‘Part of who I am’: Gademske’s love for lacrosse leads to college commitment
Matt Gademske was at his cousin’s house one day when he discovered a couple lacrosse sticks in a bin full of sports equipment in the garage. The 8-year-old had no prior experience with the sport, but he took the sticks with him and never looked back. “I just picked them up one day and I went out front,” Gademske explained. …
Strong finish gives Sweet Home win over NT
Sweet Home hasn’t started its season the way many expected, and Thursday night’s game didn’t start out as strong as the Panthers would have liked, either. Fortunately for the Panthers, they played stronger at the end of Thursday’s game. Junior defenseman Pat Derisley had three points and freshman Ryan Corrigan scored his first Fed goal as Sweet Home defeated North …
‘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.

Gademske, Czyz look to finish strong with deep Sweet Home team
Last year, Sweet Home was a young team but boasted of experience with a group of sophomores and juniors that had already played a year or two of varsity hockey. The Panthers doubled their win total from six to 12 (8-7-1-0 in league play last season). The season ended with a disappointing loss to Williamsville South in prequarterfinals, but the …
In a ‘sporty family,’ youngest Torrillo gets chance to shine
It’s Joseph Torrillo’s turn. He’s watched his two older brothers, Mike and Kevin, as each played quarterback at Sweet Home High School, and now, as a junior, Joseph is in the midst of his first season at quarterback. Kevin Torrillo graduated in 2015 and was a leader not only on the football field but also on the ice. He was …
‘Richeal Rough’: Sweet Home senior honors father with memorable hockey season
DJ Richeal had never before experienced what it was like to play for his high school hockey team, an experience that many players would say gave them another family. Richeal began playing House League hockey at age 6, but this season, his senior year, Richeal needed that family bond more than ever. Richeal lost his father to stage IV lung …
Will South junior’s first Fed goal difference in playoff win
Brady Homberger’s hard work often goes unnoticed. The Williamsville South junior defenseman’s first varsity goal on Thursday night changed that. His goal gave the Billies a 1-0 lead just over a minute into the first period of their prequarterfinal game against Sweet Home, and with Michael Woods’ lights-out performance in net and three more goals from the Billies’ top line, …
Captain scores game winner as Lew-Port wins to take second place
