Sujir Leads the Charge as Positive Image Dental Dominate
|
Positive Image Dental have established themselves as the team to beat as the Bermuda Ball Hockey Winter League enters the decisive second half of the season. The league leaders currently sit atop the division standings with 28 points, holding a significant cushion over their nearest rivals, Alexandra Mosher, who occupy second place with 19 points. Hamilton Princess remain firmly in the hunt for a podium finish, trailing just one point behind in third with 18.
The individual leaderboards are currently being redefined by the exceptional form of Louis Sujir. Representing the table-topping Positive Image Dental, Sujir has emerged as the league's most potent offensive threat, leading three major statistical categories. He currently tops the points standings with a remarkable tally of 37, well clear of Shane Matchett of ACT and Mathew Benson of Hamilton Princess, who are tied for second with 26 points apiece.
Sujir's dominance is further highlighted in the race for the Golden Stick. He leads the goalscoring charts with 18 goals, narrowly ahead of Hamilton Princess standout JM Tremblay, who has found the back of the net 17 times. Dallas Montgomery of CG and Mathew Benson round out the top tier of finishers, both currently sitting on 12 goals for the campaign.
The playmaking department also features Sujir at the summit, where he has recorded 19 assists to date. His vision on the rink is being challenged by Shane Matchett and Ronnie Dzurus, both of whom have provided 15 assists for their respective teams. This distribution from the top has been vital in maintaining the high-scoring nature of the winter league fixtures.
Between the pipes, the battle for goalkeeping supremacy is a tightly contested affair. Derrick Holmes of CG currently leads the league with an impressive 3.21 goals-against average, proving to be a formidable barrier for opposing attackers. He is closely followed by Jason Riggnas of ACT, who maintains a 3.50 average, while Dave MacPhee of Alexandra Mosher holds the third spot among the league's elite netminders with a 3.91 average.

Estey Hat-Trick steers CG to Victory at the PCC Rink
|
CG 5 ACT 3
The Bermuda Ball Hockey Winter League continued its high-octane start to the new year as CG secured a hard-fought 5-3 victory over ACT at the PCC Hockey Rink. In a match that showcased the league's trademark offensive flair, a total of eight goals kept the local crowd engaged throughout a contest defined by momentum shifts and clinical finishing.
Jeremy Estey was the undisputed star of the evening, delivering a masterclass in goal-scoring to propel his side toward the three points. Estey opened the scoring in the first period, and while ACT briefly leveled the score through Noah Vieira, the CG talisman struck again before the interval to ensure his team held the advantage. His ability to find space in high-traffic areas proved to be the decisive factor in an opening frame where both sides looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
The second period saw CG tighten their grip on the fixture. Estey completed his hat-trick with another sharp finish, further cementing his reputation as one of the league's most lethal forwards. Andrew Leavy added a fourth for CG later in the period, providing the cushion they would eventually need as ACT refused to concede the result without a fight.
ACT mounted a spirited comeback in the final period, attempting to overturn a three-goal deficit. Townie Jackson and Shane Matchett both found the back of the net in quick succession to bring the score within reach, but Nathan Kowalski’s strike for CG proved to be the final blow. The victory moves CG closer to the mid-table pack, while ACT will be left to rue a slow start in the second period that ultimately left them with too much ground to make up.

Alexandra Mosher Dominant Shutout at PCC Rink
|
BDA Spirits 0 Alexandra Mosher 8
In a day that saw the Bermuda Ball Hockey Winter League resume its relentless pace, Alexandra Mosher produced one of the most clinical performances of the season at the PCC Hockey Rink. In what was the lone fixture of the day, Mosher delivered a masterclass in offensive efficiency and defensive discipline, securing a commanding eight-nil shutout over a struggling BDA Spirits side.
The tone for the match was set early in the opening period. Alexandra Mosher wasted little time asserting their dominance, with Ronnie Dzurus finding the back of the net to break the deadlock. The pressure remained relentless, and the lead was doubled shortly after when Adam Mattatall showcased his finishing ability to put Mosher firmly in control before the first interval.
Bonaire’s defensive lines were tested further in the second period as Mattatall continued to be a thorn in the Spirits' side. The forward added two more strikes to his personal tally, effectively ending the game as a contest before the final frame had even begun. His ability to find space in the slot proved the difference-maker, leaving the Spirits' goaltender with little protection against a barrage of high-quality chances.
The final period saw the floodgates open completely as Mosher’s depth began to tell. Akhil Kapur added his name to the scoresheet to make it five, before Matt Mcphail took center stage. In a frantic closing sequence, Mcphail recorded a superb hat-trick, scoring three unanswered goals to polish off a historic scoreline. The result not only highlights Mosher's title credentials but also provides a significant boost to their goal difference as they continue to chase league leaders Positive Image Dental at the summit of the standings.

Nittany Lions Stage Comeback on Montgomery’s Badgers
|
Blake Montgomery and his No. 5 Wisconsin teammates were left frustrated at the Kohl Center as a late third-period surge saw the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions secure a 3-1 victory and a weekend sweep.
The Badgers had looked poised to salvage a result from the series after a disciplined defensive display in the opening two frames. Wisconsin took the lead 6:50 into the first period in spectacular fashion while shorthanded. Tyson Dyck pounced on a turnover and threaded a clinical pass to Christian Fitzgerald, who broke clear of the defence and slotted the puck through the five-hole of Penn State goaltender Kevin Reidler.
Montgomery, a freshman standout and Ottawa Senators prospect, was at the heart of Wisconsin's efforts to double their advantage. The Bermudian was denied twice by Reidler in high-stakes moments—first on a sharp chance late in the second period and again in the third after gloving down a pass from Oliver Tulk for a clear look at goal.
Despite outshooting their opponents 41-33, the hosts could not find the insurance goal they desperately needed. Penn State eventually found their breakthrough 4:54 into the final period when JJ Wiebusch fired home to level the scores. The momentum shifted firmly toward the visitors at 13:08 as Reese Laubach reacted quickest to a rebound to give the Nittany Lions their first lead of the night.
Wisconsin pulled their goaltender in the final minutes in a frantic search for an equalizer, but the gamble failed to pay off. Gavin McKenna intercepted a clearance and fired into the empty net from distance at 19:07 to confirm the sweep for the Nittany Lions.

High-Scoring Double-Header Lights up PCC Hockey Rink
|
The Bermuda Ball Hockey Winter League season continued in emphatic style at the PCC Hockey Rink, where a frantic double-header produced thirteen goals on the night.
CG 0 Positive Image Dental 3
League leaders Positive Image Dental solidified their position at the summit with a clinical 3-0 shutout of CG. Following a cagey opening period that saw neither side find the net, the frontrunners seized control in the second frame through Chris Allington, whose breakthrough goal broke the deadlock.
The Dental team pulled away in a dominant final period, with Kyle Harvey and Brett Williamson both finding the net to ensure a comfortable three-point haul. The result keeps Positive Image Dental firmly at the top of the standings as they continue their pursuit of the winter crown.
Hamilton Princess 4 Spine & Sport 6
The evening’s second fixture proved to be a high-octane affair as Spine & Sport edged out Hamilton Princess 6-4 in a rollercoaster contest.
Spine & Sport ignited the match in a four-goal opening period, racing into an early lead with strikes from Curran Trenouth, Christopher Merritt, and Kris Abramowski. Hamilton Princess showed their resilience through Kyle Hankins, who pulled a goal back, but Trenouth’s second of the night ensured Spine & Sport maintained their momentum.
The contest shifted in the second period as Hamilton Princess staged a gritty comeback. Goals from Jean-Michael Tremblay and Mathew Benson brought the Princess within touching distance, setting the stage for a high-stakes final period.
However, Spine & Sport repelled the late onslaught. Rob Rego and Merritt both struck in the final frame to put the game beyond reach, despite a second goal from Tremblay for the Princess. The victory provides a vital boost for Spine & Sport as they look to close the gap on the top three in the new year.
