OSWEGO, NY — This past weekend, there were three hockey games completed in the Crisafulli Ice Rink located on the banks of Lake Ontario. Both the Oswego Boys Buccaneers team and the Oswego Girls Buccaneers team competed against Section III opponents with mixed results coming from the contests.
Friday afternoon, the Oswego Girls team faced off against the Skaneateles Lakers. The Lakers, a past Section III champion, showed up in full force in the contest as the group was able to take care of the Buccaneers. The Lakers would score two in the first period and add three more in the final stanza to secure their first win of the season. Oswego was unable to add to the score sheet as goaltender Isabelle Wells had a shutout and ten saves for Skaneateles. Oswego will take the week off from competition and start their second game of the 2021 season against Skaneateles on the road. Puck drop is set for 6:30 p.m. on March 1st.
That evening, the Oswego boys Buccaneers would take the ice once again for their second matchup at home. The Bucs would face the Cicero-North Syracuse Northstars for the first time this season. Oswego would open the scoring in the first period off a Marcus Baker tally. The Buccaneers would finish the second period up 6-2 after five goals were scored during the stanza. CNS would come back in the third period but would come up short thanks to a solid performance between the pipes for Brayden Demling. The netminder had 24 saves in the contest. Forward Collin Cianfarano would have a five-point night with three goals and two assists.
However, Oswego would not have the same result the following evening. The Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse would travel to the Crisafulli Ice Rink and come away with a 6-2 victory. The team would extend it’s win streak after three goals in the third period. Connor Calabro would make an appearance in net after relieving a struggling Demling. Calabro would allow two goals and have eight saves in his 11 minutes played. Oswego will prepare for four games in four nights with Baldwinsville traveling north for a Monday night matchup. The teams will do battle at the fort at 7 p.m. as Oswego looks to start this new week on a high note. WTOP 10 will continue to deliver updates on social media along with recaps on the website.
