Conway Land Title 15 vs Boilermakers 6

The Conway Attack seemed to come from every direction, as Jason Wiess lead the way with 4 goals and 4 assists. Nate Kallay (Wooster Oilers Junior A hockey team) and Paul McKito added a hat trick each for Conway. The brother/sister team of Neil (4 goals 4 assists) and Seanna Conway (1 goal 1 assist) helped pace the victors, while Joey Fratantonio (goalie for a Wisconsin Jr A team) stood tall in net. Lake Catholic’s keeper Rob Kish was tough in a hailstorm from all angles, with A.J. Bailey adding 4 goals in the effort for the Boilers, and finishing in the evening sun with a goal from Cole Horvath.
