Tuesday night 9/22 Sr. League Dolphins Vs. Eagles
The Dolphins and Eagles met up as each team was playing their second game of the young season. The Dolphins, coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over the Giants, were looking to go 2-0, while the Eagles, led by assistant coach Akiva Levy, were hoping to notch their first “W” of the year.
The 1st period featured just one goal as Daniel Raykher (8th grade Yavneh) scored on a nice pass from Shua Beilin (6th grade Moriah) giving the Dolphins a 1-0 lead. The period ended with just that one goal scored, and the game looked like it would be a low scoring affair.
However, the Dolphins jumped all over the Eagles early in the 2nd as they scored three straight goals. Akiva Gottlieb (8th Yavneh) scored twice and Isaac Altman (8th grade Noam) put one in, with Yair Knoller (6th grade Noam) assisting on two of the goals. With the Dolphins holding a rather comfortable 4-0 lead, the Eagles needed a spark to get them going, to try and not let the game fall out of reach. Finally, with 12 seconds left in the period, Jono Wietschner (8th grade Yavneh) scored to cut the lead to 4-1.
The 3rd period started and the Eagles were desperately trying to cut the lead down to two, but Akiva Gottlieb netted his 3rd of the game halfway through the 3rd. Akiva’s goal completed the first hat trick of the season and gave his team a 3 goal lead. However, the Eagles would not go down without a fight. Trying to mount a comeback, Jessie Arbisfeld (7th grade Moriah) ripped a shot off of the post that Jacob Bach (7th grade Yavneh) tapped home to cut the lead to 5-2, but all hopes of a comeback were dashed when just 20 seconds later Isaac Altman scored his 2nd of the night to end the scoring and give the Dolphins a 6-2 victory.

Tuesday Night 9/22 Sr. League Giants vs. Jets
The Jets & Giants squared off not far from the Meadowlands last night. The Jets looked confident as they were eager to begin their season 2-0. However, the Giants were certainly determined not to start the season with a second straight loss and force the coaching staff to answer some questions.
The Jets struck first as Andrew Teigman (6th grade Moriah) stole the puck and nailed the top corner for a 1-0 lead after 1. The giants struck back in the 2nd period to take the lead 2-1 on goals by Tzvi Bessler (7th grade Yavneh) and Jason Levine (8th grade Moriah). The buzzer sounded signaling the end of the 2nd period, and the Giants were clinging to a 2-1 lead.
Matt Reinhart (6th grade Yavneh) did his best to keep the Jets close but with 7 minutes left Rafi Wind (8th grade Noam) won a face-off back to Eitan Rolnick (8th grade Moriah) who ripped a shot top corner for the 3-1 lead. While the Giants seemed to think that the lead was safe, the Jets did not agree. With 6:15 Ami Rosenfeld (7th grade Moriah) scored to cut the lead to one and with a mere 2:40 remaining on the clock Ami Rosenfeld scored yet again to tie the game at 3. With the intensity on a playoff level, each team was giving its all to take the lead. With 1:12 left Jason Levine made beautiful moves to deceive the Jet defenders and tucked in the winner as the Giants defeated the Jets by the score of 4-3.

Tuesday night 9/15 Sr. League Dolphins Vs. Giants
Opening up the 2009 Tabc Jr Hockey season, the Dolphins and Giants both looked to start their seasons on the right foot. With this thought in mind both teams came out flying with no thoughts of defeat. Early on, Giant’s goalie Jack Ganchrow (8th grade Noam) and Dolphins’s goalie Rami Levine (7th grade Noam) did not allow the pressure to get to them, making save after save and showing this game would remain low scoring and be a real goaltending battle. Levine, a last minute addition to the Dolphins, was clearly trying to send a message to Ganchrow that he would not just hand him the Noam starting goalie job on a silver platter.
Midway through the first period though, Elisha Penn (8th grade Yavneh) felt otherwise as he put one in to give the Dolphins a 1-0 lead going into the 2nd period. Early in the second period Defenseman Akiva Gottlieb (8th grade Yavneh) joined the scorekeepers sheet giving the Dolphins a comfortable 2-0 lead. Tzvi Bessler (7th grade Yavneh) and Jason Levine (8th grade Moriah) kept putting pressure on the the Dolphins defense and goalie, but Rami Levine would not budge. Finally, late in the second period Tzvi Bessler slipped one through to put the Giants on the board and cut the lead in half. Jack Ganchrow refused to give the Dolphins a comfortable lead making huge saves on all the opportunities by Issac Altman (8th grade Noam) and Alex Gross (6th grade Moriah) and keeping the score at 2-1 to end the 2nd period.
The third period was full of non stop action with a back and forth pace. Looking to tie the score, the Giants threw everything towards the net putting tremendous pressure on Levine. The Dolphins, however played stellar defense sending everything out of the zone putting pressure on Ganchrow and the Giant defense. Coaches Jeremy Levart and the Eitan Zecher/ Jon Packer tandem continued to make smart changes matching up their players hoping for that one play but neither team would budge. As the time continued to slip away the intensity continued to rise. With four minutes to go, down by one the Giants offense flew down the court on a 2 on 1 creating a tremendous opportunity to tie the score. With an open net, the Giants offense shot wide and just missed the net losing out on a huge opportunity to tie the score. This proved to be the climactic point of the game as Levine and the Dolphins defense refused to let anything get through. The Giants pulled their goalie with one minute left hoping the extra player would give them the help they needed but it proved not to help. Akiva Gottlieb scored an empty net goal with three seconds left to seal the game as the dolphins defeated the giants 3-1.

Tuesday night 9/15: Sr. League Jets vs Eagles
Avi Hirt, sports writer
In a game featuring two teams with championship aspirations, the Eagles opened up their season against the Jets. The Eagles, coached by Avi Hirt and rookie assistant coach Gabi Stone, looked to get Gabi his first career “W”.
The Jet’s season did not look like it was going to start well as they were forced to begin the game without their goalie. In what could have been an absolute disaster, they shockingly survived. Coach Ari Miller, telling his team not to panic, told Shimon Cohen, (8th grade Yavneh) to stand in the net and “do your best”. Cohen stood on his head in net; making some tremendous saves all without any pads. At the six minute mark, Jet goalie, Matt Reinhart (6th grade Yavneh), stepped in net, to lead a team brimming with confidence that they did not let up a goalie during that span. The first period ended scoreless as both Matt Reinhart and Eagle goalie Mikey “Turbo” Pollack (7th grade Yavneh) were stellar in net.
Early in the second period both teams began to pick up their play. Just minutes in, Eagle Defensemen Michael Rubin (7th grade Moriah) made a beautiful pass from the point to Jono Wietschner (8th grade Yavneh) who spun and shot. The puck just managed to trickle through the legs of Matt Reinhart for the first goal of the season for either team. The score remained 1-0 just for a few brief minutes until Jet player Shimon Cohen roofed a wrist shot from the point past Pollack. With the momentum in their favor, Ami Rosenfeld (7th grade Moriah) of the Jets ripped a shot past Pollack, giving the Jets the 2-1 advantage. The second period would end with the Jets leading 2-1.
With Reinhart playing so well, the Eagles knew that if they were going to score their offense would need to supply more pressure on net. Early in the 3rd, Shmuel Levy(8th grade Yavneh) and Adam Burbank (7th grade Yavneh) of the Eagles did just that, creating opportunities and getting some quality shots on net. However, it was going to take something incredible to get one past Reinhart this evening. With four minutes remaining in the third and the Jets clinging to a 2-1 lead, Weitschner got the puck, made a move, and came streaking down the court with a breakaway. Reinhart once again made a beautiful save, preserving the lead for his team. All of the jet defensemen played solidly until the buzzer to hold on for a 2-1 victory.
