The Pearl River Pirates opened their home season at Sport O-Rama before a crowd of 63 friends and family members against the Ramapo Saints. A closely contested first period ended in a scoreless tie. During this period, Griffin Welch was denied on a penalty shot. He would not be denied later in the game. The Pirates held their own during the first half of the second period but were undone by three rapid late Saint goals. Faced with a three - zero deficit to overcome, our Pirates gave up an early third period goal to make their task that much more difficult. Enter Griffin Welch who scored twice to make our 6-2 loss respectable. Kudos to Sammy Coughlin for his perseverance in the nets, Coach Kern for his inspiring words in a desparate situation, and to the Pearl River Pirates who never gave up!
