Andover eliminated from Super 8

CHELMSFORD  — Andover had already made history, earning its first Super 8 berth in program history in a year that could have been derailed by controversy. 
 
Unfortunately for the Golden Warriors, there would be no storybook end to that run.
 
After a few Andover chances in overtime were stopped, St. John’s Shrewsbury raced up ice and scored to take a 3-2 victory in the Super 8 loser’s bracket. 
“I think the kids left it all on the ice,” said Golden Warriors coach Chris Kuchar. “We had our chances down the stretch. We had a few really good chances in overtime. It’s so tough to end this way.”
The loss eliminates No. 5 Andover (13-7-2) from the Super 8. No. 8 St. John’s Shrewsbury continues in the loser’s bracket, to take on the loser of Monday’s game between No. 2 Boston College High School and No. 3 St. John’s Prep. 
“A lot of the kids are hurting right now,” said Kuchar. “We’re all hurting. But with the things that we have gone through this year, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
Each time the Golden Warriors took the lead, Shrewsbury was quick to respond. 
Andover went up 1-0 midway through the first quarter. Senior Caeden Dillman took a pass inside the blueline and blasted the puck over the goalie’s blocker for his eighth goal of the year. But just over three minutes later, the Pioneers scored to tie the game.
Michael Reilly gave the Warriors the lead back 1:33 into the third, skating out in front and flipping a shot into the goal. But this time, Shrewsbury needed just 24 seconds to tie it up again.
“They’re a good hockey team,” said Kuchar. “We knew we were facing a tough team. They made it hard for us to get the puck in the net. We had a few chances in the 4 on 4 (overtime), and they got their sticks in the way.”
Andover had a few golden chances in overtime. But one shot skidded just wide of the post, and two others were saved to keep Shrewsbury alive. Then, with 1:30 left in the first OT, the Pioneers scored the winner.
Golden Warriors goalie Cole Chingris once again starred. He finished with 26 saves, his two best coming in overtime. First, he sprawled out to knock a puck away with his left leg. Then, a minute later, he made a huge glove save in traffic.
“I can’t say enough about how our goalie played,” said Kuchar. “He played his heart out. Cole gave us the opportunity to be here, and he played his heart out until the end.
“We would have loved to move on. But with how this year played out, my kids showed amazing character and resilience. They just kept on fighting. It shows not just their hockey ability, but their character as men. I couldn’t be prouder of them.”

Super 8 opener: Central trounces St. John's-Shrewsbury

LOWELL — Noah Jankowski skated onto the ice ready to make an impact. But by the midway point in the first period, the Central Catholic star had surprised even himself.
“You’re always hoping, as a confident player, for a big game,” said the junior center. “But I wasn’t expecting that.”
Jankowski scored twice in the first 6:47 of play, and the top-seeded Raiders were rolling from there on the way to a 5-0 victory over No. 8 St. John’s of Shrewsbury in the first round of the Super 8 tournament. 
“I thought we came out and played really well,” said captain Joe Biddle. “Noah gave us a lead, and we kept the momentum going. Now we feel like we have a lot more for the rest of the Super 8.”
The Raiders advance to the Super 8 second round, where they will play No. 5 Hingham (12-4-6) on Monday back at the Tsongas Center (time TBA.) Central is now two wins away from the Super 8 title game.
St. John’s Shrewsbury moves to the loser’s bracket, and will face No. 6 Andover on Sunday at the Chelmsford Forum. The loser of that game will be eliminated from the tournament. 
“I thought we played well, especially in the first half of the game,” said Raiders head coach Kim Brandvold. “St. John’s (Shrewsbury) is a good team. We skated well, got on the pucks and limited their opportunities.”
After his two quick goals, the crowd was buzzing about the play of Jankowski. But Brandvold said he has high expectations for the son of longtime Central Catholic head coach Mike Jankowski.
“Noah’s been scoring goals for us like that all season,” said Brandvold. “He plays the game the right way every day. We take pride in getting to the inside and in front of the net and scoring goals that way, and Noah has done that all year.”
Jankowski started the scoring exactly five minutes into the game. He took rocket pass from behind the net and buried it for a 1-0 lead.
It took just 1:47 for Jankowski to strike again. This time, he tapped the puck home for a 2-0 advantage. Jack Gray and Biddle assisted on the score.
“On the first goal Owen (Fowler) made a great play behind the net,” said Jankowski, who now has 13 goals and 22 points for the season. “He was able to get it to me and I just tapped it in for the goal.
“The second one was in traffic. We were getting pucks to the net, which we want to do. Biddle got a nice shot on net, and I was able to get my stick on it and get it into the net. I was awesome to set the tone for the game like that. It really got us going.”
Junior defenseman Steven Birch added to the advantage with 0:04 left in the second. He hauled in a loose puck and fired a shot from the left faceoff circle into the goal. It was the third goal of the season for the Windham resident. 
That was all the scoring until the final two minutes of the game. With 1:50 left, Will Winship scored his team-best 15th goal of the season to make it 4-0. Then, six seconds later, Charles Stahley added a goal to cap off the scoring.
Reigning Eagle-Tribune All-Star Central Catholic goalie Matt Pasquale was rarely tested, but made all 14 saves he was asked to for his area-best 10th shutout of the season.
“Matt was amazing for us as always,” said Biddle. “We always know we can rely on him.”
Central next takes on Hingham, which beat Andover 2-1 in overtime in their Super 8 first round matchup. The Raiders rolled past Hingham 4-0 in their regular season meeting.
“We want to go into the next game with the same speed and energy we went into this game with,” said Jankowski. “We want to keep pushing and keep moving forward. It will be a fun game.”
