Smolarek Wins MWEHL Debut

Goalie Brandon Smolarek won the first MWEHL start of his career on Sunday stopping 21 of 24 shots in our 4-3 victory over Honeybaked.

Smolarek, added to our roster in December when backup goaltender Brach Tiller quit the team, made several impressive saves during the game's first period to provide the momentum we needed to gain a very important victory.

Milestone Victory: Sunday's win is only the second victory of any kind that a Wizards team (as an independent organization or as combined with Belle Tire) has had over a Honeybaked team, and the first one since the Pee Wee Major Big Dog Tournament in the Spring of 2004 when the 92 Wizards defeated Honeybaked 4-3 at Lakeland Arena.
