Youth Program Starts Monday with Equipment handout

Here’s a few quick reminders (this information was n the towns recreation brochure for the spring) for everyone. I’ll send out more information once I have the complete email list from the town.

Equipment Handout is on Monday 04/20/09 from 6-7 pm at the Town Barn (beside Empire Livestock) 65 East Main St., Dryden. Drive out behind the barns. Players are responsible for their own Stick (please make sure it is a regulation stick, toy sticks aren’t large enough to catch a regulation ball or strong enough to hold up the game) ,Gloves and a mouth guard. We have a few pairs of gloves that have been purchased as part of equipment packages in the past and a few that have been donated. These are available on a first come first serve basis. If you haven’t purchased these items please pick up a coupon for Dicks Sporting goods on Monday.

We will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 – 7:30 (assuming we have daylight) the first practice is Tuesday 04/21/09.

On Thursday 04/23/09 there will be a mandatory (please call or email the recreation dept with any concerns or questions about this meeting http://dryden.ny.us/recreation-department ) from 6-7 at the Town Hall (the new one, up the road from the Town Barn).

We will have three groups.

Varsity Lax game today @ TC3 - 7PM Start

Brrr. Dress in layers for tonight's rescheduled game vs. Chenango Valley. Forecast for game time - 36 and mostly cloudy and 12 mph wind. I think it's usually about 10 degrees colder up on the TC3 hill. :)

Dryden Lax Records First Win of Young Season

from Ithaca Journal Sat. 03/28/09

Dryden 8, Oneonta 7: At Oneonta, Stefan Christie recorded a hat trick and assisted another to lead Dryden to its first win of the season.

Jymmy Dowdall and Austin O'Brien each added two goals and an assist for the Purple Lions (1-1), who outscored Oneonta 4-1 in the third quarter.

"We possessed the ball in third more than any other quarter, and the defense really picked up the intensity, playing aggressive," Dryden coach Sean Mack said.

Mack also credited the play of long pole defender Dana Christofferson, who took faceoffs and was strong on the defensive end.

The Purple Lions are back in action Tuesday at Maine-Endwell.

Varisty Battles Whitney Point in Season Opener

The game wasn't decided until the final horn. After going out to a quick 1-0 lead, Dryden fell behind 4-1. With a never quit attitude they battled back to 4-3 and had several chances tie right up until the clock read 0:00. It was an impressive beginning to the start of the Varsity's third season. The guys should be proud.

See the link below for pictures from the game.
