Chiefs End Regular Season With Win Against Lancaster
The Iroquois Chiefs Boys Hockey team finished the regular season on Sunday night with a 5-4 win against Lancaster.
Chief’s defenseman Andrew Wilson set the tone with strong physical play in the first minutes of the first period. Iroquois gave up the lead three times in a jam-packed first period, but answered each time with goals by Aiden Abraszek (assisted by Steven Kaufmann), Steven Kaufmann (assisted by Aiden Abraszek), and A.J. Takac (with the assist by Andrew Wilson).
Heading into the second period, solid offensive performances were shown by Pat Stenzel and Jonathan Lavis, their efforts leading to two Chief goals. The first of two second period goals was shot by Steven Kaufmann (assisted by Ryan Marshall and Aiden Abraszek), and the other, an unassisted goal by A.J. Takac (his second of the night). Stenzel, Lavis and Danny Taggert each created opportunities throughout the period. The score was 5-3 at the end of the second.
The Chiefs had a strong defensive third period, maintaining the lead until the last minute of the game, when Lancaster added one more to the board. That would not be enough, as Iroquois secured the win against Lancaster 5-4.
The Chiefs begin playoffs this week.
