Horde Take Down Rivals - Beat Diablos 6-1

St. Louis Park – Saturday, December 12, 2009.  It was old home week as the Northern Horde faced their beginner school rivals, the Diablos.  Needless to say it was more of the same.  The first period was scoreless until Jon Zimmerman entered the game and fed Gary Speier on the run who knocked the pass out of the air and buried it for his first goal for the crimson and white at 1:11.  Zimmerman’s absence was due to “forgetting his skates;” however, Liam Monahan noted Zimmerman made it to the ice much too quickly for a round trip drive to St. Paul.  Dan Bolles  scored early in the second on a Liam Monahan pass, but the Diablos quickly answered.  The Diablos sub-goalie played very well in the game and kept the Horde at bay even though they had significant chances.  Finally, the Horde figured out how to beat the Diablos’ goalie and the floodgates opened in the third period.  Brian Hinderks put on a one-man show beating three Diablos with a great move from the point.  Two minutes later, Jon Nygren scored his first of the season with a blast from two inches (yes, the puck was touching the goal line).  Chris Haack and Dan Bolles added goals later in the period, capping off a four point night for Bolles.  The Diablos were able to shut down Jeff Nelson on the night, but had no answer for the rest of the team as the Northern Horde outshot the Diablos 48-14.  Netminder Pete Morrow was strong again between the pipes and had no problem finishing three pitchers at Bunny’s post-game. 

 

 

 

 

  Jeff Nelson opened the scoring at 15:47 of the first period with a breakaway goal set up a strong pass from Chris Haack.  The Ice Sages quickly tied it at one all.  After he banged one off the post two minutes later, Jon Zimmerman knocked in a Dan Kline pass from behind the net to put the Horde out in front at 9:45 of the first period.  The only goal in the second came from Jeff Nelson unassisted.  Early in the third¸ Jeff Nelson scored his first hat trick for the Horde, with Dan Kline getting his second assist of the night.  However, the Horde were not able to hold off the Sages for the rest of the period and gave up two goals.  The overtime was uneventful and the Horde walked away with one point.

Horde Let's Down Guard Late - Draws 4-4 with the Ice Sages

St. Paul Academy (Drake) – Wednesday, December 2, 2009.  In a physical game with two broken sticks and a few roughing penalties, the Northern Horde skated to a 4-4 tie with the Ice Sages.  Jeff Nelson opened the scoring at 15:47 of the first period with a breakaway goal set up a strong pass from Chris Haack.  The Ice Sages quickly tied it at one all.  After he banged one off the post two minutes later, Jon Zimmerman knocked in a Dan Kline pass from behind the net to put the Horde out in front at 9:45 of the first period.  The only goal in the second came from Jeff Nelson unassisted.  Early in the third¸ Jeff Nelson scored his first hat trick for the Horde, with Dan Kline getting his second assist of the night.  However, the Horde were not able to hold off the Sages for the rest of the period and gave up two goals.  The overtime was uneventful and the Horde walked away with one point.

Horde's D Stands Strong

Sunday, November 22, 2009, Highland Park (North Rink).  For the second week in a row, the Northern Horde defense stole the show and held the Maroons to one goal in a 5-1 win.  The scoring started early in the first when Jeff Nelson knocked down an ill advised pass from the Maroons defenseman and took it to the house to get the scoring started.  With the pressure mounting in the Maroons defensive end, Horde defensemen Tyler LaMont and Suneel Arora held the puck in at the point and fed wing Dan Bolles who beat the Maroons netminder.  Less than a minute later, defensemen Brian Hinderks picked up a Chris Haack pass in the high slot and ripped another goal giving the Horde a 3-0 lead in the first period.  At 15:26 of the second period, the Horde gave up their first shot on goal, which caught a napping Pete Morrow by surprise.  That would be the only puck to get past Morrow on a night where he would ultimately face 15 shots.  In the third, the Horde scored again when Liam Monahan, who has been on fire the past two games, scored his first goal of the season, with assists from Dana Cudo and Tyler LaMont.  Jon Zimmerman’s shot from the slot was slowed slightly by the Maroons netminder, but winger Mark Paska skated in to push it into the open net to get his first of the season to seal the victory.  Liam Monahan had the second assist on that final goal giving him a two point night.  Overall, the Horde’s forwards really stepped it up.  Will Schultz was knocking people all over the ice and Jon Nygren twice hit the post.  The D was suffocating as Dan Kline put the Maroons forwards on lock down.

Northern Horde Crush Cats

Saturday, November 17, Wakota (South St. Paul) – The energy level was high for the late night start and the Horde didn’t waste any time jumping all over the Wildcats.  30 seconds into the game Jeff Nelson put one past Wildcats netminder Casey Johnson.  Six minutes later, Tyler LaMont scored off a David Homel pass to put the Horde up 2-0.  Early in the second, the Horde drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Wildcats and Dana Cudo tipped Tyler LaMont’s shot from the point off a Jon Nygren feed to give the Horde a commanding three goal lead.  With only 3 seconds to go in the third period, Jeff Nelson scored his fifth of the season off Jon Zimmerman’s face off win to put the game away.  The Horde surrendered one in the third after captain Jon Zimmerman opened his mouth about protecting goalie Pete Morrow’s shutout, but the 33-12 shot count could not be ignored by the packed house at Wakota.  Dan Kline commented “This was the most completed game we played.”  Wildcats player Tim Meehan noted “The Horde D was suffocating, we couldn’t break out the puck all night.”  Jon Zimmerman said “When did Liam Monahan learn to play hockey?  He was all over the ice tonight creating chances and foiling the Cats – he really stepped up his game.”   Sunday, the Horde take on the Maroons at Highland with a 9:10 pm start and the Northern Horde are eagerly anticipating the return of Dan Bolles and Will Schultz to the lineup.  The Maroons lost the D2 championship game last year and the Horde are expecting a tough game.

Hounds Edge Horde

Saturday, November 7, St. Louis Park - Coming off a 2-2 tie against Chaos, the Northern Horde played another close one only to lose at the end to the Puck Hounds 5-3. Only 18 seconds into the game, the Hounds got an open shot in the slot and beat Pete Morrow for an early 1-0 lead. After the Hounds pressured the Horde for 9 minutes, Brian Hinderks unloaded from the point on a nice feed from David Homel to tie it up. In an evenly played second period, each team scored with the Horde's goal coming from Jeff Nelson who picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and beat the Hounds goalie with his backhand. The Hounds took the lead early in the third but Jon Zimmerman answered quickly taking the puck up the right side and putting a wrist slot between the goalie's blocker and glove near post. Unfortunately, with less than 6 minutes to go in the game, the Hounds scored again and the Northern Horde had no answer. An empty netter in the last minute sealed the game for the Puck Hounds.
The Horde next face the Wildcats Saturday, November 14, at Wakota at 10:10 start.

Horde Join D2 - Tie Defending Champs in Opener

The league office gave the Northern Horde a warm welcome to D2 by scheduling their opener against the defending champion Chaos.  These teams squared off in a pre-season scrimmage where Chaos completely controlled the play.   However, the Horde stepped up to the challenge on Sunday night and in an evenly played game drew 2-2.  The Horde gave up the first goal at 2:18 of the first period, but the Horde responded at 16:47 in the second period when Dan Bolles picked the puck up from behind the net and fed Jeff Nelson who beat the Chaos goalie to tie the game.  The pace of play picked up and Chaos scored again at 7:57 of the second.  However, a scant four minutes later, Bolles again found Nelson, this time in the slot, and the Horde evened the score.  In the third period and the overtime, each team had some good chances, but neither could beat the goalies, who both played tough all night.  Pete Morrow played his best game for the Horde to date, facing 25 Chaos shots and allowing only two goals.  

The Horde scrimmage the Ice Sages on Monday, November 2 at 10:10 pm at Hopkins Pavilion and then face the Puck Hounds at 6:00 pm on Saturday, November 7 at St. Louis Park (west rink).

Schedule's Out

After a strong inaugural summer season that saw the Horde go 8-1 against the Diablos, including winning the beginner league championship, the Horde are once again ready to take the ice.

Roster Changes
With Liza Messinger and Andrew Dayton off to school, the team seamlessly added new members Suneel Arora (joining us from the Snowmen), Dana Cudo (Walking Sticks) and Chris Haack strengthening the Horde defense as well as adding scoring to the front lines. Gary Speier and Jeff Cook join the Horde as subs from the Snowmen, bringing much needed physical presence to the team. Bill Messinger rejoined the team following a lengthy rehab.

Pre-season Wrap Up
During the pre-season, the Horde skated evenly with the Wildcats and Chaos and wrapped up with a strong performance beating the Fighting Loons with a hat trick from Dan Bolles and two goals from Jeff Nelson. Jon Nygren scored in each pre-season game giving the Horde another potent scoring threat and Pete Morrow backstopped the Horde with two strong performances.

Schedule
The first two weeks of the schedule are out the Northern Horde open with Chaos D2 at Richfield on Sunday, October 25 at 8:45 pm. The Horde expect a stiff challenge as Chaos is the reigning D2 champions and looked strong in a pre-season scrimmage against the Horde where the Horde narrowly escaped with a 6-5 win. Following a bye week, on Saturday, November 7 the Horde face the Puck Hounds, another team expected to be in contention come playoff time. The Hounds were in the playoff hunt last year and return nearly their entire team.

Northern Horde - Champions!

Wednesday, August 26, 2009, St. Louis Park Ice Arena (east rink) - Champions! Say it again, Champions! Following eight tough games (and one scrimmage) against the Diablos hockey club, the Northern Horde claimed victory with a 6-1 defeat of the Diablos in the B-school championship game. After relentless pressure throughout the first period, which saw captain Jon Zimmerman shoot four easy opportunities into the chest of Diablos goalie Steve Peterson, defensemen Dan Kline opened the scoring at 5:50 of the first period with a slap shot from the point off a nice feed from Tyler LaMont. In the second period, the Horde scored again when center Mark Paska took a feed from Jon Nygren at 16:04 and beat the Diabols' goalie for a 2-0 lead. Shea Moyer scored at 15:32 to bring the Diablos within one, but at 5:24, the Horde answered with a Brian Hinderks goal set up by Dan Bolles. Bolles then led a strong shift at the end of the second period winning a face-off at 0:26 to Liam Monahan who fired a shot from the high slot past the goalie, showing his value to the Horde after a 3 week trip in California. A mere 23 seconds later, Jeff Nelson picked up the puck and drove hard to the net scoring to put the Horde up 5-1. The Horde controlled play in the third period and their effort paid off when left wing Jon Nygren forced a turnover at center ice that Jon Zimmerman picked up and slid past goalie Peterson for a 6-1 victory.
Following the game, a few bottles of $7 champagne were consumed in the parking lot, primarily by Dan Kline's friend, Martine. The Horde celebrated their 8-1 record against the Diablos. Jeff Nelson led the beginner league with 12 goals on the season and Dan Bolles led the league with 8 assists. Jeff Nelson and Jon Zimmerman led the league with 17 points. Pete Morrow led the league with a 2.78 GAA and a 7-1 record, to go with his 0.812 save percentage.
This was Liza Messinger's final game with the Horde as she leaves for Middlebury next week; she will be missed. The Horde are excited to welcome four new players to the roster for the fall season - Dana Cudo, Chris Haack, Suneel Arora and Jeff Cook. Cook and Arora fortify the strong Horde defense following an 0-20 campaign with the Abominable Snowmen in the 2008-09 AHA winter league. Cudo and Haack will strengthen the Horde's attack, with Dana coming off a summer season L5 championship with the Walking Sticks and Chris joining the league for the first time bringing his experience coaching Como mites hockey to the Horde (who skate like mites). With the new additions, the Horde are well positioned for the 2009-10 D2 winter season, where they will work to unseat the reigning champions, Chaos.
Go Horde!

Horde Drop Second Straight - First Loss to Diablos

It was an off night for the boys (and lady) in white, as the Northern Horde lost their first game to the Diablos during the summer B-school season.  Diablos forward Dmitry Tovb was out with a shoulder injury sustained in Monday’s L5 playoffs opening round, and perhaps Dmitry’s missing physical play made the Horde play soft.

The Horde knew they were facing a rejuvenated Diablos who played a strong game in the L5 playoffs, until the Butterflies scored a few in the third period to bust it open.  In the first period, the majority of  play was in the neutral zone, but the Diablos managed three goals on four shots and took a 3-0 lead to the last minute of the period when center Andrew Dayton, playing his last game for the Horde, scored off a Tyler LaMont pass from behind the net to bring the Horde to within two.  In the second period, the neither side looked particularly impressive.  In the third period, the Horde turned it up and kept play almost entirely within the Diablos zone.  However, the Horde were not able to mount a comeback and the game ended with a 3-1 loss.  For the game, the Horde outshot the Diablos 27-8, but were unable to put the shots where they count – in the back of the net. 

A special thanks to Andrew Dayton who finished his Northern Horde career with 6 goals and 5 assists in 9 games.  He departs for his second year of law school at Michigan soon and will not make the championship game.  The Northern Horde look forward to the B-school championship on Wednesday, August 26, at 8:00 pm at St. Louis Park.  Bill Messinger is expected to return for the Horde making his first appearance of the season.  Will Bill be enough to turn the tide in the Horde’s favor?

Dung Beetles Hand Horde First Loss

Despite a valiant effort that saw the Horde put up 37 shots, the 10 skaters on the Horde bench could not hold off the Dung Beetles in the first round of the L5 summer playoffs and lost 6-3.  The Dung Beetles opened the scoring at 11:01 of the first period when a shot from the point took a bad bounce and was deflected by goalie Peter Morrow into the goal.  The Horde drew two penalties but were unable to capitalize and the Dung Beetles pounced on a loose puck and put it in late in the period to go up 2-0.

In the second period, despite outshooting the Dung Beetles, the Horde have up two more goals and opened the third trailing 4-0.  Finally, the Horde offense took life in the game.  Mark Paska opened the scoring at 11:58 of the third banging home a nice pass from Brian Hinderks.  4 minutes later, Jeff Nelson put in the rebound off a Jon Zimmerman shot from the point and followed that up with a goal of a series of passes from Dan Bolles and Jon Nygren.  The Horde ultimately lost 6-3, but it was a good effort with a short bench, evidenced by the Horde keeping most of the play in the Dung Beetles’ end and outshooting the Dung Beetles in every period.

The Horde return to the ice Wednesday at Breck at 9:30 pm against their archrivals, the Diablos.  This is the Horde’s final tune-up before the B-school championship on August 26.

Big Third Period Keeps Horde Undefeated

A shorthanded Northern Horde battled hard through the first two periods Wednesday night before breaking the game open in the third period. Tyler LaMont opened the scoring at 12:07 of the first period. The Diablos quickly answered to tie the game. Later in the first, Jeff Nelson scored two goals 33 seconds apart, with the second on an assist from Ryan Chester, to put the Horde up 3-1. Dmitry Tovb of the Diablos scored the only goal of the second period to make it a 3-2 game. Early in the third period, the Horde faced nearly 2 minutes of 5 on 3 hockey when Tyler LaMont was called for Interference, followed quickly by an Andrew Dayton roughing call in the Horde offensive zone (a stupid penalty, but the correct call). The Horde nearly killed the penalty, but Joe Gandsey was able to tie the game for the Diablos.
Following those penalties, the Horde offense came alive. Liza Messinger scored her first goal for the brick red at 12:19 of the third on a nice pass from Jeff Nelson. She followed that up with her second goal on an assists from Dan Bolles and Mark Paska. Dan Bolles would then twice feed Andrew Dayton for goals in the third period and Mark Paska slipped an unassisted goal past Diablos' keeper Steve Peterson. The 11 skaters for the Horde were exhausted come the end of the game, but their hard work paid off with another victory taking the Horde's record to 6-0 on the 8-3 win.
On Sunday night, the Horde enter the L5 AHA summer playoffs facing the Dung Beetles at Wakota (rink 1). The Horde expect to skate only 10 on the night as a number of players are either nursing injuries or unavailable. This should be a tough test . . .

Morrow Posts First Shutout

Pete Morrow played his finest game in goal Monday night backstopping the Horde to a 2-0 win against our rivals, the Diablos, at Wakota.  This was the first B-school shutout of the season and Pete’s first career shutout.  While the defense of Ryan Chester, Dan Kline, Brian Hinderks and Tyler LaMont had a strong night limiting the Diablos to 13 shots, the Horde offense looked sluggish throughout.

The first period ended scoreless, with both teams limited to low quality shots.  Andrew Dayton scored the first goal of the night for the Horde six minutes into the second period on a beautiful pass from a streaking Dan Bolles, who picked up the puck on a David Homel pass.  The Horde had two good scoring chances later in the period when they drew two consecutive tripping penalties, but were not able to capitalize. In the third period, Jon Nygren stole the puck from a Diablos defenseman and fed Dan Bolles for his second point of the night.

All in all, the Horde hung in for an impressive victory against a rejuvenated Diablos who had their goalie, Steve Peterson, back in net for the first time in a few weeks.  We rematch on Wednesday night at Breck.

Horde's Winning Ways Continue

Tyler LaMont led the Horde charge with the second Horde hat trick in history.  The scoring opened at 14:11 of the first period with a Jon Zimmerman goal which was set up by Andrew Dayton stealing the puck behind the net and making a tough pass to Jeff Nelson who slid the puck to Zimmerman in the slot.  At 10:17 of the first period, Brian Hinderks got on the board with a beautiful end-to-end rush.  Jeff Nelson put the Horde up 3-0 at 9:33 of the 1^st.  The Diablos rebounded at 8:15 and 7:02 with goals by Joe Gandsey and Shea Moyer of the Diablos.  The Horde then stepped it up with back-to-back goals by Tyler LaMont, including a slap shot from the point and a sweet deke.  His first goal came on the power play following a rough hit on Dan Kline against the boards.  Jon Zimmerman followed his own rebound in the third period after picking up the puck following a good defensive play to dislodge it from the Diablos by Brian Hinderks.  Tyler LaMont put up his third of the night in the third period and Andrew Dayton put in the final goal of the night set up by Tyler LaMont and Liam Monahan. 

Jon Nygren had an assist on LaMont’s first goal and led a strong fore-check by the Horde forwards – this may have been Nygren’s break out night.  He was also likely pumped by the thought of his Colt 45 12 pack chilling in the trunk of his car.  David Homel returned to the lineup and set up some good scoring chances for the Horde. The defense was tough again all night as Ryan Chester helped limit the Diablos to only 9 shots on the night.  Dan Bolles had a number of key defensive plays from the center position to keep Pete Morrow undefeated in net.

Horde Win Big

Another big night for the Northern Horde, as they skated to an 11-1 win over the Diablos on July 28 at Breck.  With Pete Morrow out with an ankle injury, Casey Johnson of the Walking Sticks/Wildcats filled in admirably.  The Horde controlled the play of the game, out shooting the Diablos 42-12.  Mark Paska opened the scoring at 13:47 of the first when he stuck a loose puck under the pads of the Diablos’ goalie.  That was followed by two goals from Jon Zimmerman, including a breakaway set up by a strong defensive play by Will Schultz at the defensive blue line, and Dan Kline’s first goal of the night.  Andrew Dayton scored his first goal for the Horde at 16:09 of the second on a sweet put back off a shot from Will Schultz that was created by Ryan Chester’s good defensive positioning.  This highlighted a three point night for Andrew.  That was followed by two goals from Jeff Nelson, including a slap shot off the face-off, and two goals from Tyler LaMont.  Will Schultz scored his first goal for the Horde at 1:33 of the second period with a beautiful assist from Andrew Dayton.  Dan Kline scored his second of the night in the third period off a Liam Monahan feed.  In all, 11 of the 13 Horde skaters got a point on the evening as the defense again kept the Diablos in check, including a few hard hits from Liza Messinger.  We play the Diablos again at 9:30 on Wednesday, August 5 at 9:30 at Breck.

No Game - But Lots of Tired Folks

Friends and Family Night, Sunday, July 26, was a fun event for the Horde faithful.  The house was packed at Bloomington Ice Gardens.  Since no referees were present, the game was a scrimmage and no official stats were kept.  However, we played three physical 20 minutes periods against the Diablos, which ended in a 2-2 tie on the scoreboard (though it was really a 3-2 Horde win).   Will Schultz netted his first goal for the mighty Horde and Bill Messinger made his first Horde appearance, albeit on the Horde bench while he continues to recover from injury.  The Horde skated with a short bench of 10 skaters, including Liam Monihan’s first game at defense, but it did not matter as we held the Diablos to only 2 goals. 

We take the ice Wednesday at Breck – 9:30 start.

Go Horde!

Horde Are 3-0!

On Wedensday night, July 22, the Northern Horde again turned in a strong, but balanced, performace.  For the first time in Horde history, we opened the scoring with a Dan Kline goal at 13:31 of the 1st period. After the Horde put up a 5-0 lead in the first period on goals by Liam Monahan, Jeff Neslon and two from Jon Zimmerman, the Diablos got on the board with Dan Mueller’s first goal and followed that with a goal by Diablo Dmitry Tovb.  Jeff Nelson added his second goal of the night for the Horde in the second period, where the Diablos outplayed the Horde. 

 

In the third period, the Horde responded well with Dan Kline’s second goal of the night, as well as goals from Tyler LaMont, Brian Hinderks and Dan Bolles.  Brother/Sister combination Andrew Dayton and Liza Messinger picked up assists on the final goal of the night – Liza’s first point in the brick red and white.  With that point, all Horde skaters who have appeared in a game have picked up a point, showing the balanced nature of the Horde attack. 

 

The defense was again strong, limiting the Diablos to 12 shots on goal.  Pete Morrow picked up his third win in goal and had a handful of great stops on the night.  The Diablos continue to put up a strong fight, but the Horde's winning ways continued.

 

On Sunday night, the Horde againt take on the Diablos - at 6:45 pm at Bloomington.  It’s friends and family night and the Horde expect a big crowd (by AHA beginner school standards), even though the Horde expect a short bench.   Go Horde!

Big Horde Victory

The Horde stepped it up Wednesday night with a strong 8-3 victory over the Diablos. After falling behind 1-0, the Horde again answered the call quickly. After trading goals with the Diablos, Liam Monahan scored his first goal for the Horde to tie it up. Then, the scoring continued, culminating with Will Schultz's first point for the Horde on Zimmerman's 3rd goal of the night. Mark Paska and Jeff Nelson each scored for the second consecutive game and Tyler LaMont picked up his first goal for the Brick Red and White.

The true stars again were the Horde's stingy defense of LaMont, Hinderks, Chester and Kline, which allowed only 3 goals and 20 shots. Pete Morrow's undefeated season continued.
