BY: Casey Bryant, Danbury Hat Tricks DANBURY, CT - How ironic that a Matt Robertson goal in overtime would secure him a hat trick and put the dagger for the second consecutive night to the Danbury Hat Tricks to the visiting Port Huron Prowlers, in a 4-3 loss before 881 at the Danbury Ice Arena on Saturday. It must have seemed like deja vu for the Hat Tricks as they had in their opener the night before, they once again sprung to an early lead as defender Steve Mele made a marvelous move from the point, maneuvered his way along the perimeter to the goal line and roofed a wrister past Chris Paulin just 2:28 into the contest. The score stayed that way until with just fifty seconds remaining in the period The Prowlers answered, as Robertson scored the first of what would be three goals on the night. In the second period, both teams struggled to stay out of the penalty box as both were hit with a myriad of penalties allowing them to trade powerplay goals. Port Huron's Austin Fetterly buried a shot from between the hash-marks at 9:06, only to be countered by a net-front scramble that led to a tally from Cory Anderson at 17:14. Despite being tagged with five penalties in the second period alone, Danbury escaped tied 2-2. But staying out of the box continued to be a Danbury issue in the third period, but Vladyslav Gavrik managed to give the Hat Tricks the lead with a terrific physical shift on the man advantage at 11:40. On the ensuing faceoff, Anderson shoved the Prowlers' Matt Graham earning himself a roughing minor. It took just 40 seconds for Port Huron to make them pay when Robertson struck again on the powerplay. Anderson was called for a roughing minor at 15:28 and on the resulting penalty kill, Kyle Gonzalez took a roughing call at 16:02 putting Danbury down two players for 1:26. Despite playing an extended 5-on-3 the Hat Tricks penalty killers held and the Prowlers were unable to capitalize. Danbury survived to get to overtime, but once again would be unable to close it out. In extra time, Nicola Levesque rifled a shot on Paulin that sailed wide of the net. The puck rattled around the glass and sprung Port Huron for a rush the other direction. Robertson planted himself in front of the net and sheathed the dagger, earning the hat trick and the victory. "We've got to be better," head coach Billy McCreary said. "We want to be physical. We want to compete. It's encouraging to take these guys to overtime on back-to-back nights, but there are some things we want to clean up going forward." The Hat Tricks take their show on the road next weekend, visiting the Danville Dashers. Read the full article

BY: Casey Bryant, Danbury Hat Tricks DANBURY, CT - Fans got exactly what they wanted from their first professional Danbury hockey game in two years. Well, everything except a win. Despite leading at three different times in the game, the Danbury Hat Tricks, playing their first game in franchise history, failed to close it out. Just 39 seconds into the overtime period, a Matt Robinson goal, ironically his third of the game giving him the hat trick, did in Danbury as the visiting Port Huron Prowlers won it, 4-3. Jonny Ruiz scored the franchise's first goal as well as netted his first professional goal, just one minute into the first period. With a bouncing puck along the far wall, Ruiz corralled it onto his stick, maneuvered out to the slot and ripped a wrister past the Prowlers netminder, Chris Paulin. Port Huron answered back late in the first with just 50 seconds remaining off a brilliant feed from the point by Paul Arnott that found Robertson who slipped it past Hat Tricks starting netminder, Nick Niedert. The Prowlers grabbed the lead on the power play at 9:06 of the second period when Austin Fetterly took advantage of a fortuitous bounce off a Danbury defender, Kruz Listmayer and beat Neidert for the 2-1 lead. The Prowlers dominated possession in the second period, but it was the Hat Tricks on a power play at 17:14 with Ruiz's second of the game to end the period tied at 2. Penalties abounded in the final frame, with a back-and-forth exchange of scoring. Dalton Jay netted his second of the contest to knot the game at three. With less than three minutes remaining in the third period, Cory Anderson potted a powerplay goal to give the Tricks their third lead. That advantage did not last long, as a shot from the high slot off the stick of Matt Stoia redirected off a Danbury defender and past Niedert. In overtime, off a 2-on-1 rush generated by two of the most dangerous scorers in the FPHL, was started by Matt Graham and finished by Robertson. "We showed a lot of character," Hat Tricks head coach Billy McCreary said. "Any time we went through adversity, the guys didn't shy away from it...our defensive zone play has got to get a little better." McCreary specifically found plenty of positives in Ruiz's play. The rookie in his first pro game notched two goals. "He brings a lot of energy. He's very vocal. For him to take the next step, he's gotta be solid in all three zones. He's definitely a big part of what we're doing. "Danbury Arena is an electric place," McCreary said as he praised the 1,509 who packed Danbury Ice Arena. The crowd gave his team a standing ovation following the overtime loss. "We want to give them more to cheer about." Read the full article
