Hanover shuffled up their lineup prior to the match against Bishop Brady, and the new trios combined with strong defense and goaltending for a 6-0 victory at Everett Ice Arena in Concord. Gus Lyons led the attack with a pair of goals, with other scores coming from Jonathan Goff, Gavin Ratliff, Peter O'Leary and Kordell Lindsay. Ben Acker earned three assists, and Jin Kim contributed a pair of helpers.
The Marauders got on the board during their first power play opportunity, with Kim and Acker driving to the net before passing back to Goff in the slot for a one timer. Hanover connected again with Acker and Kim leading the charge towards the Brady goal, and Acker sending a blind backhand from behind the net to a wide open Lyons. Ratliff added to the total in the first minute of the second period, knocking in the rebound of an Acker shot from the circle. Hanover upped the lead to 4-0 when O'Leary's wrister from the face off dot went over the tender's shoulder, with some strong work by linemates Lindsay and Jake Acker to keep Brady pinned in their zone. The Marauders finally chased the Bishop Brady netminder on a fine play by Eric McCoy to keep the puck from squirting out, followed by a dipsy doodle and a sweet backhand pass to Lyons for a snipe.
Hanover continued to dominate in the third, with Lindsay making a nice move to the net, and sending the game to running time. The defense of Kim, Ben Chaimberg, McCoy, Patrick Logan, Parker Thurston and Austen Thum were solid throughout the match, and young Ratliff came up big when it was needed.
Hanover have the week off before facing Londonderry (3-2) on Saturday.
