Lynn Jets savor super season !

By Steve Krause / The Daily Item

LYNN -- There was plenty to celebrate Monday night when the Lynn Jets coaches, players and parents gathered at the Porthole Restaurant to bask in their most successful season to date.

After all, the Jets -- three years into being Lynn's one and only public high school hockey team -- made the state tournament for the first time. Not only that, they won a game in the tournament (over Northeast Regional) before bowing out at the hands of a powerful Concord-Carlisle team.

All of these accomplishments were noted by coach Joe Conlon, who was quick to give credit to the players for their dedication to the sport.

And while Conlon and the coaches gave out a handful of awards at Monday's dinner, he was also quick to point out that everyone contributed to the successful season.

Eric Bransfield was honored as the team's most valuable player. Other awards went to Kyle Devin, freshman of the year; Craig McDaniel, most improved; Mike Duggan and Bucky Surette, Jet Engine award for hustle; Jack Carter, student-athlete; and Terry Finnigan and Jeff Porter, coaches awards.

Captains for next season are Nick Comeau and Bucky Surette, while assistant captains are Jordan Morelli and John Finnigan.

And for much of the first period and a half, the plan was working. But the Patriots broke a 1-1 tie with two goals in 34 seconds late in the second and went on to a 5-2 win.   "We started running around a bit in the second and it cost us," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "They're as talented a team as we've played all season." The Patriots came out storming with their offense firing an early salvo at Jets goalie Nick Comeau. Mike Van Siclen and Robbie Snook had a pair of quality chances early but Comeau met the challenge. Taking Concord's early shot, Lynn steadied itself and delivered a big counterpunch on a power play late in the first. Demetrius Polk took a Ryan Powers pass and ripped a slap shot from the blue line past Steven Saul to send the Jets to the locker room with a 1-0 lead. "We knew going in we'd probably be outshot so we had to take advantage of our chances," Conlon said. The Patriots had a :34 5-on-3 advantage early in the second but the Lynn penalty killers did the job. Not long after the brilliant kill, though, the Jets saw their lead vanish. Brodie Stone parked in the slot and redirected J.C. Winslow's shot over Comeau's shoulder to tie the game at 4:23. The Patriots kept coming and used their late second-period burst to assume control. First Stone finished off a Billy Crosby rebound to make it 2-1 at 10:59. Moments later, Mike O'Brien beat a Lynn defender along the boards, cut to the slot and put a laser over Comeau's glove for a 3-1 lead. "They are a very hard team to keep up with for 45 minutes," Conlon said. C-C seemed to put the game on ice early in the third as Winslow snuck in from his defense spot and slid Crosby's backhand pass by Comeau to make it 4-1 with 11:01 left. The Jets, though, cut it back to a pair five minutes later as Bucky Surette converted off a Jeff Porter feed. Lynn had several other chances but couldn't slide home loose pucks in the crease. Mike O'Brien closed the scoring for C-C with 1:01 left. "We wanted to cut it to a goal and see what happened but couldn't," Conlon said. "It was a great season and hopefully it gives us something to build off of."

SALDANHA) Lynn Jets beat Northeast 3-1 By Erik Johnson / For The Item, Sunday, February 28, 2010 BILLERICA -- While it may not have been the prettiest performance of the season, Lynn's boys hockey team still made its first ever tournament game a memorable one. The Jets outplayed Northeast and prevailed to a one-sided 3-1 win. "I thought we played really well," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "It was our first win in the tournament for the program. Our staff couldn't be happier, and we are very proud of the kids." The fourth seeded Jets (14-7-1) brought their usual physical play and it definitely paid off. The Jets didn't allow a shot in the first five minutes of the game, and carried the momentum for almost the entire game.     "Our defense played very well," said Conlon. "Our forwards did a great job dropping back, and our defensemen did a great job in our zone all night. They did a nice job protecting our goalie (Nick Comeau)." Lynn actually outshot the fifth seeded Golden Knights (12-8-1) 39-20. If it weren't for a last minute surge in the third period by Northeast it would have been an even greater margin. "We held the edge in shots and territorially," said Conlon. "If you can do that you will be successful." The Jets' physical brand of hockey prompted Northeast to play a bit chippy. The Golden Knights accumulated 11 penalties, while Lynn only piled up five. "We knew we would have to go out there and play a clean game," said Conlon. "We did a nice job playing the body and did a nice job disrupting their game." The Jets finally got a goal late in the second period. Demetrius Polk found the back of the net on a rebound to break the scoreless tie. The Jets then found themselves with a five-on-three advantage. The five on three carried over to the third period, and it took virtually all of the 1:20 span of the advantage to put the puck past Knights goalie Dylan Smith, but Mike Duggan gave Lynn some insurance when he went five-hole. Polk picked up the assist. "I think we were a little nervous out there (on the offensive end of the ice)," said Conlon. "We just kept playing our game and eventually broke through (with some goals). Lynn's final goal came with 4:53 remaining in the game. John Finnegan fed the puck deep in the zone to Jordan Morelli, who flipped a nice pass to Terry Finnegan who again beat Smith. Both Smith and Comeau had strong performances. Smith finished with 36 saves, while Comeau finished with 19. The only time Comeau was beaten came on a great individual effort by Shawn Smith, who passed the puck off boards to himself at center ice and then fired a laser beam from the right boards. At the time Comeau had only faced 12 shots and had not seen a shot since very early in the period. The win sets up a match with Division 3's top seed, Concord Carlisle (18-0-2), on Thursday at 8:15 back at the Chelmsford Forum.

The Lynn Jets are in the tournament for the first time in three years. The Jets finished 13-7-1 to take the No. 4 spot and will meet No. 5 Northeast-Malden on Sunday (4:10) in Chelmsford for a semifinal berth.

"To have 14 wins is a really big accomplishment for these kids," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "It's a credit to them for all the hard work they've put it this season."

Bucky Surette's 23 points led an offense that had six players score 10 or more points in the regular season while Nick Comeau and Craig MacDaniel have given the Jets a pair of talented net minders.

"We are very lucky to have a couple of goalies like Nick and Craig," Conlon said. "They give us a chance to win every night."

 

Mike Duggan of the Lynn Jets took part in this weekend's Northeastern Conference/Cape Ann League all-star game at Salem State. Duggan and the Jets have received a bye in the Division 3 North tournament, and will be in action Sunday against Northeast Regional in Chelmsford.

LYNN - The third time proved to be the charm for the Lynn Jets hockey team on Friday at Connery Rink.

After coming up short in their first two bids to clinch a spot in the Division 3 North tournament, the Jets finally were able to seal the deal as Jordan Morelli scored twice and Craig MacDaniel posted his second shutout of the season in a 4-0 win over Somerville.

After barely missing the tournament the past two season, Friday's win was a sweet reward for a Jets (11-6-1) team that currently sits second in the Northeastern Conference/South standings.

"It's been three years for this program and 100% of the credit for this goes to the kids," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said after his team gave him the obligatory Gatorade bath. "They have worked so hard and deserve this."

Despite taking eight penalties in the game, the Jets were never really in serious jeopardy of seeing another tourney clinching chance disappear. Lynn faced an early 5-on-3 disadvantage yet still managed to take the lead when Morelli scored the first of his two goals, assisted by Terry Finnegan and Demetrius Polk.

Later in the first, Bucky Surette doubled the Lynn lead when he converted off assists from Jeff Porter and Mike Duggan to give the Jets a 2-0 lead after one.

That momentum carried right over to the second when Porter struck at the 10 second mark, assisted by Kyle Martin. And with MacDaniel on his game in goal, those three goals were seemingly going to be plenty of insurance.

"It was a long week in this locker room chasing that point," Conlon said. "But everyone stayed together and worked together."

Any doubts that it was going to be a night for the Jets to celebrate got erased at 5:47 of the third when Morelli scored his second of the night, finishing off a 2-on-1 with John Finnegan.

From there, it was the Jets defense that shined, easily preserving MacDaniel's shutout and the landmark win for the program.

SALDANHA)  Marblehead claims NEC South title with win over Lynn By Matthew Roy / For The Item, February 3, 2010 LYNN -- Marblehead was most people's favorite to win the Northeastern Conference's South title before the season, and on Wednesday against the Lynn Jets at Connery Rink, the Headers checked that off their list. The Headers scored three times in a five-minute stretch midway through the second period and then held off a Lynn charge in the third to take a 4-1 win and claim the South title. "Any time you win a championship, it's special," Marblehead coach Bob Jackson said. "It's a great reward for these kids. They've worked so hard this year." It is the seventh league championship for the Marblehead program in its 65-year history and moved the Headers to a stellar 13-2-2 for the season. "They deserve this title," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "They do all the little things, work hard and take advantage of any mistake you make." The game was scoreless after the first before the Headers got the game's first power play but failed to convert. After being held at bay by Nick Comeau for 21 minutes, Alex Whitmore's rebound goal off Ben Koopman's initial shot and whacks by Chris McLeod and Ryan Dempsey gave Marblehead the lead. "That's something we worked on in practice (Tuesday) ... getting to rebounds," Jackson said. "We told the kids to have their sticks down and be ready." A little under two minutes later, Sam Snow got to another rebound and deposited it under the crossbar to stake the Headers to a 2-0 lead. Less than a minute later, Ryan Dempsey picked up the puck in the neutral zone, beat two Jets and then fired a laser over Comeau's shoulder to stunningly give Marblehead a 3-0 lead with 4:05 left in the second. "That goal by Ryan was one of the best that I've seen in a long time," Jackson said. "He won two one-on-one battles and then fired a perfect shot." Lynn's third line of Jack Carter, Kyle Devin and Ryan Coppinger was perhaps its best all night, and early in the third it was Carter who gave the Jets some life when he scored on a rebound. "Those guys really led the way in the third period," Conlon said. The Jets kept on buzzing but Marblehead goalie Tony Cuzner came up with several clutch saves on quality chances to sustain the two-goal lead. Hunter Graves ensured ultimate victory for Marblehead with an empty-netter at 14:27. "To be 13-2-2 right now is a compliment to these kids," Jackson said. "They have really come together and have worked really hard. Now our goal is to win as many games as we can to ensure a two or three seed in the tourney."

Jets run into a delay, still need to qualify for hockey tourney

By Jonathan Weiner / For The Item

The Jets were whistled for a penalty 28 seconds into the period, and forward Justin Massey's blast from the point with one second remaining with the man advantage beat MacDaniel for a 2-1 edge.

Lynn had several attempts to tie the score within the following minutes, but Gallagher robbed winger Chris Surette midway through. The forward stole a puck near midice, skated in, and flicked a wrist shot that was turned aside by the goalie.

Just moments before Lynn tied up matters, forward John Finnigan was stonewalled by Gallagher on his slap shot. The rebound was deflected to the goalie's right, and Finnigan fired once more, with Gallagher again holding his ground.

"This was our most complete game of the year," said Swampscott coach Gino Faia, whose team fell to Lynn, 3-0, in the season's opener. "It was tough to give up that late (game-tying) goal, and we have been kind of struggling."

Jets Cool off  Beverly

The Lynn Jets took a big step towards clinching a spot in the Division 3 North tournament on Wednesday at Connery Rink with a 4-1 win over red-hot Beverly.

"We have some older kids and leaders on this team and they took the bull by the horns and led us to a big-league win in our building," Jets coach Joe Conlon said.

Lynn needs just two points in its final six games to clinch a tourney spot. The Jets' first chance to clinch comes on Saturday night (8) at home against Swampscott.

The Jets (10-5-0) controlled much of the first period but the game was scoreless until early in the second when Beverly's Brian Spencer scored.

The Panthers had a 16-9 shots advantage but Lynn emerged with the lead after two thanks to goals 1:11 apart from Jordan Morelli and Kyle Martin late in the second.

Demetrius Polk's power play goal at 5:53 of the third gave Lynn some insurance before Terry Finnegan completed the scoring at 7:49.

Tough Loss to Peabody

By Matthew Roy / For The Item

LYNN --
The Tanners (9-2-0, 7-0-0 NEC) dominated the game most of the way, winning by four goals despite going an astounding 0-for-10 on the power play Saturday.

"Our power play was definitely not our strong point (Saturday)," joked Leonard. "But playing with a backup goaltender (Joe Powers) and without our best defenseman and a starting forward, this was one of our most solid wins of the year."

The Jets (9-5-0, 4-4-0) hung tough for a while but Peabody took advantage of a couple defensive breakdowns in the second period to put four goals on the board and assume control of the contest.

"When you make a mistake against them, you can pretty much put it on the scoreboard," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "And that's a credit to them. They move the puck and skate hard and play with their heads up. They have a whole bunch of guys over there that can score goals."

Things started well for the Jets as Terry Finnegan one-timed a centering pass from older brother John past Powers to give Lynn a 1-0 lead just 1:43 in. Bucci, however, took care of his milestone 50 seconds later as he took a Derrik Pereira pass and tucked a shot past Craig MacDaniel.

The rest of the period would become a showcase for the Jets penalty killers as Lynn killed off a lengthy 2-man advantage and four other penalties to keep the game tied at 1-1 after the first.

"We missed so many chances," Leonard said. "And that's been a problem for us lately."

After failing on its seventh power play of the game early in the second, Peabody took the lead for good at 4:33 when Mike Chiappini picked off a clearing attempt and slid the puck to Bucci for a one-timer under the crossbar.

Four minutes later, Steve Hatchouel pushed the lead to 3-1 when his slap shot beat a screened MacDaniel. Less than two minutes after that, Rob Houghton took a Chiappini drop pass and one-timed a laser over MacDaniel's shoulder from the top of the right circle to make it 4-1.

After killing a Lynn power play late in the period, the Tanners completed a 13-shot assault with Connor Purcell's goal, assisted by Pereira and Rodgers, with nine seconds remaining.

"Lynn was playing well but we were finally able to break through a bit in the second," Leonard said.

Split decision for Lynn Jets

By Erik Johnson / For The Item

Gloucester 5, Lynn 2

At Talbot Rink, the Jets saw their six-game winning streak come to an end. Lynn found itself playing catch-up the whole game. Gloucester's John Interrante scored late in the first period to take a 1-0 lead. The Jets' Jeff Porter tied the game on an unassisted goal 10:17 into the second period, but Interrante struck again 30 seconds later to give Gloucester back the lead.

The Jets' Kyle Martin tied things up on an unassisted goal 11:48 into the period, but Gloucester scored three unanswered goals (Ben Fabazza, Conor Ressel and Sal Taormina) to put the game away. Nick Comeau had 25 saves for Lynn (7-2).

By Matthew Roy / For The Item

Comeau, however, came up with a pair of clutch saves on the 5-on-3 to thwart Saugus' chance to get even.

"Our PK has been solid all year," Conlon said. "We have a lot of guys who like to go out there and kill penalties."

Later in the first, Lynn was shorthanded again when Jack Carter was called for interference at 10:18. But the Jets turned the disadvantage into offense when Finnigan took the puck away at the Lynn blue line and maneuvered for a slap shot that whistled under the crossbar to make it 2-0 after one.

In need of a boost at the start of the second, Saugus got it early when Mike Green took a pass from Ralph Paglucca and beat Comeau inside the left post with a shot from the top of the left circle. Seconds later, Lynn was shorthanded again when Kyle Devin was called for charging.

At Connery Rink, the Jets (6-1) and the Witches (0-6) were tied at one a little more than five minutes into the first period before six unanswered Lynn goals extended the team's winning streak to five.

Jeff Porter tallied a pair of goals, and Mike Duggan, Terry Finnigan, D.J. Hunt, Kyle Devin and Max Wenzel each scored a goal apiece in the victory.
 

Lynn 4, Fenwick 0

At Connery Rink, the Jets (3-1) got scoring from four different players: Bucky Surette, Jeff Porter, John Finnigan and Kyle Martin. Craig McDaniel picked up the shutout.

"When we play an aggressive, in-your-face brand of hockey we can be very successful," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "It's all about being consistent in every shift."

Lynn 3, Methuen 1                  12/23/09

Bucky Surette scored two goals and assisted on the other to lead the Lynn Jets hockey team to a 3-1 win over Methuen Tuesday at Connery Rink.

Methuen broke the ice early with a first-period goal by Jared McAdam. The lead held up until late in the second period, when Ryan Powers came up with the equalizer on a power play. The assists went to Eric Bransfield and Surette.

Surette scored what would be the game-winner 33 seconds into the final period with Bransfield and Jeff Porter getting the assists. Surette added an insurance goal with Porter and Demetrius Polk picking up assists.

"We knew Methuen would play us tough. We always seem to play tight games against them," Jets coach Joe Conlon said. "We're playing aggressive hockey."

The Jets play Bishop Fenwick today at 4:30 p.m. at Connery Rink.
 

Marblehead 3, Lynn 1

At Rockett Arena in Salem, Kyle Martin netted the Jets' (1-1) lone goal. Jeff Porter picked up the assist. Craig McDaniel had a strong performance in net.

SALDANHA) Lynn Jets soar in opening win over Swampscott By Matthew Roy / For The Item, December 16, 2009 SALEM -- The schedule-makers didn't do the Lynn Jets any favors as they had the task of playing two-time defending Northeastern Conference/South champion Swampscott in the season opener on Wednesday at Salem State's Rockett Arena. Led by a 14-save shutout from Nick Comeau and a two-goal night by John Finnigan, the Jets snapped a four-game losing skid to the Big Blue with a 3-0 whitewashing. "This is a huge win for us," Lynn coach Joe Conlon said. "It's no secret in our locker room that they've had our number the last couple of years, so to come here and get a win is big." The Jets had to survive six Swampscott power play chances, including a 1:17 5-on-3 situation late in the third period, but used a stingy defense to kill every opportunity. "We just couldn't put the puck in the net," Swampscott coach Gino Faia said. "Obviously the power play wasn't clicking (Wednesday) and that's something we thought would be a plus." It was a stalemate for most of the first period until the final seconds when the Jets got a momentum-boosting goal. Eric Bransfield worked the puck out from behind the Lynn net to Jeff Porter on the right wing boards. Porter sent a long pass to a streaking Finnigan, who took the puck and roofed a backhander past Tyler Gallagher with 4.6 seconds left. "That was a great shot by John," Conlon said. "We always talk about the importance of the last minute of the period and the first minute of the next and that was huge for us." Swampscott had the better of the play for most of the second period despite being outshot 8-7 but Comeau came up huge time and again. No save was bigger than his glove stop on Gino Cresta's bomb late in the middle frame. "Nicky played great (Wednesday). We have a lot of trust in our goalies and he showed it again," Conlon said. Lynn started the third period on the power play but saw that go by the boards when Bucky Surette was called for cross-checking at the 25-second mark. Moments after the Swampscott power play expired, Finnigan was on the spot when Kyle Devin poked the puck out of a scrum to Gallagher's right for a slam dunk that made it 2-0. The rest of the night would be spent on pins and needles for the Jets as Swampscott got three more power play chances in the final six minutes of the game. But a stingy defense and Comeau's netminding held down the fort. Devin salted the game away with 15 seconds left with an empty-net tally.

Congratulations to the Lynn Jets Hockey Team for winning against Rockport in the Salem State College Jamboree on Sunday, 12/12.

Hockey Insider's Report with Mike Duggan

Mike  is happy to be back playing hockey this year and his hoping for a successful season. He will be playing defense on an ALL-STAR team of sorts, since they are the best players from all three Lynn high schools. Other Jet players from Classical include Terry Finnigan, forward;  John Finnigan, forward; Ryan Powers,  defense; Kyle Devin, forward; freshman Steve Peckovitch, forward;  Demetrios Polk, a transfer student from North Carolina ; and 'Beans', a goalie. (If someone knows Beans real name, or there are mistakes in this article, please email the info to brasss@lynnschools.org .)

Mike thinks we have a strong team, with a solid group of forwards coming back from last year. Outstanding scorer Jeff Porter, from English HS, is back. Craig McDaniels and Nicky Comeau are in the net. Last year, the team missed the playoffs by just 4 points and hope to make it to the State Championships this year.

The Hockey Team would love to have you see them in action this Sunday against Rockport, 4:30pm,  at Rockett Arena, in the Salem State College Jamboree .

Lynn Jets ready to take off !

By Joyce Erekson / The Daily Item

The Lynn Jets hockey team will hit the ice this season with plenty of experience up front thanks to a solid contingent of returning players.

Coach Joe Conlon will be counting on senior captain Jeff Porter, last year's leading scorer (10 goals, 8 assists), to lead the attack that will also include Chris "Bucky" Surette (5 goals, 6 assists) and brothers Terry and John Finnigan. As a freshman, John Finnigan had seven goals and two assists.

Conlon will also be looking for some offensive firepower from returning players Jack Carter and Jordan Morelli, as well as junior Kyle Martin, a transfer from St. Mary's.

Senior co-captain Eric Bransfield, who has been a fixture up front the past three years, could find himself shoring up the defense. The Jets lost three defensemen to graduation including Northeastern Conference All-Star Dave Stevens, who is now playing at Bridgton Academy in Maine; Sean Crowley; and Jack Erekson.

"We lost a lot of senior leadership on the blue line," Conlon said.

The offense also took a hit with the graduation of Danny Casale, Dylan Bogart, Matt Lunden and Mike Donovan.

The good news for Conlon is that he returns seniors Mike Duggan and Ryan Powers on defense, although Duggan has been hobbled by an injury. Conlon said he's hopeful Duggan will be ready by the first game.

"We're kind of crossing our fingers on that one," Conlon said.

The news gets even better when it comes to the goalie situation. Junior Nick Comeau, who logged the bulk of the minutes in net last year, is back along with Craig McDaniel, who also brings plenty of experience to the mix. James Wall, who was the third goalie last year, has graduated.

"We're confident in both of them," Conlon said.

The Jets finished 7-11-2 last season, missing the state tournament by four points. There will be a few new wrinkles on the schedule this year. The Jets will be playing in a tournament at Governor's Academy after Christmas where they'll face Bishop Fenwick in the first game and either Salem or Triton in the second. Conlon added two games against Somerville to go along with nonleague outings against Latin Academy and Methuen.

Conlon has decent numbers this year with 30 players showing up for tryouts. He said he's keeping about 26, which gives him enough to play a junior varsity schedule. Of the 26, he had nine freshmen, including Kyle Devin.

"We expect our forwards to produce a little more than last year and we expect our seniors to be leaders," Conlon said. "The schedule is tough right off the bat. We have to be ready. We have to put our best foot forward right away."

The Jets open Wednesday, Dec. 16, against Swampscott with Marblehead on tap a few days later.

Conlon returns his assistant coaches -- Mike Deering, Ron Gaudet, Brian Greeley (goalies) and Joe Gunning.
