Sunday, January 22nd, VFC vs. Glaciers

Zak sat out of this game because he was still having pretty serious pain in his shoulder.  His teammates played a great game.  We scored first, then the scoring went back and forth throughout the game, and ended with our team on top...they pulled out a 5-4 league win!

Saturday, January 21st, VFC vs. Cap City Vipers

This team is 5th in our division, so when we were leading the game 2-0 midway through the 1st period the spirits were high.  However, we soon started losing the grasp on that lead.  Late in the 1st period the game was tied.  Then a fellow defenseman went out of the game with an injured knee.  Shortly after that, Zak took a hit that crashed him into the boards shoulder first and he immediately headed to the bench...you could see the pain on his face from the stands.  By the start of the 3rd period we were losing 5-2.  About midway through the 3rd we scored and brought the game to 5-3.  Zak rejoined the game shortly after that and had a few great last shifts, including a beautiful breakaway that the goalie stopped (stupid goalies).  All in all, we ended up losing the game 6-3, but it was a hard fought battle and we gave a much higher ranked team a run for their money.

Friday, January 20th, PJPII vs. Harriton

This was the third and final time we had played the Harriton Rams.  Both previous games they had beat us by one goal: 4-3 and 3-2.  Well last night our boys finally came together and played like we always knew they were capable of and beat the Rams 6-2!  Way to go PJPII Panthers!!!

Sunday, January 15th, VFC vs. Haverford Hawks

This was an extremely early game...7:45am, yuck!  But it ended up being worth the early wake up call as we won the game 4-3.  Again, Zak was a wrecking machine today and ended up finding himself in the penalty box 4 times!

Saturday, January 14th, VFC vs. New Jersey Freeze

Today's game was a very good, competitive game.  Scoring went back and forth throughout the game, it was tied 5-5 halfway thru the second period and stayed there until just 6 minutes left in the game when the Freeze scored making it 6-5, and they held on for the win.  Zak had a great game, though, and was like a one-man wrecking machine out there. :-)

Friday, January 13th, PJP vs Upper Darby

Tonight's game was a tough one.  Our bench was short 2 players to start and then another went out shortly after the game started.  They held their own in the first period, ending 3-2, but the next 2 periods did not go nearly as well.  With just a couple minutes left in the game, they were down 8-2, but then Zak got a goal from the blue line, ending in an 8-3 loss.  Zak got a goal on his birthday so it was a small success for him!

Sunday, January 8th, VFC vs. Grundy Senators

Today's game was a tough one, a 7-2 loss, but Zak played hard and stayed tough the whole game.

Saturday, January 7th, VFC vs. Blazers

The boys played smart and hard today and secured a big win, 4-3, moving them up in the League standings.  Zak scored the game winning goal...a slapshot from the blueline!

Friday, January 6th, PJPII vs. Plymouth-Whitemarsh

The boys played a great game, stayed motivated, and won 5-3 against the 2nd place team in their division.

Thursday, January 5th, PJPII vs. Harriton
