First Day of Camp: Cavanagh Scores!

The Worcester Sharks opened training camp this Monday with an open practice at the DCU Center so the fans could see their new hockey team. There were about 200 fans in attendance as they watch the prospects battle it out in drills and then a gray vs. black scrimmage.

Josh Prudden opened up the scoring as he broke down the right side and shot a goal past Thomas Greiss to give gray the 1-0 lead. Brad Bonello, who switched jerseys half-way through the scrimmage, made it 2-0 when there was a 3-1 down low near the goal. Riley Armstrong picked up an assist on the goal. Black would cut the lead in half when Eric Przepiorka scored a goal off goaltender Dimitri Patzoid. Former Holy Cross standout Tyler McGregor would score a goal before the end of the half when he riffled a shot from the slot to beat Greiss high for team gray.

Shawn Snider would score the first goal of the 2nd half when he received a pass from Eric Przepiorka on a 2-1. Then John Wrobleski would tie the game up at 3 when he fired home a rebound off a Brennan Evans slap shot from the point. Gray would take the lead when Scott Seney found the back of the net, sliding one past Ryan MacDonald. Black would be awarded a penalty shot which Eric Przepiorka would convert on making it tied at 4. Brock Hooton made a nice centering pass right on the tape of Aston Rome’s stick who was able to score on netminder Ryan MacDonald. Evans would pick up the game tying goal just at the end of the game when he fired a shot off the face-off to send this game into a shoot out.
