Led by four goals from Greeley's freshman unit, the Quakers defeated the Hendrick Hudson Sailors 5-3 at Brewster on Monday night in the first round of the Section 1 hockey playoffs.

Greeley scored the first two goals and kept the lead throughout the game. Each time Greeley went up by two, Hen Hud would score and keep the pressure on Greeley. Hen Hud was within one for the last 8 minutes of the 3rd period before Greg Krisberg scored on a empty netter for his 2nd goal of the game. Sam Mishkind, Scott Jakubowicz and Captain Sam Spar rounded out the goal scoring.

Greeley's preseason goal of going deep in the playoffs will be put to the test as they face the Section 1 favorite and NY State 5th ranked Pelham Pelicans at the Ice Hutch on Wednesday Feb 22 at 6:00 pm.  Top^^

At Brewster Ice Arena Greeley skated to a 3-1 victory over Fox Lane.

Greeley dominated play throughout, holding Fox Lane to just 14 shots on goal while they were able to put 35 shots on the Fox Lane goaltender. Blake Davis led the team with two goals and the defense continued its outstanding play. Photo gallery.

Greeley continued its ability to control play against weaker teams with a 7-2 victory over Byram Hills on Friday night.

Greeley takes off a week and is back on the ice on Friday, Feb 3 in a rematch at Sport O Rama in Monsey, NY against Pearl River, who defeated Greeley earlier in the season 3-2, and then Shepaug at Brewster at 6:10 pm on Saturday, Feb 4.

With only four more games to go before playoffs, the Greeley team will need to win its games against Pearl River and Ryetown/Harrison if they are to have a high seed when the playoffs begin. The defense led by Owen Gatto, Greg Krisberg, Henry Girardi and Dean Klien as well as a group of strong backchecking forwards have kept opposing players and pucks away from goaltender Neil Hershman. The team will need to score more goals if they are to advance deep in the playoffs next month.  Top^^

Greeley lost three of five games last week beginning with a hard fought battle against Pearl River at Brewster Ice Arena.

After Greeley gave up the first goal of the game, Nick Girardi and Sam Mishkind found the back of the net a few minutes apart and Greeley led 2-1 going into the third period. A scramble in front of goaltender Neil Hershman led to a Pearl River goal halfway through the final period and with less than two minutes to go Pearl River scored again for a 3-2 victory. This was Greeley's third loss of the year, each by one goal.

Next up was undefeated Rye, the fifth ranked team in NY State Division 2.

Rye quickly outskated Greeley to start the game but the Quakers battled and a goal by Sam Spar put Greeley up 1-0 after the first period.

Greeley knew Rye would come out flying in the second period and they did, scoring two quick goals and finishing with three more in the period on way to a 7-1 victory.

Greeley hockey has improved greatly this year but the depth and talent of the Rye team was simply too much.

Greeley followed the Rye loss with a convincing 4-3 victory over Newburgh Free Academy, controlling the play of the game throughout.

In a game that the Quakers expected to win, the busy week ended with Greeley losing with 10 seconds to go in overtime to Mt Pleasant 3-2.

Despite pressure on the Mt Pleasant goaltender, only Blake Davis and Owen Gatto were able to score in another disappointing one-goal loss.

This week Greeley skates at Brewster against Fox Lane on Thursday at 7:55 pm and on Friday Jan 20 vs. Byram Hills.  Top^^

After a strong start at the Thanksgiving tournament, Greeley kept up the exciting play with a 6-1 victory against Nyack/Tappan Zee. The only real disappointment of the season was a 2-2 tie versus Hendrick Hudson as Greeley outshot them 47-17. Greeley rebounded, outscoring Newburgh 3-0 and out shooting them 60-10. Greeley's next opponent was the Bethel-Brookfield-Danbury team. Greeley fought hard but could not hold a 2-0 lead and wound up losing 4-3. Greeley's deep team and aggressive skating style overwhelmed Ossining resulting in a 5-1 victory. Photos from the Ossining game are here. Greeley finished the first half of the year, controlling play and skating away with a 3-0 win over Byram Hills.

Overall, Greeley stands undefeated and tied for 1st place in their conference. Greeley has outscored its opponents 35-16 and out shot its opponents 324-171.

The second half of the season will be the real test as the team faces a much tougher schedule. Upon returning from break, Greeley opens with Nyack/Tappan Zee on Wednesday, January 4 at 5:45 pm at the Palisades Mall and then plays a very strong Pearl River team at Brewster Ice Arena on Friday, January 6 at 7:10 pm, followed by the test of the year on Wednesday, January 11 at 7:45 pm versus Rye at Rye Playland. Greeley will have a very good idea of what will be needed to succeed in the playoffs after these games.  Top^^
 

Greeley skated to an impressive 6-1 victory over Nyack/Tappan Zee.

Senior Aidan Sullivan opened the game with an impressive goal set up with some quick passing by Sophomores Jake Frankel and Micheal Yablon. Freshman Greg Krisberg added two goals, one on a blistering slap shot from the top of the circle, and Freshman Calder Fontaine also found the back of the net twice.

Solid defense and aggressive forechecking prevented Nyack/TZ from putting any real pressure on Goalie Neil Hershman. Greeley's penalty kill unit saw plenty of action as the team took too many penalties, which hurt them against John Jay in their only loss of the season.

Freshmen defensive players Krisberg, Ethan Savitch and Henry Girardi continued their stellar play as did Senior Sam Spar and Juniors Blake Davis and Nick Girardi.

Greeley faces a strong Hendrick Hudson team Friday at 7:10 pm at Brewster Ice Arena. Hen Hud is led by one of the best goalies in the league and we will get a chance to see how good the offensive really is. Greeley players are hoping to have a huge fan turnout in this key game.  Top^^
 

Horace Greeley started the season with a impressive performance at the Brewster Ice Arena Thanksgiving Tournament finishing with two victories after a opening round loss.

In the first game of the year, Greeley lost to John Jay 4-2 after holding a 2-1 lead with 6 minutes to go. The game was played before a huge crowd of 400 plus John Jay students and a very vocal although much smaller group of Greeley fans.

Greeley quickly recovered and defeated Somers/North Salem 6-2 and finished with a 5-2 victory over JFK/Putnam.

In the opening game, goaltender Neil Hershman made 37 saves while Senior Sam Spar and Freshman Scott Jakubowicz scored for Greeley.

Sophomore Michael Yablon opened the second game with a quick goal on a perfect set-up pass from Senior Justin Grossman. Two tallies by Sophomore Owen Gatto and by Freshman Sam Mishkind and a goal by Junior Nick Girardi rounded out the scoring.

The game versus JFK was a solid victory, with Greeley outshooting JFK 41 to 24 and a typical standout defensive effort led by Gatto, Freshmen Greg Krisberg and Nick Girardi and Sophomores Dean Klein and Jacob Sandor. Overall, a very positive weekend for this exciting team.

Greeley next hosts Nyack/Tappan Zee at Brewster Ice Arena on Sunday Dec 4 at 6:20 pm.  Top^^
