USHL Waterloo Black Hawks

Hawks Go to Townsend

Waterloo Black Hawks News Release


Teddy Townsend helped produce the Waterloo Black Hawks' first three goals Friday during a 4-1 win against the Chicago Steel at Young Arena.

Townsend's three-point effort gives him 33 this season. That ties him for the team lead with Kaeden Hawkins - who notched one assist versus the Steel - and Dylan Compton, who had a goal and an assist on Friday.

The Black Hawks flew to an early lead, scoring on the game's first shot, just 17 seconds into the contest. Several players collided in the neutral zone, leading to a two-on-one Waterloo rush; Townsend slipped a pass across the slot to Compton, who was waiting to tap the puck into an open side.

Waterloo made it 2-0 at 2:28, after forcing a turnover inside the Steel line. Townsend centered from the end wall to Ty Mason waiting at the top of the crease. Mason flipped the puck over Louka Cloutier's left shoulder.

The Steel responded in kind, capitalizing on a Waterloo giveaway at 9:15. Cameron Briere stepped in front of a clearing attempt and slung a pass across the slot, clicking with Kolin Sisson to finish the opportunity.

In the second, each team had two power plays, in addition to two minutes of four-on-four time. Townsend scored in the last of those special teams situations at 15:35. Alex Misiak rifled a shot toward the net from the left point; the rebound sprang to Townsend in the opposite circle, and he reversed it between the pipes.

The Hawks also converted their next power play at 1:48 of the third. Compton was deep in the corner, but had room to slip a pass into the slot, where Brendan McMorrow was waiting to snap home a one-timer.

Waterloo held the Steel to six shots or fewer in each period, adding up to a 30-13 advantage in chances. Calvin Vachon earned the win with 12 saves.

The Hawks are back on home ice Saturday night against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. The Dupaco Cowbell Cup game on National Margarita Day will include margarita specials from the Coors Light Cold Zone. Seats are moving quickly and can be ordered from tickets.waterlooblackhawks.com or by calling the Domino's Black Hawks Box Office at (319) 291-7680.
