With evenly matched benches filled with a combination of alums and current players, the 12th annual Madison Warhawk Alumni game was fast paced and remained close through all three periods. The teams repeatedly swapped leads and neither team was able to get more than a 2 point lead. Team Light moved ahead with just a minute to go in the third but Team Dark would not be denied. Spurred on by a visit to the bench from former head coach, Ed Cass, Team Dark alumni led a last ditch drive ending in a goal at the buzzer to tie it up 7-7. During a lengthy shoot-out sequence Team Light prevailed with their final shot, winning 8-7. The evening was a success with 22 alumni in attendance representing graduating classes from as far back as 2003 and 13 current players including freshman that will graduate in 2020.
Past players in attendance were: Alex Herrmann, Ben Headley, Brian Chrostowski, Daniel MacCall, Fraser Chalmers, Jason Happ, Kyle Headley, Matthew Bacigalupo, Max McCool, Theo Lenz, Thomas Brooks, Zachary Shiohama, Dylan Cass, Matt Bacigalupo, Thomas Brooks, Robby Harris, Steve Diamond, Ryan Cass, Kevin Lawton, Robbie Harris, Alexander Phillips and Andrew Herrmann. Representing the current 2016-17 team were: Johna Ezzard, TJ Ezzard, Susannah Hogan, Jeffrey Hunter, Dean Kern, Noor Scavotto, Kamron Sarmadi, Keegan Sweeney, Noah Thompson, Sammy Thompson, Alex Tudan, Miller Williams and Nick Willey as well as Coach Aloysius Hogan.
Team Dark filled with "older" but energetic alums went up against the Team Light squad of current players and recent graduates. Team Light was no match for the wiser and more wiley team dark during the first two periods falling behind by 4 goals. Team Light managed to start clawing their way back with several goals in the third. If only they had another period to really wear out the old guys. Maybe next year...
