@ Alvirne/Pelham 2/11/15

Hanover can suit up eight bona fide defenders, which has enabled a good many of them to rotate through the forward lines.  The tactic paid off on Wednesday against Pelham-Alvrire, as former blueliners Jin Kim and Parker Thurston tallied to help the Marauders to a 3-1 victory.  Jonathan Goff, with the game winner, also scored as Hanover improved their Division I record to 3-8.

Hanover took an early lead as Kim picked up a loose puck in the offensive zone and snapped home a shot after just fourteen ticks of the clock.  

The Marauders dominated play in the second period and Goff doubled the lead when his shot from between the circles squeezed between the Alvirne goalie's pads.  Hanover appeared to score several other goals, but these were waved off due to goalie interference, quick whistles or equipment malfunctions, 

Hanover took a three goal lead during their only powerplay opportunity of the game.  The Marauders were fortunate to profit from the man advantage, as Alvirne rang a shot off the post on a shorthanded two man breakaway.  On the ensuing play, Benjamin Chaimberg made up for losing the puck in the neutral zone by chasing down the opposing player, and unloading a pass from behind his net to a streaking Thurston at the opposing blueline.  Thurston broke to the goal and snapped a hard shot low stick side to give Hanover a 3-0 lead.

Alvirne converted during a man advantage halfway through the final stanza, but were unable to net another goal.

Hopefully the boys can keep the snow gods at bay and keep the modest winning streak alive - next up is BG at home on Saturday at 6:20
