Black Hawks Beat The Buccaneers On New Years Eve
For the tenth consecutive New Year’s Eve, the Waterloo Black Hawks successfully defended home ice, with a 3-1 Thursday win at Young Arena against the Des Moines Buccaneers.
Coincidentally, the last time Waterloo lost on New Year s eve was in 2010, at the hands of the Buccaneers. Flash forward, a decade later, as the Black Hawks took the lead early with an early goal by Michael LaStara, putting them ahead for good and never looked back.
Just 47 seconds into the game, Wyatt Schingoethe cut hard to the net through the circle, and at the last moment dropped a pass to LaStarza, and he stuck it in the top corner of the net. Also in the 1st period, Schingoethe slung a pass to Ryan O’Hara in the right circle and his shot was tipped in from near the top of the crease by Ethan Szmagaj.
