Ball Hockey Winter Break Stats & Standings
|
The Bermuda Ball Hockey Winter League has reached its mid-season hiatus, with Positive Image Dental sitting pretty at the top of the standings as the league pauses until 2026. After a period plagued by persistent rain, which saw several scheduled dates at the PCC Hockey Rink washed out, the recent flurry of completed matches has provided a clear picture of the title race.
Positive Image Dental have established themselves as the team to beat, amassing 19 points to hold a four-point cushion at the summit. They are followed by Hamilton Princess on 15 points, while ACT remain firmly in the hunt, rounding out the top three with 12 points.
The leaders' success has been mirrored in the individual statistics. Louis Sujir has been a revelation for Positive Image Dental, leading the overall points race with 28. He is currently being chased by Shane Matchett of ACT and Hamilton Princess’s Mathew Benson, who are locked together in joint-second with 20 points apiece.
The race for the Golden Stick is proving to be a classic duel. Louis Sujir and Hamilton Princess’s JM Tremblay are inseparable at the top of the goalscoring charts, with both players finding the net 13 times before the break. Dallas Montgomery of CG follows closely in third with 12 goals.
When it comes to providing for others, Sujir again leads the way with 15 assists. He is followed by Shane Matchett, who has registered 12 helpers for ACT, while Jeremy Estey (CG) and Christopher Merritt (Spine & Sport) are tied for third with 11 assists each.
The battle between the pipes has been equally competitive. Hamilton Princess’s Yves Paul leads the goaltending department with a league-best 3.75 goals-against average. He is narrowly ahead of Chris Thilbault of BDA Spirits, who sits in second at 4.00, while ACT’s J. Riggnas holds the third spot with an average of 4.17.
With the narrowest of margins across the individual leaderboards and a tight chasing pack in the standings, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion when the league resumes in the new year.

Montgomery Scores in Big Wisconsin Win
|
Nine different players including Blake Montgomery scored to lead the Wisconsin Men's Hockey team to a 9-2 victory at Notre Dame at Compton Family Ice Arena.
Wisconsin closed out the fall semester schedule with their most goals in a conference game since 2006. They also finished the first half in first place in the Big Ten by two points over top-ranked Michigan.
The onslaught began early with a Quinn Finley snipe just 3:37 into the game. That jump-started a four-goal first 12 minutes for Wisconsin. Grady Deering, Ben Dexheimer and Montgomery scored the other three to give Wisconsin a 4-0 lead at the first intermission.
Notre Dame, who owns the nation's leading power play, got on the board in the first minute of the second period with a power-play tally by Dany Nelson. Wisconsin answered right back with a Jack Horbach goal just 10 seconds later, but a Notre Dame challenge of offsides wiped the response.
Instead, Aiden Dubinsky provided Wisconsin riposte, scoring at 3:43 to give back its four-goal lead.
The game stayed 5-1 until just before the midpoint of the third period when Adam Pietila tallied his third of the season.
Tyson Dyck created his own breakaway by knocking the puck out of the air at the Wisconsin blue line and finished for the second time this season to make it a 7-1 game.
After Sutter Muzzatti scored for Notre Dame, Finn Brink and Simon Tassy added to the Wisconsin total for the fifth goal in seven minutes of game time between the two teams. Brink and Tassy's markers gave Wisconsin its second four-goal period of the game, third of the weekend and fourth in four games. The Badger goals also closed out the scoring and made it the 9-2 final score.

Wisconsin Rallies from Deficit to Overpower Notre Dame
|
The No. 2 Wisconsin men's hockey team, featuring Blake Montgomery, secured a remarkable 7-4 comeback victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the Compton Family Ice Arena, fuelled by two-goal, three-point nights from both Quinn Finley and Joe Palodichuk.
Notre Dame opened the scoring early in the first period and added a second goal in the final minute of the frame, taking a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.
Wisconsin responded swiftly in the second period. Quinn Finley and Christian Fitzgerald each scored a breakaway goal in the opening four minutes of the middle frame to tie the game at 2-2.
The Fighting Irish momentarily retook the lead a minute later with a power-play goal, making it 3-2. However, Joe Palodichuk put the Badgers ahead with two quick tallies in the remaining nine minutes of the second period, giving Wisconsin a 4-3 lead.
The drama continued into the third period as Notre Dame tied the game at four less than 90 seconds in. Wisconsin immediately responded, with Ryan Botterill scoring just over a minute later to restore the lead.
In the final 2:30 of the game, Wisconsin sealed the victory as Finley and Simon Tassy both hit the empty net, securing the 7-4 comeback win.
The victory marks Wisconsin's fourth conference win in a row, cementing their position in second place in the Big Ten with 19 points.
