Army rides a solid defensive effort to second consecutive shutout.

This clearly isn’t the same Red Army team that struggled to start last season. Clearly captain Marty’s offseason points of emphasis are working. The team is scoring goals with ease and playing strong team defense in their own end. The army had the early tilt last nite, and the crowd was late arriving; the flat atmosphere may have been a cause to the army only jumping out to a 1-0 lead on a goal from brogan (4th) in the first. Three in the second padded teh lead, The army added two in the third and put things on cruise control and ensure being on their couches in time for the start of the Bruins. Driscoll’s first of the year, jumping up on a 3-2 rush made it 2-0. We spoke to him after the game about that play:

The army’s balanced scoring from both lines also helped pace the victory. Vince chipped in with his second and third of the year. He likes the way the squad is playing

The story of the night was once again the Army’s tender, Wallace. Here are his thoughts.

While Morgan and Hog have yet to show up in the stat sheet, their defensive play is a key part of the back to back blankings.

Offseason addition Brogan continues to be white hot with 3 more points, we talked to him about his start.

Before the army hangs the championship banner Bob makes sure the squad doesn’t get to far ahead of its self, teams got to keep playing team defense to win.

Red Army Cruises to 7-0 Season Opening Win

The Red Army unceremoniously welcomed Restore Hockey to the Burlington league with a 7-0 drubbing to start the season. The army debuted its new offensive lineup to rave reviews. The Army broke the bank this offseason for Greg Brogan who found himself a free agent after the folding of Team Middlesex after last year. It may be early but if last night is any indication the signing looks to be a success as brogan set the pace scoring three and capping off the trick with a dazzling back hand roof job in the third. We caught up with him after the game to get his thoughts.

Vince also chipped in with a patented “Vince” goal as he put home a rebound while standing behind the goalie, expect a lot more of those skating with Trav and Peeks. We talked to Vince outside the locker room after the win.

Not to be out done by the offensive performance of the Army goaltender Josh Wallace was in midseason form, stopping several grade A scoring changes on his way to the teams first of what will undoubtedly be many shutouts this season. How did he feel about the effort? After a quick thought from Trav, we get Wallace’s key to the victory.

We also spoke to some veteran members of the Army and got their thoughts on the teams first win. Here's what Bob, Hog and Morgan thought of the win.

We tried to catch up with Peeks and Army Captain Marty following the win but they were quickly ushered to a season ticket holder meet and greet following the win, the look on those kids faces as they met two of their heroes was something to see.

Check back next week as the Army takes on the Durans at 6:30 at the Ice Palace and as always

The Army is Back

The Army kicks off its third season Wednesday night in Burlington. The off season was a tumultuous one for the squad. Captain Marty has seen his roster turnover some from last season. Gone are two regulars, Nester and Sheehan. Added to the squad is Travis and Brogan. Look to them to add to the offensive firepower the army already possessed. The rest of the squad and back and we got some new shaaaaarp uni's. Puck drops at 8:50 this week. Stay tuned for post game sound from the locker room following what will surely be an army rout.

Standings

The standings after the first two weeks have been posted. It's far too early to make anything of the numbers but it is a little interesting that the army, which is known for its dynamic offense, is tied for 7th in goals scored after two weeks. Here is a look at how the early season is shaping up.
