February 23,2012 @ Hanger #5 Brooklyn, New York


FIRST PERIOD action saw the Brooklyn Aviators shoot the puck past #79G A.Vincent three times in this period. It's hard to believe that this was the same #79G A.Vincent who played in the last two games as goalie for Akwesasne and held us down to only a few goals.The Warriors took the two matches on their home ice.

Number two was put in the net by Aviator #2RW M.Thomson with help from #23RW A.Scampoli & #7C C.Campanale, this was at the 7:22 mark.

The third Aviators score came at the 2:45 mark by #12C M.Atsoff with assists by #7C C.Campanale & #2RW M.Thomson. The fans were feeling as if the curse that was on the A's was going to get lifted and a flood of way overdue scores collected tonight at the Warriors expense. There was only one penalty in the first period and it was awarded to Brooklyn.The score was 3-0 A's at the end of the first.

SECOND PERIOD found Brooklyn striking again with only 33 seconds off the clock, #14C J.Dabkowski hit the back of  the net with help from #12C M.Atsoff  & #17D K.Trentowski. This made the score 4-0 Brooklyn. Once again Brooklyn hit goal at the 14:02 mark of the match. #2RW M.Thomson for his second score of the night, with help from #12C M.Atsoff and #23RW A.Scampoli. This made the match 4-0 in favor of Brooklyn. 

The Warriors made their one and only score of the game with 6:39 left in the second period. #14LW M.Beaulne beat A's netminder with assistance from #26RW P.Dagenais & #8D K.McCarthy. This made the match 5-1 Brooklyn at the end of the second period.

THIRD PERIOD and the Aviator fans wanted more goals for sweet revenge for their two loses up at Akwesasne last weekend. Brooklyn's #9RW N.Petriello scored at the 12:53 mark with an assist fro #23RW A.Scampoli. The match was now 6-1 in favor of the A's.

#18C J.Dolgy made his second score of the night with aid from #20C J.Felten and #9RW N.Petriello with 3:17 left in the game. This made the score 7-1 Brooklyn and that is how the match ended. #31G M.DiLorenzo played goalie for Brooklyn, great job Mike.
