Tricks Are A Treat!

Fans of the Pearl River Pirates Squirt A team were treated to three (3) hat tricks in today's contest against the New York Cyclones at the Sky Rink at Chelsea Pier. The lads from Rockland were not in awe of the beautiful facility that juts into the Hudson River at 23rd St in Manhattan. They scored the opening goal in the first minute of play before most of the crowd of 89 were comfortably seated. Our scrappy group of 12 players may have been out manned on the ice but were never out played. The Pirates erased an early 2-1 deficit with a flurry of late first period goals to end the stanza with a comfortable 5-2 lead. Dolan Ocasal and Dillon Krok each netted two as a blue wave seemed to engulf the Cyclone net minder the last 4 minutes of the period. A brace of goals by Kyle Javier sandwiched between Krok's third goal of the game futher established the dominance of the Pirates (8-4 lead) entering the third period. Ocasal and Javier completed their hat tricks and closed out the scoring in what amounted to a solid 10-5 victory. With their record now even at 1 and 1 against two non-league opponents, the Pirates play their home opener next Saturday at Sport-O-Rama.
