READING, Mass. -- Three consecutive Reading games have ended in shutouts, but the Rockets were finally on the right side of one Wednesday night at Burbank Ice Arena.
Reading defeated Middlesex League rival Woburn, 3-0, thanks to goals from juniors Trevor Owens and Landyn Greatorex and senior Cam Lawhorne. Senior Dylan Emery picked up the shutout in net.
Owens put the Rockets up 1-0 on a wrist shot off a bad neutral zone turnover. Greatorex gave Mark Doherty's team a 2-0 advantage when he put home a juicy rebound from the left wing circle. Lawhorne's tally came from nearly 200 feet away with the Woburn net empty for an extra attacker.
Prospect Watch
Greatorex scored a goal, but he had his best game of the season -- at least in my four viewings of Reading. The '03 junior is a good skater and had the puck on his stick a lot. After a solid fall with the Boston Jr. Eagles 16-U, I had high expectations, which were finally met on Wednesday night.
'04 right wing Evan Pennucci had an assist on Greatorex's goal and was solid throughout the game. He's also a good skater with some skill. He spent the fall with the East Coast Wizards 15s.
For Woburn, the best player was '03 left wing Jonathan Surrette. He has good speed and had the puck on his stick a few times, but wasn't able to muster much offense. He's a good player who had several good showings in the preseason, including in the NEFPHL Public/Catholic All-Stars exhibition game against Phillips Exeter.
One other player of note for Jim Duran's Tanners was '05 freshman left wing Brett Stone. He's on the smaller side, but he showed a little skill with the puck on his stick.
