The Devils played the Bruins today sunday April 14th in the final game of the Championship series. The lead during the game changed multiple times but when the game was over the Bruins came out on top 6-5. The Devils played a great game and everyone should hold their heads up high for having a great season.

The Third Line of Bobby Freed, Nicholas Cancel, Sage Sapperstein, Anthony Barnao, and Sean Bottallico all played a good game. This line during the season has greatly improved. All the players are now skating and trying to play the puck. In todays game Nicholas cancel scored the teams first goal of the game on an assist from Bobby Freed. Anthony Barnao scored the fist goal of his BMRH carreer later in the game when he banged home a rebound past the Bruins goaltender. keep practicing during the offseason, I can't wait to see how much you all have improved by next season!

The Second Line of Thomas Connors, Keith Keogh, Patrick Lincoln, Daniel Corona and Steve Randazzo played a fantastic series. They limited their opponents to two shots on net during the whole series while scoring 6 goals themselves. This line was solid all season both offensively and defensively. During todays game Thomas Connors had a goal and an assist, Patrick Lincoln had a goal and Daniel Coroana had an assist. Great job by all!!

The First Line of Liam Connors, Justin Cancel, Troy Mc Ardle, Zachary daddino, and Santino Faulkner played this series against what most coaches agree is the deepest and highest scoring first line in the division. The defensive style of hockey that we played kept us in the game today and ensured us a legitimate chance of winning. This line fought to the end and with a little more time may have even tied this game up if given the chance. Liam Connors scored the lines only goal today late in the final period on an assist from Justin Cancel.

The Defensemen for all three line Boby Freed, Sage Saperstein, Steve Randazzo, Daniel Corona, Santino Faulkner, and Zachary daddino should be applauded for their fine play all season and in the playoffs. In a position which is under appreciated these boys all played there without complaining and gave their all in every game.

Finally what can be said about our goalie Noah Wekselblatt! He was one of two actual Freshman age goalie in the division. He made improved so much during the season and during many times he kept us in the game. Today he made one fantastic kick save late in the game that kept in the game. Thanks for all your hard work and great play!

The season is over and I would like to thank all the players for all their hard work both in the games and practices. I would like to thank all the parents for supporting their children and getting to them to all their games and practices even when we had scheduling conflicts. Finally I would like to thank Al Corona for being a such a good and dedicated assistant coach. It makes all the hard work so much easier. I hope to see you all next year. I will do my best in the draft to get you all back, but other coaches have been doing their homework and will try to draft many of you before I get the chance. See you all soon.

Here are some games for the boys to play. It helps all of us to remember that we sometimes need to relax and have fun because this is just a game!
