Regular Season Update

Tony Ho’s Division II Dragons have started off the season 2-4-1 after going 1-1-1 at the 422 Sportsplex event this passed weekend in Pottstown PA. The A team battled back to gain a point against stubborn Binghamton to keep them right in the thick of things in the Liberty Conference of the ECRHA. Pete Psyrris and Captain Chris Adams lead the team with 14 points each and goaltender Jim Heisler is second in the league in saves with 187 as the club prepares for their first travel tournament of the season in two weeks in Old Bethpage NY at Skate Safe America on November 21st-22nd.

The Dragons start off the weekend with a 1PM contest with Vermont (1-2-1), followed by an evening showdown at 6PM with the Terriers from Boston (2-2-0). Sunday’s schedule includes an early, 8AM faceoff with the University of Maine (1-2-1) followed by a noontime matchup against Albany (1-3-0).

Coach Ness’s PCRHL teams are both .500 and find themselves among the league’s elite in all categories. His Tier 1 Dragons lost a close, hard fought battle 4-3 against Penn and all their snipers, keeping league scoring leader and defending point champ, Perry Clarkson to zero points in the contest. The Tier 2 club had its hands full with a tough West Chester club and fell 5-1.

This weekend (11/15) will see the Tier 1 team battle Villanova at 2PM and Tier 2 take on Rowan at 3PM at the Marple Sports Arena. Good luck to all!

Regular Season Events Underway!

All of the DURHC teams will be opening regular season play this coming weekend, October 24th and 25th at the Marple Sports Arena in Broomall PA.

After an impressive preseason showing, Tony Ho’s Division II squad opens their season with a preaseason rematch against rival Temple at 8:00 AM on Saturday the 24th, followed by a showdown with division powerhouse, Neumann University, at 2:00 PM. Sunday will prove to be a challenge as well, as the Dragon’s A team faces off against head coach Ho’s alma mater, Millersville, bright and early at 7:00 AM, followed by another showdown with West Chester at 1:00 PM.

Head Coach Chris Ness’s Tier I and Tier II PCRHL teams will also open regular season play this coming weekend, with their times and opponents still yet to be determined. Coach Ness has a good returning cast of veterans as well as a promising core of underclassmen. This synergy will prove to restore Drexel as a mainstay in the PCRHL elite.

Good luck to all teams this season! For information on how to support your Dragon Roller Hockey program, please contact President Jim Heisler (president@durhc.com) for more information.
