Note From Coach Emery:

 

Canfield Hockey Families and Friends: 

 

     After 10 seasons as a coach with Canfield, 7 as varsity head coach, I am announcing that I will be resigning.  I have had many great memories, learning experiences,  and have developed great friendships through the "greatest sport" in the world.  I encourage all of you to continue to support our program, one that many peoople have put a lot of blood sweat and tears into, including my assistants, Joe Villano, Paul Barnes, Mark Maxwell, Ryan DeJoe, Gerry Emery, Steve Denney, Josh Marrara, and all the other countless players, parents, and friends who have supported not only me, but this fine program we have all built together.  I thank the Ice Zone staff for their support, Mr. Zoldan, Skip Mackall, Terri Fannon, and the many, many employees who have made my job easier.  Thank you to the Canfield High School athletic department, Mr. Greg Cooper, and the best athletic secretary in the world, Nancy Vince.  I appreciate all the support from the Canfield School Board and Superintendent.  Thanks to all who have served our hockey board over the years, probably the most "thankless" job in our program.   Finally and most importantly, I thank my family, my wife Michele, and my children who have all been there for me at the end of many long days!

 

 "If it's worthwhile, it doesn't come easy!"

 

Sincerely, 

 

Coach Randy Emery

VARSITY BEATS AURORA

Senior Night :     Canfield 3  Aurora 2 (OT)

 

(Boardman, Oh) JP Clendenin scored with 5:27 left in overtime, as the Canfield Cardinals skated to a 3-2 victory over Aurora on senior night at the Ice Zone, Wednesday. Danny Drotleff skated behind the net and pushed a pass in front while Clendenin won a battle of bodies to knock the puck in. Canfield (3-13) fell behind 2-0 early in the second period, until Pete Crescimanno put the Cards on the board with 7:12 left in the period. In the third period, Patick Byrne made several key saves to keep the Cards in it, and fittingly, senior Nick Crescimanno skated the length of the ice and wrapped the puck in to tie it with 6:30 left in regulation. Steve Sansoterra picked up an assist in the win and Byrne saved 16 shots. The Cards registered 23 shots on goal. Canfield will take on Mentor Lake Catholic Sunday, February 16, 2p.m. in the Kent sectional tournament. 

  

*Thank you Tom Drotleff for your great video coverage! "YA!"

 

Pre Game Notes: 

Senior captains, TJ Sakkas and Nick Crescimanno will be honored along with their parents Wednesday, as the Cards take on Aurora in the regular season finale for both teams.  The Cards look to avenge a 4-2 loss to the Greenmen in the only other league contest between the teams.  The festivities are set to begin at 5:15p.m. at the Ice Zone in Boardman.

 The Canfield Cardinals fell to the Twinsburg Tigers 5-2 in high school hockey action at the Ice Zone Friday. After trailing 2-0 early in the first period the Cards rallied for two goals in the second period to tie it at 2. TJ Sakkas had a goal and an assist and Danny Drotleff also scored. Nick and Pete Crescimmanno added an assist each for Canfield, now 2-12 on the season. Goalie Patrick Byrne stopped 33 of 38 shots.
