The 1st Boys Hockey team played rival TCS on Saturday, looking for their first regular season win. With an enthusiastic crowd, the home team went down 2-0 in the first period. The boys regrouped and came back by scoring three goals in the second period starting with a great individual play by Zak Schwartz and later by Matt Stevens on a vintage breakaway goal, with assists to Alex Procyk and Schwartz. Stevens notched his second of the game in the same frame. Ryan Da Silva put on a clinic in goal, keeping LCS in the game. TCS tied the game in the third, but the crowd was not to be disappointed as Lakefield called a time out in the final minute and in a last second effort, Stevens threw the puck on net and Allister Avard banked the shot in with 0.6 seconds left on the clock, giving them a 4-3 victory.
 

On Wednesday December 7th, the Lakefield College School 1st Boys’ Hockey team played and exhibition team against Royal St. George's College at the Lakefield Smith Community Centre. Both teams took the first period to establish themselves, with much of the play in the neutral zone. LCS' Matt Stevens opened the scoring in the first period, and both teams traded goals in the second to bring the teams to a 2-2 tie midway through the second. Alex Sifton then took control of the game for LCS scoring twice in the second, and added three more insurance markers in the third period. Goaltender Ryan DaSilva turned away many RSGC shots, allowing the LCS team to continue to make the most of their offensive chances in the remainder of the game. Lakefield's goal tally was bolstered by Allister Avard, Alex Procyk, and by Stevens' second of the game with 20 seconds left to put the bookends on Lakefield's third straight win on home ice with a final score of 9-3. The team faces Crescent School in an important home game on Wednesday December 14th.

 

On Wednesday, November 30th, the Junior Boys’ Hockey team travelled to Toronto to play their first league game of the season against Royal St. George’s College. Although the boys played a spirited game, they could not keep up with the relentless power play assault of RSGC, losing the first contest of the year 6-0. Jamie Murray and Andrew Avard had strong games for LCS, and defensive veterans Daniel Zahradnik and Alex Lawrie logged plenty of ice time. Trevor Jones saw plenty of action in net.
 

In their second game of the season on Saturday, December 3rd, LCS battled Trinity College School. Our top line of Nik Nemczek, Jamie Murray and Andy Avard played well, with Nik Nemeczek scoring Lakefield’s first two goals. The LCS defensive corps, led by Scott Garland, played very well in front of goaltender Trevor Jones. Veterans Reed Dennis and Jaron Kaller anchored the second line alongside Keifer Stevenson, and Jaron Kaller scored late in the game to close the gap to 5-3, but late penalty trouble and a late goal into an empty net had The Grove boys on the wrong side of a 6-3 score.
 

On Wednesday, December 7th, the LCS crew were on the road to play Country Day School. Some early mistakes led to a lopsided score through two periods, but Andrew Avard and Ben McShane scored in the third period to make the score 10-2. Louis Duhamel played well in the Lakefield net in the third period in relief of Trevor Jones. Our team of spirited young men play their first home game of the season against Crestwood Preparatory College on Wednesday, December 14th at Lakefield Arena.
 

 

On Wednesday, December 7th, 2011, at the Lakefield Arena, Lakefield College School's 1st Girls Hockey Team opened their home regular season with a strong 1 - 1 with league leading St. Mildred' from Oakville.

 

Caroline Dupuis opened the scoring on a lovely shot from the boards, assisted by captain Abby Allen and Jenna Vander Velden. St. Mildred's responded late in the second period with a power play. For much of the game, LCS played a swarming fore check and defended extremely well, led by senior goaltender Celeste Hutton.

 

Most impressive was the play of all the young first year players from the local area - Lakefield, Buckhorn, Peterborough, and Bancroft - where eleven players are in either grade eight or nine. A strong future for LCS hockey indeed!

 

On Saturday, December 3rd, Lakefield College School’s Junior Boys Basketball team travelled to Belleville for their first regular season game against Albert College School.

The Junior Girls’ received a well-earned win on Wednesday against LDSS, our local rival, in our first exhibition home game.

The girls worked well together as a team, and Charlotte Desmarais brought the energy to the game with her constant cheering. Thanks to all the LCS students/staff for coming out and supporting our team!
