It was Senior Day for Christian Brothers Academy's hockey team today at the Albany County Hockey Training Facility in Colonie, and there was no way they'd let LaSalle spoil the day, so it would seem.
Reid Murray opened the scoring for LaSalle in the 1st period, but it was all Brothers after that, as Caleb Ellis, like Leo Paul on Friday, saw a steady stream of shots from the hosts, and gave up five unanswered goals. Jack Murphy tied it and started the parade in the 1st period, followed by Ryan McMahon & Luke Pezzulo. Cameron James and Greg Builliard added insurance goals in the 3rd period, as CBA completed the sweep, 5-1.
How do we have all the stats for this game? Simple. CBA may be the only Section II school that actually has a play-by-play announcer.....
Props to CBA for a professional production. The Brothers finish 5-1 in the CDHSHL South division, as LaSalle falls to 4-4 in the division, and 4-6 overall. LaSalle has dropped three straight, and that's not a good thing to have when your next game is in the Delvecchio Cup quarterfinals vs. Saratoga. CBA will host Burnt Hills in the quarters.

The colleges that passed on football in the fall have started their seasons.
UAlbany opened on the road and came from behind to beat New Hampshire, 24-20. However, former Troy star Dev Holmes is off the team for the 2nd time, due to what was first reported as a violation of team rules, but Holmes himself shed some light on that when he said he had an argument with offensive coordinator Joe Davis, and that led to his dismissal.
Freshman Joe Tortello (Holy Trinity) is a backup to starting quarterback Jeff Undercuffler. Redshirt sophomore Joe Casale (Troy) is a linebacker & kick returner.
======================================
Speaking of football, Section II begins its season on March 19. Here are Troy & LaSalle's schedules:

March 26: Troy's home opener vs. Amsterdam. Columbia @ LaSalle.
April 2: LaSalle @ Amsterdam. Averill Park @ Troy.
April 9: Columbia @ Troy. Albany @ LaSalle.
