Aston, PA --  The Philadelphia Little Flyers EHL team hit the road for the first time this season for a weekend series against the New York Applecore.  In game one, Ryan Turse got the Little Flyers on the board mid-way through the first period, taking a feed from Ryan Candia and backhanding it past the Applecore goaltender for his second goal of the season, veteran defenseman Soren Bredeson also picked up an assist on the play.  For the Little Flyers, Thomas McLarnon turned away 8 Applecore shots in the first period.  Will Smith, extended the Little Flyers lead to 2-0 under two minutes into the second period, picking up a loose puck off of Candia in the slot and wristing it into the back of the net, Dante Gattone was credited with the secondary assist on the play.  New York didn’t get discouraged with the deficit as just 23 seconds later they scored their first goal of the game to cut the Little Flyers lead back to one.  The score would remain 2-1 Little Flyers until the final five minutes of the period which was a hectic one.  New York scored three goals in two minutes to take what looked to be a commanding 4-2 lead heading into the second period.  The trio of Tyler Marvil, Sam Clapinson and Dan Mundy would get the Little Flyers back into the game with a great shift that kept the puck deep in the Applecore zone.  Eventually Clapinson and Mundy were able to get the puck to Marvil at the side of the net for the put back goal with just 11 seconds remaining in the second period.  Off of the ensuing faceoff, Alex McBey hammered the puck into the Applecore zone, Kevin Brown chased the puck down and slid it back to McBey on the wall, with three seconds left, McBey shot the puck towards the net.  McBey’s shot deflected off of line mate Cam Lindsay then off of Brown and into the net to tie the game with less than three seconds left to play. 

McLarnon stood tall in net for the Little Flyers, turning away all 13 Applecore shots that he faced in the tied game.  Eventually it would be Will Smith sending the Little Flyers home victorious.  On a 3-on-1 rush into the Applecore zone, McBey sent the puck over to Turse creating a 2-on-1 down low, Turse slid the puck across the clot to Smith who hammered the puck home for the game winner.  McLarnon picked up his second win of the young season with a 26 save performance.     

In game two, the Philadelphia offense came to life early and often.  Alex McBey got the scoring started with a power play goal 2:14 into the first period.  Kevin Brown set up Cam Lindsay for a shot that was saved by the Applecore goaltender but McBey was right on the doorstep to put the puck into the back of the net.  Forty Five seconds later, Rob Holland extended the lead to 2-0, after Ryan Houle kept the puck in the Applecore zone, Anthony Savignac sent a backhand pass to Holland in the slot all alone, Holland picked his spot and sent a wrist shot across the goal line for his second goal of the season.  Dante Gattone, put the Little Flyers up 3-0, carrying the puck from the Little Flyers defensive zone through the neutral zone and found himself in a 1-on-3 situation against the Applecore defense as he entered their zone.  Gattone put on the jets and made his way past the defense for a one on one with the Applecore net minder, backhanding the puck five hole.  Two minutes later the Applecore’s Charles Massey cut the Little Flyers lead to 3-1 with an even strength goal but Lindsay and McBey would answer back for the Little Flyers.  First, Lindsay put a rebound off of a McBey shot into the net with an assist from Kevin Brown, then McBey scored his second goal of the game with under two minutes to play with helpers coming from Liindsay and Gattone.  Philadelphia took a 5-1 lead into the first intermission.  Adrian Morales made 9 saves in net for the Little Flyers in the period.

The Applecore scored a power play goal just :47 into the second period to once again get within three.  The score would remain that way until Ryan Candia netted his first goal of the game that was set up by linemates Ryan Turse and Will Smith.  Ryan Houle’s unassisted goal with under two minutes left in the second gave the visiting Little Flyers their largest lead of the day heading into the final 20 minutes of play. 

Candia’s second goal of the day came just :54 into the third period but seemed to put the game out of reach, Turse and defenseman Brett Turner were credited with assists on the Little Flyers 8th tally of the day.  Cam Lindsay capped the Little Flyers scoring on the day with a 4-on-3 power play goal, Kevin Brown registered his 3rd assist of the game on the goal and Ryan Houle picked up his third point with the secondary assist.  Adrian Morales remained sharp in the third period, making 11 more saves to bring his game total up to 28 and picking up his second win in as many chances in a Little Flyers uniform.
