Congrats to the Half Hollow Hills Thundercolts for winning the Tier 3 Middle School title tonight by a score of 9-1. The Thundercolts and Plainedge Red Devils played a best-of-three final that needed all three games.

Plainedge won game 1 by a score of 10-9 in overtime with efforts from Luke Hite (6 goals), Thomas Franzino (3 goals) and Jaxon Aschettino's overtime winner. Half Hollow Hills took game 2 with two goals from Joe Cippitelli and four from Aiden Shochat in a 7-3 win.

The third and decisive game was almost never in question as Half Hollow Hills impressively spread out their offense and moved the puck up and down the rink. They got timely goaltending and were able to bury their chances. Aiden Shochat led all playoff performers with 16 points.

It was a great series for two young teams with a very bright future. We look forward to seeing you back again!
