Win Winter 2002 F Dek Championship (4/12/02) The Dragons tonight won the Winter 2002 F Dek Championship with a rousing 7-3 routing of Tsunami. Led by MVP Mike Connors' 2 goals, the Dragons completely dominated Tsunami from the second period on. In a game in which Arena officials anticpated a close overtime game, the Dragons routed the #1 seed in the third an deciding contest. Also scoring tonight were Jim Gaglione, Dennis Connors, Steve Lamonica, Mike G. and Keith Burr. In an Emmy Award like snubbing, once again Dennis Connors was robbed of the MVP Award, this time by his very own brother. The Dragons have now won their second Championship in three seasons. While roster changes are inevitable, they see Kathy Higgins and Keith Burr leave the team after many seasons. Management wishes them well and good luck as the Zoo has resureccted itself like the Pheonix in the E division. Captain Dave Carter was quoted later "after waiting for so long to even win one championship, to win two in three seasons is just incredible." Team management also wishes to recognize another champioship by Dennis Connors and his E.H. Blades team in the D Roller Division. And wish them good luck in their move to the Glastonbury rink.

Spencer Gets W in Net (3/18/02) Sporting new Jerseys and a new goalie, the Dragons won a well earned victory over the Wolfpack last night, 5-2. With Dave Spencer in net, Mike Connors and Jim Gaglione provided the offense last night in the W. Playing with only 1 sub, the new look Dragons outplayed and outlasted the Wolfpack. Connors' hattrick led the way with Gaglione getting pair of goals. But the surprise of the night was the 35 saves in net by Dave Spencer. Using almost every part of his body to protect the lead he frustrated the opposition all night long. The Dragons close out the regular season next sunday against B&W at 8PM.
