Queensbury Took the Ice Against Saratoga for The Annual Teddy Bear Toss

Queensbury 5, Saratoga 4; the Queensbury Spartans faced off against the Saratoga Springs Blue Streaks at the Glens Falls Recreation Center on Friday night. This event featured the Annual Teddy Bear Toss – for the traditional Christmas season, promotion fans are encouraged to throw stuffed bears onto the ice!

Saratoga was the first to score with 2:50 remaining in the first period. Their goal came off the stick of Payton Borak, with no credited assist. 

The second period was dominated by the Queensbury Spartans. To start the period off, Mack Ryan scored with 14:06 remaining; the assist was credited to Quinn Theis and Julien Shafer. This goal was followed by two more Queensbury goals – the first with 6:07 remaining was scored by Tyler Dufour, with the assists credited to Tanner Fearman and Oli Coughlan. Then, less than 2 minutes later, Tanner Fearman scored, assisted by Michael Deutsh and Tyler Dufour. Saratoga found the net once more with 2:46 remaining in the 2nd period; this goal was unassisted, and scored by Charley Oak.

Queensbury added to their lead on a 3rd period powerplay when Tyler Dufour connected with a pass from Oli Coughlan and Tanner Fearman, who were both credited with the assist.  Queensbury was not done yet! Tanner Fearman put the “biscuit in the basket” unassisted for Queensbury’s final goal of the game. Saratoga staged a comeback with 2:31 remaining as Jake Bader scored a power play goal with the pass from Charlie Oke… But, as time ran out, Queensbury took the win over Saratoga: 5-4. 

The goalie from Saratoga was Xander Clarke, who had 26 saves; Queensbury Goalie Jacob Fanciullo had 24 saves.
