Home sweet home; Adanacs return to the Palace on Wednesday Night

Call up your prom dates for the homecoming in Coquitlam this week. The Junior “A” Adanacs return to the newly renovated Palace on Porier Wednesday night for their first home game of the 2010 season. Also coming home with a shiny new ring is captain Matt Beers, who won the NLL’s Champions Cup on Saturday with the Washington Stealth. Beers was named to the NLL All-Rookie Team, and will look to add a Minto Cup to his resume in his final year of Junior eligibility.

The road hasn’t made the Adanacs very weary. They return to Coquitlam with a 3-0 record, after two trips to the island for wins against Victoria and Nanaimo, and a win on the mainland against Burnaby. Led by Brandon Bertoia’s 15 points and Wesley Berg’s 5 goals, the A’s will look to stay undefeated against the first place (5-1-1) Burnaby Lakers. The A’s have accomplished the 3-0 record without some key players in their line-up. Reigning BCJALL MVP, Rookie of the Year and Top Scorer Robert Church is still at Drexel University, while Ben McIntosh is at Robert Morris, and Tor Reinholdt at Limestone. In their absence, offensive production is coming from the lefty Bertoia who will have an increased role in 2010; Mike Krgovich is back after a year of playing hockey in the WHL and Marty Dinsdale who had a solid 2009.

In the three games that Coquitlam has played, only 21 goals have snuck by goalies Dan Lewis and Chris Seidel who have shared the workload. Protecting the paint in front of them is third year stalwart Garret Stickler, face-off specialist Kevin Chelczynski, 6’6’’ David Joyce, and new-comer from Delta John Canil. Add Matt Beers back into the line-up and that is a large intimidating defense. Beers just spent a season battling some of the best players in the world in the NLL, imagine what he’ll do back in Junior lacrosse.

The opponent for the homecoming is the first place Burnaby Lakers. They are another team that has found a way to get things done without their two best players, Riley Loewen and Jackson Decker who are teammates at Limestone. In their absence, Jaxson Lee leads the league with 15 goals, Mackenzie Davis has 20 points, and a balanced offence has 5 of their players scoring at least a goal per game early in the season. If the A’s want to keep their undefeated title they’ll need to find a way to beat 6’7’’ goaltender Brodie MacDonald. The 2009 All-Star selection is stopping almost 90% of the shots he’s facing, and the last time these teams met Macdonald allowed just 2 goals after the first period.

Just being back in the comfort of their own home should be enough for an A’s win Wednesday night. Come out and support your Junior “A” Adanacs in their run for the 2010 Minto Cup. Wednesday’s game will not be broadcast due to the renovations in the arena but we will be up and running for the next home game Tuesday May 25th on www.junioradanacs.com Until then, email any questions and comments about the team to bcjall@hotmail.com and we’ll do our best to answer them on the air next week.

We’ll see you on the floor!

Matt Beers Plays Big in NLL Debut

Adanac Alumni Help Washington Stealth earn First Win

The Washington Stealth played their first NLL game on Saturday night after heading north from San Jose for the 2010 season, and in a new city with a new barn and almost 5000 new fans, the Stealth were able to win their first game at the ComCast Center in Everett 17-8 over the Colorado Mammath. Maybe it was the quick trip down the I-5, or maybe it was the rush of playing your first game in the bigs, but two Junior Adanacs were a huge part of the Washington win. ...read more.
