The Last Game - Senior Night 2006
The annual "last game of the year" for graduating seniors was played at Irondequoit on June 13th. Under a new format the seniors were divided into two games this year to allow for more seniors to play. Every effort was made to include players for each of the thirty Section Five teams, although end of the year scheduling made it difficult for players to choose between the many special events that take place in June.
The Class B and Class C teams played to a 12-11 final. In an unorthodox play, in the second quarter, HFL defenseman, Connor Burgasser, playing for the "White Team" checked poke checked the stick out the hands of Andrew Santiago (also from HFL) who was playing for the Blue Team and who had control of the ball. The ball remained in the stick as it fell to the ground and after a couple attempts to free the ball from the stick, Burgasser simply dropped his own stick and picked up the short stick, with the ball and ran toward the goal. Was it a legal move? Probably not, but the officials on the game were mixed in their opinions and the game was for fun. Burgasser ended the game with three goals and two assists for the White Team and was named the MVP.
Dan Layfield (HF-L) scored three goals for the White Team while Victor middie, Erick Rogemoser scored four goals and added two assists for the Blue Team. Andrew Santiago scored three goals and two assists for the Blue Team who ties the game at eleven on a goal form Kyle Warren (Brighton).
