There is ONLY ONE home games left in the 2011-2012 season. Join us at the
Garden when we battle University of Colorado on Saturday January 21, 2012 at
7:30pm.
The 49ers will finish at the home
season at Glacial against Colorado which will include our farewell to
graduating seniors, presentation of the Northy Memorial Spirit Award, and
prizes galore for our fans = Kings tickets, autographed Kings memorabilia,
gift cards, and more.
This final home game will also be my, Phillip Goodman's, retirement
night. After 10 seasons as announcer and other managerial roles, I have
decided to move on to pursue some other potential career endeavors and free
up time to spend with family, local and abroad.
I hope to see you at what will be a very special evening of hockey with
friends.
GO BEACH!

49ers Fight off Trojans for 4-3 Win
Robbie Zdjelar’s late third period goal gave the Long Beach State 49ers a
4-3 win over the Univ. of Southern California before a standing-room only
crowd on Friday night in Lakewood. Brad Roberts and Chris Chan assisted on
the goal giving Rick St. Louis the win in net while Alex Caravaggio suffered
the loss for the Trojans.
The season opener exploded out of the gate with furious end-to-end action
and neither netminder surrendering any ground in the first period. Two
minutes into the second period, Brad Roberts broke the scoring seal with a
rebound goal with assists to Zdjelar and freshman Ian Hoang. USC quickly
bounced back with a goal of their own to tie the score at 1-1.
With about six minutes to play in the second, rookie 49er Zac Zomaya threw
the puck on net and it deflected off Tyler Robertson and in for a 2-1 lead.
That lead would be short lived as the Trojans struck back on the next shift
again to even the score 2-2 after two frames.
Zac Zomaya would break the tie two minutes into the third with a nifty
top-shelf snipe over Caravaggio, but the pesky Trojans managed to even the
tilt halfway through the period.
Both squads generated quality scoring opportunities and landed some huge
hits. Overtime seemed certain until with less than three to play Brad
Roberts found Chris Chan streaking down left wing to start a two-on-one with
Zdjelar on the far right wing. Chan sauced a perfect pass over the Trojan
defender’s stick that Zdjelar banged home past Caravaggio for the game
winner.
Hoang and Zomaya each had two points in their rookie debuts plus veteran
defenseman Matt Rushton tallied one assist.
Long Beach takes Colorado by storm this weekend, battling Colorado State
Univ. on Friday at 7pm (MTN) and Univ. of Colorado on Saturday at 7:30pm
(MTN).
