ROCKPORT — The ice hockey season is underway for the Midget Majors and this season there is a Maine Coast Skaters Association Tier II team playing in a seven-team league of U18 teams.

They have started the season 0-3 despite the caliber of players on the team. But this past weekend, they found their rhythm as they blanked the visitors 8-0.

The team plays a 14-game schedule in the season before high school hockey gets underway.

MCSA Majors Tier II team members include Jet Magri, Nick Tassoni, Chase Matteo, Samuel Haver, Cam Christie, Perrin Bonner-Ganter, Nate Herson, James Annis, Brandon Cook, Jack Uhll, Matthew Prescott, Brady Martin, Thomas Griebel, Zach Hand, Will Davee, Caleb Stern and Nick Czuchra. The head coach is John Magri. The assistant coaches are, Didier Bonner-Ganter, Chock Griebel and Steve Hand. 

Sunday, Sept. 20, was their first home game of the season. They will play at home for two more weeks in a row before hitting the road again. 

The Storm came out skating fast and hitting hard finding the back of the net for the first time was Perrin Bonner-Ganter at 12:22 in the first half. Cam Christie assisted him.

The next goal came less than a minute later from Nicholas Czuchra at 11:25 unassisted. Chase Matteo, Caleb Stern, and Nathan Hersom all scored in the first half as well. Matthew Prescott had an assist. 

In the second half, Brandon Cook had a pair of goals and Czuchra added his second of the game. Nicholas Tassoni, Christie, and Matteo had one assist each.

Jet Magri was in goal for the Storm recording the shutout only needing a handful of saves. 

Ethan Joyce was in goal for the Huskies in the first half, and Ben Feldman played the start of the second half until he was ejected for misconduct and Joyce returned. In the first half, Joyce was peppered with shot after shot, and while he gave up five goals, he stopped 10 or more in just the first half. 

The MCSA Storm had five penalties for 18 minutes in the box. They had one misconduct. The Huskies had 34 minutes in the penalty box including two misconducts. 

The Storm will return next Sunday to MRC for two home games, the first at 9:10 .m. and the second at 2:10 p.m.
