Inside The Series
Since the two teams began facing each other during the 2009-10 season, the Privateers lead the series three games to one against the New Jersey-based Stevens Ducks. Maritime took both games last season as they won a tight nail-biter just a few steps from “The Rock” in New Jersey and then a had dominant performance at home, sending the Ducks back with a long bus ride to the Garden State after a 15-3 debacle. Then-freshman
Dillon Dolansky (Monroe, N.Y./John S. Burke Catholic) (Monroe, N.Y./John S. Burke Catholic) got the Privateers on the board with two early goals while
Greg Dolan (Floral Park, N.Y./St. Mary's) and then-sophomore
James McManus (Pearl River, N.Y./Pearl River) (Pearl River, N.Y./Pearl River) each scored a goal and three assists.
The rivalry between Maritime and Kings Point has been carried onto the ice since Kings Point joined the Met Hockey Conference last season. The Privateers soundly took both games by significantly large margins. Galli scored a hat-trick in a 9-1 victory at home, while McManus tallied two goals on the road to help the Privateers earn an 11-2 blowout victory in front of a surprisingly large and loud Maritime crowd.
Greg Dolan (Floral Park, N.Y./St. Mary's) and then-junior
Dylan Tyx (Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East) both scored on breakaways in the second period with the former coming while shorthanded and the latter coming on a power-play. Goalie
Zach Dietrich (Point Pleasant, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) was credited with the victory, allowing just one goal on 14 shots before being replaced in the third.
