With Robert Carter in goal for Agawam, the Chiefs went up early on an unassisted end to end effort by defenseman Ricky Calvani.

Agawam Chiefs Mite 2s Score 5–1 Win Over Andover East

The Agawam Chiefs Mite 2s combined quick-strike offense with exceptional team defense to defeat Andover East 5–1 at Phillips Academy in Andover on Sunday.

Zack Walles netted the hat trick with two goals coming 35 seconds apart in the first period. Hard work by Nate Jones and Coleman Connors pried the puck loose from several Andover defenders to spring Walles on a breakaway for his first goal at 2:41. The three combined again at 2:06, helped by the defensive pairing of Cooper Davis and Finn Russell, who pinned the puck in Andover’s zone until Walles found the back of the net.

The Chiefs extended their lead to 3–0 at 4:18 of the second period when Quinn Brady’s nifty pass off the boards at center ice sent Walles on another scoring drive. Andover mounted several scoring chances in the middle stanza that were snuffed out by the hustling defense of Aidan Clarke and Bodin Jobe or turned aside by goalie Matthew Cusolito.

In the third period, Connors scored from close range at 10:41 with helpers Walles and Sam Phippen. Just over a minute later Phippen took a pass from Walles along the right wing boards and skated past the defense for the score.

Andover broke through at the 7:50 mark to make it 5–1. But forwards Colby Doane and Peter Gillis carried the play to Andover’s end with excellent scoring bids and the Chiefs defense stiffened to close out the game.
