With the Saints hockey team off to a 13-2 start, suffering just their second loss of the season 5-4 to the Greece Thunder on January 22, there are several players making a dent in the school record book.
Senior Zach Fodge has already shattered the mark for career scoring which was previously held by Chris Rossignolo from 2004-2008. His 83 points with five games remaining in the regular season bettered the record of 80. He is also just two goals from tying the career mark of 44 goals.
Senior linemate Justin Alves currently owns the new record for points in a season with 40 and counting breaking the previous mark held by Shawn Easton’s 33 points set just two seasons ago. His 24 assists this season also have already set a new mark also previously held by Easton with 19.
Senior Andy Ludwicki earlier this season set a new record with six assists in a game, which also ties him for fourth in New York State in the same category.
The Saints entered the final five games with 13 wins under their belt, which is three away from tying the school record for wins in a season set in each of the previous two campaigns.
The Saints also set a new team record for goals in a season while playing two games in Plattsburgh and scored four more in the Greece loss by Fodge, Alves (2) and Ryan Cosgrove. That gives them 85 goals this season eclipsing the previous mark of 80 which was accomplished during the 2007-2008 season.
Churchville-Chili entered the final week of January ranked 7th among New York State Division II schools. They finish the regular season with Hilton and Brockport on the road and Geneseo and Batavia at home with an exhibition against McQuaid sandwiched in the middle.
