Boys hockey: Wave knock off Knights


Senior High looking for edge in race for Gambucci Cup

By: Brad Elliott Schlossman, Grand Forks Herald

It has been so long since East Grand Forks Senior High has won the Gambucci Cup that co-coach Cory Chupka can’t put his finger on the exact date.

But the Green Wave took a big step toward winning it for the first time since 2004 on Tuesday night.

Tommy Hajicek scored twice and added an assist and Zack Lawdermilt had a goal and two assists to lead Senior High to a 4-1 home victory over North Dakota state defending champion Grand Forks Central.

The Knights currently hold the trophy that goes to the Greater Grand Forks team with the best head-to-head record.

“Oh boy, you would have go to back to my first year with (Jim) Scanlan coaching,” Chupka said of the last time Senior High was the best team in the Grand Cities. “Whenever you play Central at home, you know it’s going to be a good team. We played very well tonight as a team. We were moving the puck well and getting to the puck.”

It didn’t take much time for the Green Wave to make their statement.

On the first shift of the game, Corey Mack dug the puck out of the corner and sent it to Lawdermilt in the slot. Central goalie Derek Fuller made the first save, but the puck came out to Hajicek, who snapped it between Fuller’s pads just 14 seconds into the game.

“East Side showed up ready to play,” Central coach Tony Bina said. “They were moving their feet. They were finishing their checks. We stood around and watched for most of the night.”

Central, which dropped to 5-3 on the season, fell behind by two goals early in the second. Lawdermilt sent Tyler Hajicek on a breakaway. The junior forward snapped a shot off the left post and in at 1:48.

The Knights got their lone goal of the game at 11:08 of the second, when leading scorer Johnny Simonson curled around the right circle and fired a shot high over Senior High goalie Hunter Aubol (23 saves) for a four-on-three power-play goal.

“We were right back in the game at that point,” said Bina, whose team played without a couple of defensemen who were injured at the Herald Jason Stadstad Hockey Classic last weekend. “We were never really out of it until late in the third period.”

Lawdermilt extended Senior High’s lead with a breakaway goal late in the second, scoring on the backhand for a 3-1 Green Wave lead.

The final goal was scored when Lawdermilt connected with Tyler Hajicek on a backdoor feed at 10:52.

“The boys are really fired up right now,” said Chupka, whose team has defeated Warroad and the Knights in their last two games. “They worked hard and they came ready to play tonight.”

EGF Senior High 4,

GF Central 1

Key play: Zach Lawdermilt’s goal for a 3-1 Senior High lead in the second period.

Key player: Tommy Hajicek, 2 goals, 1 assist.

December Update from the Coaches

December 20, 2010


Greetings from the 2010-2011 Greenwave Boys Hockey team.

A special thank you to all the members of the 1960-1961 team that were able to join us for our first annual alumni night.

The Boys hockey team is currently riding a three game winning streak after starting the season 0-2. The season started with losses to 8AA contenders Bemidji and Brainerd. On Dec. 4 playing our third game in as many days, the Wave beat Park Rapids 11-2 for our first win. Leading the way in the win was the line of Tommy Hajicek (1g -4a), Zack Lwdermilt (1g-4a) and Cory Mack (2g-2a). Scoring their first career goals were Gage Ausmus, Nick Korynta and Tyler Hajicek.

With a whole week off between games the Wave were able get some quality practices in before facing the Lake of the Woods Bears and Alex Lyons, one of the best goaltenders in the State of Minnesota. The Wave outshot the Bears 46-14, and won 4-2. Having another good night for the Wave was the line of Hajicek(2g), Mack (1g-1a) and Lawdermilt (3a). The win moved the wave to 2-2 on the season and more importantly 2-0 in Section 8A play.

Friday December 17th, saw the Waves biggest rival come to town in the Warriors from Warroad. With another full week to prepare the Wave came out flying in the first period, outshooting Warroad 10-5 while building a 3-0 lead on goals from Mack, Lawdermilt and Hajicek. That would be all the scoring the wave needed as the game would finish 3-0. With the Hajicek line providing all the scoring, the Waves defense showed its strength in holding Warroad to just 18 shots on net and helping goalie Hunter Aubol earn his first shutout of the season.

This week the Wave have two big games before the Christmas break. On Tuesday, the Wave open up the Gambucci Cup playing host to Grand Forks Central. Thursday the Wave look to stay unbeaten in Section 8A as they travel to Crookston to play the Pirates.

See you at the Rink,



Tyler Palmiscno

EGF Defeats L.O.W. 4-2

With an outstanding team effort the Greenwave were able to solve L.O.W. goalie Alex Lyon, one of the state's best netminders, and post a 4-2 win.  The Greenwave outshot the Bears 46-14 on the night.  The line of junior Zack Lawdermilt 0g-3a-3pts, junior Cory Mack 1g-1a-2pt, and sophomore Tommy Hajicek 2g-0a-2pts led the way for the Greenwave putting 19 shots on Lyon.   Junior D Hunter Mero scored his first goal of the year for the game winner.
