‘Playing real life’: Loss of UB baseball program has stunned players looking to future
It all started with a text message. The end result was shock, broken hearts, and several young men and women forced to rethink their futures in the midst of something that once seemed so certain. Members of the University at Buffalo baseball, men’s soccer, men’s swimming and diving, and women’s rowing teams were informed last Monday (April 3) that their …
‘Example of work hard’: Benaquist scores first Fed goal in 10-0 WSE win
West Seneca East coach Phil Prynn couldn’t stop talking about Matt Benaquist. The junior forward almost didn’t make WSE’s Fed team this season, but his hard work not only earned him a spot on the roster — it took him right to the top line. “He was on the brink of getting cut at tryouts, and it was a 50/50, …
WEEK 1: Amherst Ale House Weekly Rankings
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.

‘A pretty good recipe’ for Trojan hockey
Last season was “experimental” for West Seneca East to begin with, according to coach Phil Prynn.

But the Trojans grew stronger as the season went on and finished 8-4-2-2 in regular season league play. They defeated …
Trojan Hockey Association gives every player a chance to play
It started with uniforms and socks. But Phil Prynn’s vision for hockey in West Seneca didn’t end there. Last season was Prynn’s first as head coach of the West Seneca East Trojans varsity Fed team after assisting for three years. He started with the appearance of his team, went on to improve the practice structure, and finished the season with …
‘I don’t want to be second’: Radder’s determination carries him to junior hockey
In the wee hours of fall and winter mornings for the last three years, Matt Radder could be found at the West Seneca Town Ice Rink. His team, West Seneca East, started practice at 4:45 am, but Radder, a goalie, would be on the ice even earlier — at least 15 minutes earlier than the rest of his team. “With …
Will East wins first playoff game over WSE

Back-to-back-to-back: Flynn’s third consecutive hat trick caps off WSE win
Danny Flynn is a sophomore, and he already has four hat tricks this season. The latest came Sunday night in a 7-2 win over North Tonawanda, and it completed Flynn’s streak of three hat tricks in three games. Just to cap off the special occasion, Flynn scored four goals on Sunday. “Had a word with my guys to stop passing …
In like Flynn: Brothers key WSE win
West Seneca East coach Phil Prynn described sophomore twin brothers Danny and Damond Flynn as “good little hockey players” at the beginning of the season. What he didn’t expect was for Danny, the forward, to lead the team in points and have two hat tricks to his name 12 games into the season. “It’s been more than I expected,” Prynn …
