Although they started off slow the ‘96 Bantam Major Team came roaring back to win the Silver Medal in The North American Summer Championships held at the New England Sports Center in Marlboro from August 20^th through August 22^nd.

In the first round of the playoffs held Sunday morning the '96 Bantam Major Team defeated the Connecticut Mongoose 1 Team 7-2 to advance to the Silver Medal Game. The Shamrocks were lead by Tyler Scearbo and Jonathan Parece with two goals each while Connor Sodergren, Chris Nigro and Zach Strahan each chipped in with one goal a piece.

Later Sunday afternoon the Shamrocks took on the Connecticut Mongoose 2 Team to decide the Silver Medal Winner of the North American Summer Hockey Championships. In the preliminary round the '96 Shamrocks lost a 6-5 heartbreaker to the Mongoose 2 Team so the Silver Medal Game promised to be a thriller.  But the Shamrocks easily handled the Connecticut team beating them 5-2. Tyler Scearbo once again scored 2 goals for the Shamrocks as Connor Sodergren, Matt Dighton and Zach Strahan scored one goal each in the Silver Medal Game.

At 2:20 this afternoon the Shamrocks will take on the Connecticut Mongoose 2 Team at the New England Sports Center in Marlboro to decide the Silver Medal Winner of the North American Summer Hockey Championships. In the preliminary round the '96 Shamrocks lost a 6-5 heartbreaker to the Mongoose 2 Team so the Silver Medal Game should be a thriller.

Despite having only one practice as a team under their belts the '96 Shamrocks accorded themselves quite well losing last night to the New England Predators 3-2 at the Veteran's Memorial Rink in Haverhill.  Because of prior commitments, a few players were unable to make the game forcing the team to play with only four defensemen.  The coaches asked for and received a total effort from all players that dressed.  Shamrock goals were scored by Jonathan Parece and Brendan Boyle (after a nifty feed from Parece). The team is looking forward to this weekend as they will be competing in the North American Summer Championships Tournament at The New England Sports Center in Marlboro.

The ‘96 Bantam Major team will open it’s inaugural season by competing in the 2010 North American Summer Championships Hockey Tournament being held at the New England Sports Center in Marlboro, Massachusetts from August 20^th through August 22^nd, 2010.

The preliminary round games are scheduled for Friday, August 20^th & Saturday, August 21^st. The playoff round will begin on Sunday morning, August 22^nd while the championship games will be held later in the afternoon.
