Playing with a full lineup in their usual Sunday night game slot the Junior Varsity Iroquois Chiefs held off solid Grand Island team 3 -1. Despite being outplayed and outshot in the first two periods the JV Chiefs never quit while displaying a mental toughness rarely seen in players of this age. Playing fantastic in the crease tonight was Sophomore Nate Efstation. His solid play in the first and second periods was the spark that the Chiefs needed coming into the third. The shift by shift effort displayed by Dylan Schiffhauer, Jack Patti and Owen Greene was impressive and solid examples of how hockey should be played. Providing the offense was Dylan Giancarlo with two goals and Jake Vitello while defensively, Owen Creighton was tough to beat all night long. If the JV Chiefs continue play every period like they played in tonight’s third winning will never be in question.
