His name may be Collin Fitzgerald, but the Toronto Pro Hockey forward did anything but sink on Tuesday morning. 
Fitzgerald netted a hat-trick and added an assist as Pro Hockey bookended an 8-2 drubbing of Team Pennsylvania Brick with four goals in both the first and third periods. 

Fitzgerald kicked off the first with a goal for Pro Hockey, a tally that was answered by Team Pennsylvania’s Dominic Pogue ninety seconds later. Alessandro Di Iorio, Alexander Hage, and Adam Valentini scored in rapid succession to conclude the first, stretching the Pro Hockey league to 4-1. Domini D’Eletto potted a goal in the second to pull Team Pennsylvania within two at 4-2. 

Jacob McMahon started the third period with a goal for Pro Hockey, with Fitzgerald notching second on a shorthanded effort less than two minutes later. Clarence Allain notched the seventh goal for Pro Hockey, and Fitzgerald completed his hat-trick in the final minute for the team’s eighth score.

In easily the most entertaining game of the 2018 Brick so far, the Connecticut Jr. Rangers rode an outstanding performance by goaltender Jacoby Weiner and the timely goal of Jason Rothstein to a thrilling double-overtime win.

The play-by-play voice was shot after the first period, with his raspy tones describing five goals in the first frame. The Jr. Canucks struck first with a goal from Jonathan Bitonti, the Jr. Rangers struck back with a Nolan Duskocy tally. BC forward Liam Ruck’s goal was answered by Joey Salandra of the Jr. Rangers, while BC’s Markus Ruck put the Jr. Canucks ahead 3-2 with just 14 seconds left in the first. 

Duskocy scored his second goal of the game for the Jr. Rangers in the second period, converting one of the two shots the Jr. Rangers had in the period. Yesterday's hero Joey Banas put the Jr. Rangers ahead 4-3 just 55 seconds into the third period, with BC’s Bitonti scored at the 4:33 mark and effectively forced overtime.

With no score reached during the first overtime, played three-on-three, the game headed to another extra session, this one to be played two-on-two. Nearly four minutes in, CT’s Jason Rothstein swooped into the BC zone, sidestepped a Jr. Canuck defender and positively roofed a wrist shot past Micah Davidson from the slot, giving the Jr. Rangers their third win of the week and dropping the Jr. Canucks to 0-1-1.   

Imagine being nine or ten-years-old. Now imagine being a nine or ten-year-old hockey player. Now imagine being a nine or ten-year-old hockey player that rifled 34 shots at another nine or ten-year-old and have him swat 32 of them back at you with the swagger that is decidedly French-first in all things. 

Patrick Deniger turned in a spectacular performance in the crease for Team Quebec, which despite being outshot 33-24, skated past Detroit 5-1 to move to 1-2 through three games. Kingsley Solomon scored twice in the first period to lead Team Quebec into the second frame with a 2-0 lead. Solomon’s second goal was a display of nifty stickhandling, and his play earned him the Third Star of the game.

Detroit’s Isaiah Pikora sliced the Team Quebec lead in half to 2-1 with a goal early in the second period, which was answered three minutes later by Thomas Rousseau of Team Quebec. 

Josh Vincent and Maxime Poirier added insurance goals for Team Quebec in the third, while Deniger denied a staggering 17 shots from the Red Wings to post a perfect period. Deniger was named the First Star of the game.

Despite Saskatchewan Jr. Pats goaltender Madex Kabrud knocking away 29 shots, the BC Jr. Canucks emerged with their first win of The Brick by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday night. 

A scoreless game after the first period was broken just 19 seconds into the second by BC’s Jonathan Bitonti, a 1-0 advantage that was evened midway through the period by Saskatchewan’s Cohen Harris. 

BC’s Mathis Preston slammed home a loose puck with 10:59 to play in the third period for the go-ahead goal, followed by Liam Ruck’s highlight-reel worthy goal. Ruck pulled off an impressive toe-drag before depositing the puck for a 3-1 Jr. Canucks lead. 

With two minutes remaining in regulation, the Jr. Pats found new life, as Caine Wilkie found the net to pull Saskatchewan within one at 3-2. For the next two minutes, however, BC maintained possession, not allowing Saskatchewan to pull Kabrud and eventually running the rest of the time off the clock.
