Agents Win First Game of Challenge Cup

The fans attending the first game in the inaugural Bomber Challenge Cup-sponsored by Praxinet, marveled at what a great contest they had just seen. A high scoring affair between two uptempo clubs that, when all was said and done, was won by the Agents over Team Valley Sports.




The scoring started early with a Team Valley Sports goal just 3 mins and 19 secs into the a game that saw two evenly matched teams trading goals all night. Eric "Silk Hands" Hoyer netted that first tally and when asked how it felt to score the first goal of this historic tournament he simply stated, "I was in the right place at the right time." That's what the fans in the nearly full to capacity Twin Oaks Ice Rink felt themselves as they watched the teams play-they too were in the right place at the right time.

Unfortunately for Team Valley Sports that was the only lead they would see all night. The Agents had one goal leads on three different occasions only to see Team Valley Sports tie it up.

When the Agents took a penalty with 2:11 left in the game many felt Valley could push the game to overtime. But it was not to be, the Agents promptly scored shorthanded 9 seconds later and wound up winning by a 6-4 score.

Agents captain Marc Mezzacca would say when asked after the game about the honor of winning the tournament's first ever contest, "It was a good game."

That it was.


Next game in the tournament is Friday Jan 2nd @ 9:30- a game between The Bombers and Team Valley Sports.

Bears Take Bite out of Bombers Playoff Run

The Bomber Hockey Club was anxious to get back into the playoff picture and seemed poised to advance to the B2 championship after beating the Bears 7-3 in the last regular season game.

But the Bombers should have saved some of those goals for the playoffs, losing to the Bears 3-2 in a close playoff battle. The Bombers were able to tie the game twice with goals from Bobby Calvano, back after missing 5 straight games, and Mike Rosenberg.

But with 3 minutes remaing the Bombers got caught on the wrong side of a 2 on 1 break and fell behind for the third time in the contest. The Bomber faithful had some hope when the Bears took two consecutive penalties and faced a 5 on 3 shorthanded situation. But even with goalie Josh Burke pulled for a 6 on 3 advantage the Bombers were never able to control the puck. The Bears skilled #30 worked the top of the shorthanded triangle and fended off the Bombers advance on numerous occasions.

"It was a good season considering we were without Calvano and D'anna for most of the season and only had Mosser (Rich Moss) for the second half. And tonight being without Van der horn, Lawson and Smith was tough" said Bomber winger Mike Rosenberg after the game.

But the Bombers can build on a season that saw them raise their point total by a factor of 10 from the previous season. "I see 2009 as a big year on the ice for the Bombers" said Bomber GM Bill Auld.

Bomber Hockey-only a season away! Get your season tickets now and beat the holiday rush!!!

B2 Playoffs Approach

versus













The Bombers will face the Bears in the first round of the B2 Winter 08 playoffs. The pair of teams met in the last game of the regular season- a contest won 7-3 by the Bombers.

Game time Tuesday 12/16 10:15pm. Twin Oaks Ice Rink. Tickets still available.

Bombers Dominate Bears-Clinch Playoff Berth

M.Bochner, Jim Lawson and Rich Moss recorded a staggering 13 pts as a foward line on Sunday helping the Bombers clinch a playoff spot in the B2 championship series. Lawson and Bochner each had a hatrick on the night with Moss acting as the assist man with 4 helpers. Lawson added 3 assists of his own for a 6pt night.

The Time Line also recorded big numbers during the contest, racking up 22 minutes in penalties. Most of the confrontation revolved around some philosphical differences between The Rev. Mike Rosenberg and one Utah raised official that caused #3 to leave the precedings a tad early. Rosenberg took one for the team, or at least for #10-Superstar Johnny Z who escaped his second "yelling at the opponent" penalty of the night when Rosenberg successfully diverted the offical's attention.

But all's well that ends well (and a few seconds early). The Bombers should shape up to be the 7 seed- in all likelyhood facing these same Bears in the first round of playoff competition.

Game notes:

Adam Lapinski has a 2 game streak of shooting pucks at people not on the ice. Lapinski's target this week was an unaware scorekeeper who was briefly attended to by medical personnel but was fortunately able to finish his duties.

After the team defense let up 11 goals in the team's contest vs "the New" Dallas Wrecking" 2 games ago, Josh Burke has helped the team rebound with a solid stablizing performance of late.

Jim Lawson's 24pts are the most for a Bomber player since Mark Bochner's 26 pts in the spring of 2006.

Happy Thanksgiving Bombers

A happy and healthy Thanksgiving to all the Bomber faithful!!

Perhaps the Devil made them do it!

Even though, as they say, it's susposed to be "all in good fun", apparantly "the devil is in the details."

The Ice Devils that is, who recently were given the dubious distiction from by Bomber fans everywhere as the team's most heated rival. They earn that distinction with 64% of the vote. The Lightning, a Bomber rival from the early Chimney Rock days, came in a distant second with 21% of the votes.

Usually a rivalry is derived from two equally matched teams trading victiories. But the Ice Devil rivalry defies that tradition. Belezebub's skating minion of doom has not surrendered even a tie in their 14 career contests and many in the sporting world feel that the Ice Devils have been poaching the C-league market for victories for years. It is clearly this point that stirs the animosity of Bomber faithful. And they way the go about it doesn't help either. One reporter stated "The Ice Devils have as much subtlety as a wrecking ball crashing a china convention."

In their defense The Ice Devils are probably a team without a league suitable to their style. They are a formidable oppenent with high skill players, stong goaltending and well executed team game philosophy. Already kicked out of the Twin Oaks league once before their recent return, the team needs to find a league that better suits their game-a checking league for instance. The Ice Devils have been striving for the recognition that the Bombers have always been accustomed to and joining a more suitable division may be their first step.


In what may be a narrowing of the rift between the clubs, the Ice Devils have made accomodations recently- agreeing not to schedule games with the Bombers this season.

But for whatever reason the Ice Devils are still the yang to the Bombers ying.

Dallas Wrecking True to Their Name

The Dallas Wrecking hockey team did just as their name implies and lowered the boom with an 11-2 victory over an unsuspecting Bomber squad. "Dallas always likes to bring their best team when they play us" said Neil Van der horn of the Bombers. "They certainly did have a few stars that we had not seen before" added goaltender Josh Burke.

The most excitement the Bombers could muster was in the 2nd period when Gary Simpson of the Bombers was sent off the ice after an argument with a clearly exacerbated and vociferous official. As he came off the ice, Simpson was quoted as saying "what the #@*&&% should m##(*&^)) and is a mother #!!*&!! and what the #!!()** son of a !!(*$%!!." That being said he felt the game was fun.


















On to the Chiefs -Sunday November 30th @ 7pm.


Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Enjoy!

Bombers Put out Fire

6-5 may have been a closer score than they wanted but the Bombers still put up a solid effort in defeating the Metro Fire on Sunday night. Perhaps inspired by the appearance of Mike Gilbert,Sr behind the bench who is still on the DL, the Bombers had a balanced scoring attack that saw 2 goals each from the 3 foward lines. Only a few untimely team defensive lapses let the game get closer than it should have for the storied franchise.

Rich Moss rejuventated the historic "Kid Line" with his first game in over a month. Mark Bochner reaped the benefits scoring 2 goals. Brother Dave added 2 helpers on the night to reestablish this line as one of the premier trios in the league.

The "Time Line" was also intact for the first time in a while with all three members netting points. Simpson from Rosenberg and Rober'-how many times has a commentator uttered those words in various orders over the past 10 years!!

And not to be left out, the newly formed Auld,Lawson,Van der horn line whose nickname has yet to be coined, provided production scoring 2 goals and 4 points. Van der horn's burying of a Bill Auld rebound in the 2nd period tied a game that the Bomber's never trailed afterwards.

And don't let the 5 goals against fool you, the D core was solid as well breaking the puck out of the zone in exciting fashion. Rookie defenseman Adam Lapinski seemed to be benefitting from the veteran tutelage of Superstar Johnny Z as was evident in the play of the pair in all 3 zones.

Josh Burke saw plenty of shots and after letting up 2 early scores was primarily in control for the rest of the evening.

So its on to Dallas Wrecking on Thursday.

Bombers Voted NJ's Best Adult Hockey Club

In dominating fashion the Bomber Hockey Club was recently voted by the fans as NJ's Most Popular Adult Hockey franchise with a whopping 92% of the vote. "It's really amazing when you sit back and look what we have accomplished and how we relate to the fan base in NJ" said Bomber GM Bill Auld.

The Bombers have long been the example of a model franchise and will celebrate 15 years as a club later this year. "We have championships which is great, but it really is team and alumni participation in the orginazation" said Bomber VP Mike Rosenberg.

The acknowledgement is another feather in the cap of an organization that looks to have a bright future ahead.

Bombers Fall 4-3

The "storied franchise" let one slip away last night, falling 4-3 to the Bears. The Bombers opened the scoring with 2 in the first period only to see the Bears run off 4 straight goals including 2 third period tallies.

The Bombers had played a solid game throughout behind a strong performance by goaltender Marc Mezzacca. But the Bears goaltender was even stronger in defense of a Bomber squad that outshot its opponent by 12 on the night.

Jimmy Lawson scored his 2nd goal with 53 seconds remaining to draw within one but the final Bomber flurry was thwarted at mid-ice leaving the Bombers looking up at the 500 mark at 2-4-2.

Next up: the Metro Fire on Sunday Nov. 16th @ 8:45.

Another Tie For Bombers

The Bombers recorded their second 5-5 tie of the season on Sunday in a matinee contest vs the Metro Fire. The game started strangely with goaltenders from both teams not on the ice at the start of the game. Apparantly there was a goaltender convention earlier in the day that both were attending and the "Why Goalies are Mental" lecture let out late.

The "storied franchise" needed two 3rd period goals from Mike Rosenberg and Jimmy Lawson to draw the contest even.

Next up-Bombers v Metro Fire part 2 on Tuesday at 10pm.

Bomber Lose 1st Game this Season

Looking to continue on the success of their first two games, the Bombers came into their contest with the Mountaineers with some momentum. But a nine spot from the skilled Mountaineer squad-a team whose paperwork to advance to the upper division seems to get misplaced each year.

The Bombers were able to put up 6 goals of their own including 4 in a row by Jimmy Lawson. The season record for the red, yellow and blue is now 1-1-1.

Bombers Strong in 6-4 Victory

The Bomber Hockey Club got their first win of the season in a solid effort against the venerable Chief's. The matchup pitted two teams with long NJ adult hockey histories.

The Bombers had the early lead but three 3rd period goals brought the Chiefs to within one with 6 minutes to play. Mark Bochner of the Bombers was able to provide a cushion at the 4:16 mark on a feed from Jim Lawson. The Bomber D held on from there and the first win of the season was in the books.

Bombers Start New Season with a Tie

The Bomber Hockey Club let up 5 1st period goals vs Dallas Wrecking and trailed 5-1 deep into the second period. But goaltender Josh Burke shut the door in the final two periods and with the goalie pulled, Adam Lapinski scored with 56 seconds remaining to tie the game at 5. The goal was the Bombers 4th unanswered and got them their first point of the season.

Besides Lapinski's goal, the Bombers recieved scoring from Rosenberg, Simpson and 2 goals from Lawson.

Let's Play Some Hockey!!

What turned out to be a unexpectedly interesting and long offseason for the Bomber Hockey club is about to come to an end. The Bombers are poised to embark on its 38th season that will see the orginization celebrate its 15th birthday.














After 2 months since their last game the Bomber Hockey Club will suit up once again to start the Winter '08/09 season on Monday September 22nd @ 10:00pm. Legions of Bomber fans have awaited the return of the "Storied Franchise", looking foward to their game that is coincidentally against the same Dallas Wrecking team they played in their last game in July.

Tickets are still available.

Season Ends Mercifully

Ok-here's a brief synopsis of the end of the Spring 08 season.

After the Ice Devil game we lost to the Chatham Coaches 5-2-Jimmy nearly lost a finger and-we shoulda beat em.

Then we lost to the league leading Rocks 6-3 with like 7 guys-Bill got lots of penalties-no surprise there-could have beat em.

Then we lost to the Shamrocks -not the Rocks but the Shamrocks, with like 8 guys- 10-0-ouch-should not have had to play em and could never have beat em.

Then we lost to the Mountaineers 4-2, good game, no penalties-should of beat em.

Then back to 7 guys-lost to Dallas 5-1. Oops.

So on to next season. The Bombers will have the month of August to revitalize their energy, with the new season starting in September. New league setups and new referee assigners are all promised to the Bomber hockey orginization.

Stay tuned for season ending stats!!

Ice Devils 4 in First Too Much For Bombers

The Ice Devils rattled off 4 first period goals en route to an 8-4 win on tuesday. The Bombers were able to tie the remaining two periods on 4goals by Jimmy Lawson, but the hole was too deep.

Whenever these two teams meet, penalty minutes are usually high and it looked like that may not be the case for the first two periods that saw 2mins in power play time for each squad. But the third period proved formulaic when the clubs and their captains exchanged verbal and physical shots at each other.

Next game is Tuesday June 24th v the Chatham Coaches in what can only be called a must win situation.

Bombers Put Out Fire 5-2

Now were talking. The Bombers got their first win of the spring '08 season with a solid 2 way performance. The 5-2 victory was as much of a must win you can have this early in the season.

The Bombers left the first period ahead 3-0 and managed to hold serve the next two periods for the 5-2 win. Jimmy Lawson again provided some scoring with 3 goals and perhaps more notably was able to finish the game with nary a penalty minute. Josh Burke played a solid game in net allowing only 2 goals. Bill Auld from the d-line had 3 assists on the night and Mike Rosenberg and Rich Moss rounded out the goal scoring.

Next up for the Bombers is a tough matchup with the Ice Devils. This reporter feels a change in fortune will come on Tuesday against their nemesis. Good luck Bombers!

Bombers Fall 5-3 to Angry Bears

The Bomber hockey club players are getting tired of moral victories. After falling 5-3 to an ever angry Bears team, Bomber alt. capt. Mark Bochner said-"We need to start winning those games. We are playing better than the outcome."

The Bombers held an early 2nd period 2-1 lead but as has been the case this season the opponents scored 3 goals in a row. Now down 4-2 halfway through the third, Bomber defensemen Neil Van der horn stepped up, making a stellar blueline save to keep the puck in the attacking zone. #5 then sent the puck deep and with the Bears caught by surprise the Bombers executed a sweet tick-tack-toe play from behind the net. Rober' completed the play by burying the puck in the twine. The scoresheet read Rosenberg to Junior to Rober and the Bomber bench now had life down a goal.

A Bear penalty with 1:19 remaining gave the storied franchise a chance at the seasons first win. With no timeouts remaining, confusion set in on whether to pull the goalie. With a 2 man disadvantage the Bears still were able to clear the zone and put the biscuit in the empty basket.

The third period was marred by a confrontation between Jimmy Lawson and the Bear's goaltender. With punches thrown by both players and with the initial penalty going to the goaltender, the Bomber's were obviously intrigued when the Stripes gave the netminder 8 minutes and Lawson 16 minutes.

So as is the Bomber credo, another chance is "only a week away". Next game Wed June 11th 10:30 versus the improved Metro Fire.

15-5 Is No Way to Start a Season

Well hopefully there is some good times ahead. The Bombers lost the first 2 games of the Spring 08 season by a combined score of 15-5. First the Bombers lost to the B-Rocks 7-2 and then followed that up with a 8-3 defeat against the hand of those hated Mountaineers. With the B and C leagues merged for Spring 08 the Bombers will have to raise their game. Their first chance to do that will be June 3 vs the Bears.
