Hall-Southington Skaters Shut Out Fermi Co-op

Jack Rivers scored a goal and assisted on another, and goaltender Adam Faust stopped 18 shots to lead the Hall-Southington ice hockey co-op to a 2-0 win over Fermi-Enfield-East Granby-Stafford Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Rink in West Hartford.

After a scoreless first period, Rivers set up Kyler Cubbage for the only goal the Warrior-Knights would need 1:41 into the middle session.

Later in the period, Rivers was assessed a two-minute penalty. When it expired, he rushed out of the penalty box, took a long pass from Jeremy Fortin, broke in alone and beat Falcon goaltender Sam Roy.

Faust stopped two Falcon breakaways, by Matt Votta in the first period and Andrew Crane in the third.

The victory was Hall-Southington’s fourth in five outings, and came in the team’s home opener after playing its first four games on the road.

The Warrior-Knights get back on the bus Wednesday, traveling to the Terry Conners Rink in Stamford for a matchup with Trinity Catholic at 5:50 p.m.

Fermi-Enfield-East Granby-Stafford dropped to 0-5.
