A win over North Tonawanda Thursday night (Dec. 29) sent Lewiston-Porter to Friday night’s championship game against host Niagara Falls in the Cataract Hockey Classic. The crowds were ready, the rivalry was there, and the Lancers were hungry for a championship win. Michael Stack started off the scoring 10:09 into the first period, and his cousin Mat Carden scored two …
‘Keep playing our game’: Kenmore West starts season 3-0
Kenmore West coach Rob Roszak boasted about his team’s defense before the season even began. The Blue Devils’ six defensemen have lived up to Roszak’s expectations, allowing three goals in the first game of the season (Dec. 1) against Sweet Home but settling down to allow just one in each of their last two games. And while the defense has …
Stacking up goals: Lew-Port scores six in win over Lockport
Michael Stack is trying something new this season. The Lewiston-Porter assistant captain played defense last year for the Lancers, but this year he’s right up front — on the ice and in the scoring column. “Last year I played defense, and I was alright at it,” Stack said. “My coaches liked how I played. I always thought I played fairly …
Lew-Port: Success reunited
While much of Lewiston-Porter’s roster is new to Fed hockey this season, success is nothing new to them. Two years ago, the majority of this year’s team played JV and went undefeated, 17-0, all the way to a state championship. “It’s pretty the whole entire team from when we went 17-0 and went to states, except for like two kids, …
Kenmore West wins marathon prequarterfinal game over Lew-Port
By now, Friday’s win might finally feel real to Kenmore West. But after three hours and 20 minutes of hockey on Friday night, the players were in shock — and on top of the world. Three hours and 20 minutes. Four 7.5-minute overtime periods. A shootout. The final score after all of that was 2-1, and it was an hour …
Captain scores game winner as Lew-Port wins to take second place
The Division 4 race came right down to the last day of the season with second place and playoff seeding on the line for Lew-Port and Sweet Home.

Regis hat trick locks up Lancers win
Lew-Port had lost its grip on first place on Division 4, and the Lancers hoped that Thursday night’s game against a winless Lockport team would get them back on track. Junior forward Braden Regis was confident that it would. “We thought we were gonna win,” Regis said. Lew-Port came away with a 4-2 win in the end that included a …
Captain scores game winner in Lew-Port rivalry win
The Grand Island-Lewiston-Porter rivalry is one that goes way back, and the latest match up in the saga is one that neither team will soon forget. It seemed fitting that a captain would score the game-winning goal, and on Friday night at Niagara University, it was Lew-Port captain Kurt Magers who scored 28 seconds into overtime to give his team …
Korczynski’s second varsity goal difference in WSE win
Eric Korczynski is a stay-at-home physical defenseman. The six-foot-four senior is an assistant captain for West Seneca East this season, and he came into the season never having scored a varsity goal. His first came last week in a 10-4 win over Lockport, and the jokes came with the goal. “He scored his first varsity goal the other night against …
North Tonawanda and Lew-Port tie in rivalry game
North Tonawanda and Lew-Port had faced each other recently. Last weekend, the Lumberjacks defeated the Lancers in Sunday’s consolation game of the Cataract City Classic. But the Cataract Classic games were meaningless as far as standings go, and it was an earlier game that had NT fired up and wanting to win Sunday’s rematch. “We were more [ticked] off about …
