No Shortage of Pirate Power

"Pop Tom, how about you go back to Florida again before the Lake Placid Tournament" suggested a smiling Dillon Krok upon completion of today's resounding thumping of the Jersey Devils at Sport-o-Rama. Our redoubtable Squirts had just completed a weekend sweep with their (7-1) thrashing of an arch-rival, following their (3-2) defeat of the New Jersey Colonials the previous day. The 'hooter' and Nana Lucy arrived home from their 1290 mile car ride just in time to witness a superior display of unanticipated Pirate Power. Working with a short bench Coach Kern's Bucs made the most of their opportunities. The line of Welch, Javier, and James was on fire accounting for five of the goals. Play-making and passing among the three lads was exceptional as they buzzed the net and cycled in the offensive end. The Devils found no respite against the Pirates only other line of the day as CJ Greco chipped in the other two goals with strong support from line mates Krok and McCavitt. Not to be minimized was the work of the always mobile Ryan McLinskey and steady Liam McCormack on 'D.' These defensive stalwarts were complimented on the backline by regular wingers Luke Myers and Nick Taskalos who defended a near flawless Sammy Coughlin in net. As the Krok family parted ways leaving Sport-o-Rama Dillon shouted, "And make sure you come back to New York the night before the Tournament!" Ray Krok's hand was seen covering Kaylee's mouth as she uttered, "Yeah, Pop Tom, my daddy will pick you up at the Albany airp..."
