BINGHAMTON HOCKEY HEADLINES
BLACK BEARS TAKE TWO MORE POINTS AFTER 5-4 SHOOT OUT WIN
The Binghamton Black Bears (23-4-1) defeated the Motor City Rockers (11-14-2) in the shoot out, 5-4 to end the first have of the season. The Black Bears CJ Stubbs got tagged with a roughing call at the 4:10 mark of the 1st period leading to a Mathias Tellstrom power play goal just 25 seconds later giving the Rockers a 1-0 lead. With Theodore Rowell in the penalty box and the Black Bears on the power play, Eli Rivers was able to score a short-handed goal to put the Rockers up 2-0. However on the same power play, Tyson Kirkby scored the Black Bears first goal of the game at the 2:23 mark of the 2nd period. While Sotirios Karageorgos was in the box for Tripping, the Black Bears got their 2nd power play goal of the game when Gavin Yates sent a pass over to an open CJ Stubbs who scored a goal in each of his last 4 games. Scoring in his 2nd straight game, defenseman Jesse Anderson scored the Black Bears 3rd goal 51 seconds into the 3rd period giving the Black Bears their 1st lead of the game. The Rockers tie the game at 3 goals after a 2 on 1 play led to a Tim Delaney tally at the 7:53 mark of the 3rd period. Late in the period, Chris Mott gave the Black Bears their 2nd lead of the game off a beautiful snipe from the first year rookie with 4:23 left to go in the period. In the overtime period, the Black Bears started on the power play and had a lot of chances but Ricardo Gonzalez was good and it would take the shoot out. The Black Bears got two shoot out goals from Scott Ramaekers and CJ Stubbs while Nolan Egbert only saw two shooters and stopped them both for the 5-4 victory.

BINGHAMTON BLACK BEARS FINISH FIRST HALF OF SEASON ATOP
The Binghamton Black Bears in the 2024-25 season have now played 28 games, which is exactly half of the season. They are 23-4-1 with 65 points, which ranks them first in the league and in the Empire Division. They are 19 points ahead of the Watertown Wolves who have played 2 less games, even if the Wolves gain all 6 points in those games in hand, the difference is 13 points. I think the Black Bears are having a great season. This is the second full season for Head Coach Brant Sherwood, who when he took over the reigns of the franchise on December 29, 2022 after Gary Gill took a leave of absence, had to make some hard decisions before a winning culture was able to start forming. It took some time, releasing or trading fan favorites or local players and to hearing “Fire Sherwood” to what the franchise has became over the last season and a half, “The Model” in the FPHL. To compare the first 28 games this season to last years start, the numbers are certainly impressive and surprising to a degree as well. In 2023-24, the first 28 games had some over-time challenges and maybe specialty teams challenges that were corrected but were evident, and the wins were there. The first half of last season saw the Black Bears win 19 games, have only 3 regulation losses but 6 losses in overtime or the shoot-out. Remember last year, C-Mac was snake bitten in the shoot-out and we didn’t know what we had at that point. A team that was going to get to the playoffs, but not disappoint. Last season’s start saw 130 goals scored and 84 goals allowed, 46 goal differential, that’s not that bad.

MCANANAMA NAMED GOALIE OF THE MONTH FOR DECEMBER
The FPHL named Binghamton Black Bears net-minder Connor McAnanama as Goalie of the Month for Decemeber. In December, C-Mac went 5-0-0 through five games, had 1 shut out on 12/28/2024 vs. the Danbury Hat Tricks. During the the 5 games Connor had a 1.43 Goals Against Average and .944 save %.
