🏒 NY DEK Hockey All-Star Event Recap

The NY DEK Hockey All-Star Event kicked off with an exciting skills competition showcasing some of the league’s top talents.

In the Hardest Shot competition, Justin Gibson recorded a blistering 91 MPH shot, earning top honors. The Accuracy Challenge was won by Dylan Lashuk, who scored 4 points by hitting two of the small targets. The Shootout competition went the distance, reaching the 5th round, where Brody Weiss ultimately came out on top. On the goaltending side, Anthony Talavera was outstanding, allowing just two goals during the entire shootout competition.

The evening then moved into the All-Star Game, where the team representing East Meadow, Sachem, and Lindenhurst pulled away late for a 5–3 victory, including an empty-net goal to seal it. Despite the final score, the game was tight throughout and tied with about four minutes remaining, before the winning side capitalized late to secure the win.

It was a great night highlighting the skill, competitiveness, and excitement of players from across the league. 🏒✨

In a dramatic finish at NY DEK Hockey, the Suffolk County Free Agents defeated Massapequa JV 5–4 after a literal last-second goal sealed the victory.

The Free Agents struck first when Christopher Conn opened the scoring at 8:58 of the first period, assisted by Luke Casimano and Liam Ging.

Just when overtime seemed inevitable, the Free Agents delivered one final moment of drama. With literally one second left, Benjamin Olsen scored the game-winner off a feed from Zachary Olsen, giving Suffolk County a thrilling 5–4 victory.

🏒 FINAL REGULAR SEASON STANDINGS — FALL 2025

🔵 VARSITY (Final Seeds)
🥇 1. E Meadow, Bellmore & Merrick (7–2, 15 pts)
EMBM finishes as the top seed after winning the head-to-head series (2–1) over Massapequa, which serves as the primary tiebreaker. A strong finish on both ends of the floor secured first place.

🥈 2. Massapequa (7–2–1, 15 pts)
Level on points and wins with EMBM, but slots into the #2 seed due to the head-to-head tiebreaker. Massapequa closes the season as the highest-scoring Varsity team and remains a championship favorite.

🥉 3. Sachem (6–4, 12 pts)
Sachem claims third with consistent scoring and one of the league’s best goal differentials. A steady season positions them well heading into postseason play.

4. Smithtown (5–5, 10 pts)
Smithtown finishes fourth after a balanced season offensively. They showed late momentum and enter the playoffs capable of pushing anyone.

5. Lindenhurst (0–9–1, 1 pt)
Despite a difficult regular season, Lindenhurst closes strong with valuable late-game experience and resets cleanly for postseason play.

🟢 JUNIOR VARSITY (Final Seeds)
Three teams finished tied at 11 points, triggering multiple tiebreakers.

🥇 1. Massapequa JV (5–4–1, 11 pts)
Earns the top seed after wins were tied, using fewest goals allowed (29 GA) as the next tiebreaker.

🥈 2. Suffolk County Free Agents (5–4–1, 11 pts)
Edges Nassau into second place by winning the head-to-head series (2–1).

🥉 3. Nassau County Free Agents (5–4–1, 11 pts)
Same record and points as Suffolk, but settles into third due to the head-to-head tiebreaker.

4. E Meadow, Bellmore & Merrick JV (5–5, 10 pts)
Also finishes with five wins, but lands fourth after the other three teams picked up extra points through overtime or shootout losses.

🧠 Final Notes
Varsity: EMBM claims the top seed via head-to-head, setting the playoff bracket tone.

JV: One of the tightest races of the season, decided by wins → goals allowed → head-to-head.
