In a highly anticipated battle that has waged for over 30 years.

IT WAS GAME NIGHT

LINDBERGH vs. VIANNEY.

The game started with a feeling out period for both teams with heavy hitting and puck play by the Vianney Griffin team. The first goal saw Vianney get on the board with a wheel play from the corner @ 7:01 beating Andrew Yocum high bar for the first goal. Shortly after Vianney added a second goal on a shot from the point that pinballed through 5 players and squeaked into the net @ 5:35 of the period.   Lindbergh would not stay silent for long and @ 4:06 of the period Mason Budde roofed a shot over the Vianney goalie from the point. Assist to Behrens.

The second period started with a 3rd goal (12:13)  from Vianney on another wheel play out of the corner and Goal #2 on the night by Gaither. Lindbergh chose to slow down the game a bit and changed goalies bringing in Junior Drew Moseley. On his first shot and hampered by some indecision on D the puck rolled up his pad into the net @ 11:07 for Vianney and a 4-1 lead. This would be the last goal of the game for Vianney as Moseley found his pace and stopped the next 16 shots over the last 2 periods. 

At the beginning of the 3rd period the Flyers seemed to gain some confidence and began working the puck in the offensive zone and a back door pass lead to a goal @ 13:35 by Brian Wagner, Assisted by Kersting/M.Fischer. Roughly 5 minutes later @ 7:23 of the 3rd period the Flyers  started getting some bounces and a shot from the point beat the Vianney Goalie after pinballing in the crease. GOAL - Kersting. Unassisted. 

The Flyers team put on a big push and had a number of chances to even the score at the end before coming up one goal short against the Vianney Griffins. 

The next Varsity game is this coming Friday @ Affton 10:05pm v.s Rockwood Summit. Come out and support your Lindbergh Flyers. 

In a highly anticipated JV schedule the Lindbergh Flyers went up against SLUH, a known powerhouse in Saint Louis and defending State Champions 2 years in a row at the Varsity level.

The game began @ 10pm on the ice at  Affton Hockey Rink and after a scoreless first period the Flyers were able to get on the board @ 9:11 of the period  with a goal from Connor Morris, with assist going to Whitener/Blessing.  By the end of the period SLUH would even the score with a shot that just sneaked past Grant Kennedy in net. 

As the teams settled into the 3rd period and a few penalties giving SLUH a chance to go ahead, the Flyers potted another puck in the basket @ 6:13 of the 3rd period by Grant Blessing, Assisted by Simpson. And before the end of the period Alex Ringhofer snapped a puck past the SLUH goalie @:31 seconds left in the game. Assisted by Blessing/Whitener..
