Lions, Tigers, and Leopards (Oh My!)

In their 2008 debuts, the three JCWP A league teams each managed to win convincingly.

The Lions handled SLAP 13-7, thanks in part to the stellar passing of substitute goaltender Brett Gleason. Patrick Maloney scored several impressive goals, including a quick sweep shot off a slick pass from John Lewis, and Jack Meara pounded the ball near side low for a couple counterattack tallies.

The Tigers led Mad Dog only 7-5 at half but regrouped to dominate the third and fourth quarters and win going away 16-6. As expected, Parker Finlinson and Kyle Schnoring led the charge offensively, and Patrick Wall and Rob Golterman contributed several strong shots. Nathan Schachtman was the surprise of the game as a willing and competent deep end goalie.

The Leopards controlled Daisy throughout, ultimately winning 10-6. Steve Sigman found his groove on counterattacks in the second half, and Dan Goeddel and Danny Faust played enough defense to shut down Daisy's shallow-end specialists.
