Adirondack to hit the road for the holiday

Adirondack IceHawks Press Release

Glens Falls, NY – At the beginning of the second
period the Generals scored on a 5 on 3 to take a
two-goal lead and held the rest of the way to beat the
IceHawks 5-2. Flint got out to an early 2-1 lead on
goals by John DiPace and Kevin Kerr. In the second,
Jim Duhart scored on the 5 on 3 and the Generals added
two in the third to seal the deal. Adirondack got
goals from Frank Littlejohn and Sylvain Cloutier, but
the IceHawks were unable to pick up a point in every
game this week. With the loss, the IceHawks are now
5-7-3 on the season, while Flint is 6-5-2.

Flint opened up a 1-0 lead when DiPace scored just
over a minute into the first period. The IceHawks tied
the game on a Frank Littlejohn goal. Frank put a hard
slap shot in front of the net past Generals goalie Dan
MacIntyre to tie the game at one. The Generals retook
the lead halfway through the period when Kerr scored
his first of two goals on the evening. With time
expired after the first, Jeff Ewasko took a double
minor for roughing and slashing Kevin Kerr, which gave
the Generals a 5 on 3 to start the second period.

Flint took control on the two-man advantage and scored
46 seconds into the period. The Generals were unable
to score with the remaining 5 on 4 advantage and the
IceHawks remained in the game. On a power play of
their own the IceHawks scored a second goal of the
night to make it a one-goal game. Sylvain Cloutier
took a pass from Belanger in front of the net and beat
MacIntyre to make the score 3-2 at the end of two.

In the third, the IceHawks did not come out with the
intensity they had in the second period and the action
was end to end for the majority of the period, with
few scoring chances. There was just under two minutes
to play when the Generals extended their lead to two
goals. Brent Sullivan took a pass from Bobby Reynolds
and from point blank range shot it past Lance Leslie.
The final goal was an empty netter by Kevin Kerr his
second goal of the night.
