The temperature was dipping below zero as the Clarkston Varsity Hockey team was inside heating up the ice with a 10-0 win last Thursday against Walled Lake Central-Waterford United.
The Wolves scored five goals in the first period. Sophomore Ethan Adams opened the scoring with assists from senior Ryan Bolio and senior Brendan Walk less than three minutes into the game.
Clarkston took control of the puck from face off and held onto it. Freshman Gino Giannini took a shot on net and goalie Eddie Morton blocked it. The next shot he didn’t block as senior Austin McKay found an opportunity and connected his hockey stick to the puck, putting it into the net with 12 minutes remaining in the period.
McKay scored again four minutes later with an assist from junior Cameron Thomas as the Wolves kept putting shots on the net. The last two goals of the period came with four minutes remaining from Thomas and senior Jackson Cooper, assists from Giannini, Adams, and junior Marcus Chiappelli.
