11/22/25 Summary - Game @ Woodbridge and Practice at Codey Arena

There was a lot of Dare Devils action today. Coach Myles, Coach Eric and Captain Ryan Griffin (updated Captain's Corner post can by found by clicking this link) ran a spirited practice at Codey today while a large contingent of players drove south on the Parkway to take on our intrastate rivals, the Woodbridge Warriors. In Woodbridge, the coaching duties were handled by Coach Jordan and Coach John.

Similar to our past several games in Woodbridge, both teams showed great sportsmanship. Woodbridge lent the Dare Devils a goalie while the Dare Devils had 5 players skate with the short-handed Warriors. The seditious 5 were superstars Kory Wadleigh, Patrick Hung, Connor Hung, Madison Mitchell and Tony He. Coach Terence joined the treacherous players and helped man the Warriors bench.

Under normal circumstances, the Woodbridge squad is one of the best teams in Special Hockey. The addition of the 5 Dare Devils stars allowed the Warriors to play like an all-star team. There was constant puck movement, strong defense and sound structure. It was too much for the Dare Devils to overcome. All of the Dare Devils who teamed up with Woodbridge played strong games. Kory Wadleigh led the way with 2 goals and solid defense; the Hung brothers played their typical strong defense and had several scoring opportunities; Madison Mitchell was a constant net-front presence; and Tony He continued his strong season and almost put home two goals during the contest.

The Dare Devils may have lost the game, but everyone on the team put in a solid effort and the Dare Devils kept it close throughout. Jimmy McTernan led the way with a hat-trick, Patrick Law scored a beautiful goal with assists going to Shea Passikoff and Aaron Quintana and Henry Barrios kept his momentum going by burying a puck into the back of the net. Several Dare Devils (Alfonso Mosca, Ayden Duran, Shea Passikoff, Owen Silverstein, James Cooney, Liam Smith, and Sean Glassett) were robbed of goals by the strong Warriors net minders. Nick Ritter, Will Milazzo and Reese Citro all put their bodies on the line while blocking several shots in the defensive zone. 

There was also something going on with the referees today. We're not sure if they are famous but they seemed to catch the attention of all of the hockey moms in attendance. Despite all of the cat-calls from the stands, the dreamboat zebras called a solid game.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Woodbridge Warriors for hosting us today, showing great sportsmanship, sharing their goalies and treating us to tasty snacks after the game. Your generosity is greatly appreciated - thank you Warriors!

Last but not least, former Dare Devil superstar, Colleen Bryan, traveled down from South New Jersey to watch the game today. It was a great opportunity for her former teammates to see her again. We'd love to have you back on the team - don't be a stranger, Colleen!
