BREWSTER, N.Y. - BYSNS (Brewster/Yorktown/Somers/North Salem) won its season opener against visiting Pearl River 11-2 at the Brewster Ice Arena on Dec. 1.
“It felt great to win my first game as head coach alongside this team and my assistant coach, Paul Murphy,” said Coach Ryan Langkafel, who was previously a Bisons’ assistant coach the previous two seasons.
BYSNS got the jump on the visitors 9-0 when it exploded for nine first-period goals versus the Pirates.
“We were preparing all week for Game 1 and didn’t know what to expect from the other team, so we brought the energy, and intensity we’ve been building in practice,” Langkafel said.
Defensively, the Bisons were effective as well, shutting out Pearl River for the first two periods of the game.
“Defense has been a big focus of ours to start the year, coach Murphy does a great job working with them,” Langkafel said. “The d-pairs are mature and familiar with each other, they take pride in protecting our goalie and our net, especially when we have a lead.”
Lucas Salvatore (3G, 3A), AJ Jones (2G, 2A), Michael Bonelli (2G, 1A), James Munoz (2G, 1A), Henry Rossi (1G), Jordan Millar (1A), Danny Luis (1G), Kaden Krempler (1A), Jake Lukse (1A), Sam Cucinell (1A), Ryan Dean (1A), and Patrick Vaughn (11 saves) all contributed to the victory.
The Bisons’ next game is on the road at 8:35 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 against Mount Pleasant, at the Westchester Skating Academy.
