the year. Jacques Lamoureux was the 3rd Star of the match, tallying a goal and an assist on the night. Danbury's Dean Yakura was the 2nd star with a pair of goals and one assist, and Dayton's Jesse Felten was the 1st Star with a goal, an assist, and a score in the shootout.

These teams will meet up again Sunday afternoon at 5:00 at Hara Arena. For broadcasting information and tickets, visit Demolitionhockey.com.

Dashers Score Six Straight in Comeback vs Prowlers

By Easton Hoskins

The Danville Dashers took on the Port Huron Prowlers in front of a crowd of near 1,475 from the David S. Palmer Arena on Saturday night. Danville won the contest 8-4, after trailing at one point 4-2. Daniel Turgeon led the charge for Danville with two goals and an assist.

We will pick this game up with 15 minutes left in the second period. After giving up two goals he should have saved, Matt Anthony was replaced by Dalton McGrath who was fresh off of a call up. McGrath would stop the minute three shots he would see for the rest of the game. Danville would score five power play goals in the game, two of those coming from five on three advantages. A.J Tesoriero scored a goal on Prowlers goalie Dan McWhinney with 10 minutes and 30 seconds to go in the second period that would spark the team to score three more after that, and take a 6-4 lead into the locker room after two periods of play. Danville would go on to score two more goals in the third and win the contest 8-4.

Brent Clakre, Brad Denny, Tesoriero, Daniel Turgeon (2), Justin Levac, Scott Morongell, and Justin Brausen would do the scoring for Danville in this contest. Chris Leveille (2), Dustin Skinner, and Scott Witmyer all scored for Port Huron.

Danville had 16 penalty minutes on five infractions, to Port Huron's 30 minutes on 10 infractions.

These same two teams will play again tomorrow night at the David S. Palmer Arena at 5:05 pm in the rubber match of the teams five games over the past two weekends.
