The game clock said 6:47 when the St. Francis Fed hockey team took a 3-1 lead against Lew-Port.

Not everyone at the rink that night knew the context, but Michalski’s burst …
Canisius’ six sophomores are balanced by a solid core of senior leaders this season, and a hardworking mindset unites them all toward one common goal: a Niagara Cup Championship. “We’re gonna be bit younger compared to years past,” Canisius coach Sam Belsito said. “We are carrying six sophomores. Big in stature, big in heart, good character kids who want to …

Hamburg’s weekend couldn’t have started out any worse. And it couldn’t have ended any better. The Bulldogs played Canisius on Saturday afternoon and Lancaster on Sunday. Both are Division 1 teams, and the Bulldogs hoped to earn a point or two over the weekend. They fell behind early on Saturday to Canisius but came back for a 4-4 tie before …
Canisius did just about everything right on Sunday afternoon. The Crusaders were coming off of a 4-4 tie with Hamburg in which they’d lost a lead, and their problem in a few games this season has been lack of finish. “Yesterday obviously, we started out red hot,” coach Sam Belsito said. “I think we outshot ’em in the first period …
Every game is a challenge for Orchard Park, but the first place Quakers aren’t intimidated; in fact, they embrace that challenge. From goaltender Tom Held, who’s at his best when the games are toughest; to defensemen Ryan Riter and Eric Lyon, who rarely leave the ice; to the forwards who fight for every goal they score, Orchard Park hasn’t just …
Williamsville North picked up its second win of the season Saturday afternoon in a 4-2 victory over Canisius, but the Spartans didn’t feel too comfortable until the very end. Brett Sardina scored a goal and assisted two more, and Daniel Mosher and Rocco Bonaffini each had a goal and an assist, but it was Adam Batz’s empty netter with 44 …
Spectators might remember the 20 penalties in Monday’s game more than the final score. It was characteristic of a rivalry game, but for Canisius and Timon, it was almost expected. The rivalry and history is strong between the two schools. Players on both teams play for their schools and communities as well as just their teammates. “We knew it was …
We’re just over a week into Fed season, and we’ve already had some surprises. These rankings are slightly different from what I might have put if you’d asked me a week ago. But here they are, with Divisions 1 and 2 ranked together, and Divisions 3 and 4 ranked together. Thank you to Amherst Ale House for sponsoring this season’s …
The first comment Orchard Park coach Josh Dannecker had after Monday night’s game was, “Told ya Tommy was good.” Orchard Park goaltender Tom Held stopped 38 shots in a 2-2 tie against Canisius in the first game of the 2016-17 season Monday night at HarborCenter. Dannecker had predicted that the 2015-16 All-Fed goalie would be the team’s biggest strength this …
