The Wildcats have reached the MLK weekend with a record of 14-4-3 which is good for a #4 ranking in Myhockeyrankings and a #5 ranking in MaxPreps.
Recently the Cats took home a championship win at the Gilmour Academy Brother James Holiday tournament, winning the Championship game with an impressive 6-0 win over Orchard Park NY. Overall team defense and goaltending have been the keys for the successful start. Through 21 Games the Cats have yielded just 39 goals or 1.85 goals against per game. Junior goaltending tandem Parker Palcisko and Gavin Smith have split the workload and sport nearly identical goals against averages around 1.8/GM and impressive save percentages at over 93% each.
Offensively the Cats lost a lot off last years team and have looked for depth scoring. Senior forwards Jack Nowak, Wyatt Spence and Kolten Omey have paced the offense with over a point per game, while Senior defenseman Boston Kopke leads the Defenseman with 15 points.
This weekend the Cats will return to Tamo for the 1st time since December 13th as they play in the Mark Rasmus Invitational. Friday they face off with defending state Champs Upper Arlington, Saturday they play 2 games vs Dublin Jerome and Cincinnati Moeller before finishing the weekend with a seeding game on Sunday.
JV has been up and down with a 8-7-2 overall record. A mix of solid performances and some inconsistent play have show through some impressive wins and hard fought losses. Unfortunately some other games have led to some lackluster wins and disappointing losses. Strong team defense and goaltending has also been a stable with the JV as they have only given up 44 goals in 17 games 2.58/GM. Sophomore Blake Borth and Freshman Joey Johnson Pace the JV Cats in scoring.
