Pee Wee Warriors

The Gateway Warriors skated to a 3-3 tie with the Braintree Blue Pee Wee team on Nov. 30. After being outhustled by Braintree through the first period and a half, RJ Vickery placed the puck past Blue’s goalie, unassisted. Warrior goalie Zachary Pateakos faced a Braintree four-man rush in the third period that put the Warriors in a two-goal deficit. Defenseman Jake DeMoranville answered with a Warrior goal at the period’s 8-minute mark, assisted by Robert Ramsay and Jameson Woodward. The Warriors pulled Pateakos from goal, allowing Ramsay to find Stephen Old in traffic. Old tied the game for the Warriors with less than 90 seconds remaining. Pateakos re-entered the net and finished with the save of the game in the final seconds, as he and DeMoranville sprawled across the ice to stop a goal attempt.

Middle School 1

The Gateway Junior Vikings 1 team had an exciting win Sunday, Dec. 1 against Norton beating the team 4-2. The teams proved evenly matched through the first period. Goalie Steven Strachan made save after save as the Gateway defense found their rhythm. Norton managed a top shelf goal as the second period began. It was quickly answered though, as Vyper Latulippe picked up the puck from behind the net and passed it to Matt Maloney, who dumped it in for the Gateway goal. Two minutes later, Bryan Gallagher scored the first goal of his middle school career, assisted by Kaleb Riggle, to make it 2-1. On a breakaway, Makayla Wood scored the go ahead goal as the third period began. Down 3-2, Norton pulled their goalie at the two-minute mark, but the gamble did not pay off as Vittorio Consoletti scored.
