In the first all-star matchup of the day, the Division III all-stars defeated the B all-stars by a score of 8-6.  CJ Gilcrist (Cortland) took home the MVP honors by scoring five goals and adding an assist.  Goaltenders Lou Vetri (Cortland) and Christopher Galante (Oswego) played well, holding the potent B all-stars offense to six goals.  Teammates Bobby Koob and Justin Dickel (West Chester) each had a pair of goals and an assist to spark the B all-stars, but it was not enough, as the Division III all-stars rode a five goal second period to secure the victory.

DII All-Stars Light vs. DII All-Stars Dark

Pittsburgh goaltender Dan Cordle’s overtime shootout goal propelled the dark all-stars to a 6-5 victory over the light all-stars.  In a bizarre twist, Cordle was selected as the third shooter for the dark all-stars, and summarily went down and scored on Max Sparr (UMass).  After the goal, it was business as usual for Cordle, as he stopped Northeastern goaltender John Harris to secure the victory.  Justin Barie (Slippery Rock) led the way for the dark all-stars with two goals in regulation, while Andrew Hanlon (Boston) scored two goals for the light all-stars.  Light all-star goaltenders Joshua Krantz (Queens) and John Harris (Northeastern) played extremely well, each only allowing a goal in the period they played, staking the light all-stars to a 4-2 lead after two. Justin Kozak (Delaware) started the scoring in the third for the dark all-stars, converting a penalty shot against Sparr.  Barie’s second goal of the game on a nice feed from rival Carlin Crombie (Pittsburgh) tied the game at 4.  Tyler Leary (Shippensburg) gave the dark all-stars a brief lead with 5:47 left in the third, but Matthew Toy (Northeastern) answered back a minute and a half later to tie the score at five, which set the stage for Cordle to work his shootout magic.

DI All-Stars Light vs. DI All-Stars Dark

Jonathan Lucente’s (West Chester) three goals and four assists propelled the dark all-stars to a 16-3 victory in what would be the most lopsided all-star game in recent ECRHA memory.  Anthony Ehinger (Neumann) paced the dark all-stars attack with two goals and three assists, while Mike Seyglinski (Towson) posted four goals and three assists. Dark all-stars goaltenders Mike Maczynski (Neumann), Mitchell Reinhold (Penn State), and Roman Chiokadze (West Chester) each played a strong period of hockey, limiting the light all-stars to just three goals.  John Kaszubski (Stony Brook) and Pat Rosa (Hofstra) led the light all-stars attack with a goal and an assist, but it was not enough to overcome the onslaught of offense from the dark all-stars.
