Jr. Flyers Alumni Battle in USHL Semi-Finals
Matt DiGirolamo - G Dominic Morrone - F Brian O'Neill - F
Waterloo Blackhawks Chicago Steel Chicago Steel
Chicago has faced Waterloo more than any other team in its playoff history. Their second round series will mark the fourth time (2004, 2005 and 2007 were the other years) they have met in the post-season, but it's the first time they've met outside the first round. The Steel are 6-9 all time against Waterloo in the playoffs.
Matt DiGirolamo leads all playoff goaltenders with a 1.38 goals against average. His .934 save percentage is 2nd only to Chicago's Rob Madore's .935. Brian O'Neill's 4 points leave him only one point from the playoffs top scorers with 5 points each.

Brian O'Neill Breaks Chicago Steel Scoring Record!

   April 2, 2008   I have been coaching hockey since 1979 and have met a lot of great people and ended up coaching some exceptional players along the way. Last night after midnight I experienced another special moment in coaching. Brian O’Neill contacted me after his game to let me know he set a new regular season scoring record for the Chicago Steel in the USHL. Brian has scored 59 points breaking the old record of 58 points. He still has two more games to add to his total. Not bad for a Philly kid that two years ago no one in the USHL knew his name. With all his success I am glad Brian has not forgotten us.     - Bud

The Strength of the Schedule!

Hi Bud,
     I Hope things are going well for you.  I wanted to give you the latest update on the strength of your schedule this year (see attached for full details).  Overall, you played against 69 players on the "Heisenberg D1 Recruit List" which is considered the most complete and accurate list in the country. Of those 69 "D1 prospects", 25 have already committed to D1 schools, 14 are on the NHL Central Scouting list for this year, and 8 were 1st or 2nd team All-New England Prep.  If players want exposure to the best competition, you are still the best choice.     -Mike
