For only the 2nd time ever all 4 Stahlman boys made it out to a show together! Got to see E Town once again who never disappoints as well as Bulldoze, All Out War and of course Biohazard!! Met a number of the guys from different bands who were of course cool as shit
#StahlmansRule
Another fun one in the books, shout out to Bobby and @southshorehockeyclub for putting the tournament together this past Saturday. Added some new players in the mix who were outstanding and would love to have them back again next time. Only lost to one team but they had our number in round robin and again in the finals, salute to Wheel Talk and our guy Alex for taking home the title
Them Legends Gold boys ain't dead yet!! After spotting the first game 5-0 to an experienced LI Blazers team in the PIHA Minors qtr final series, the boys dug deep in an elimination game and returned the favor with a 5-0 win of their own to set up a winner-take-all game 3. The adversity wasn't done yet as they once again went down multiple goals before scoring 5 unanswered to earn a trip to the semi finals against the #1 seed Suffolk Sting next Saturday morning out at Rapid Fire Arena. Super proud of the squad never giving up and fighting for each other! Players of the game we have Marcus Conti with a full clean sheet in game 2 stopping all 30 shots (before making 26 svs in a game 3 series clinching win) and for game 3 we have Jake Lanzer who missed half the season and made it back for playoffs, playing great up and down the rink first on offense and then shutting it down and bringing it up the rink from the blue line. Liam McDonald could have easily gotten it in either win as well scoring twice in each victory, wouldn't have won without him and he deserves recognition. See you in the semis!
The Rollers once again came to feast at the Skate Safe Thanksgiving tournament, entering two divisions both making it to the championship but after our Central squad fell 2-1 in a hard fought close game our North squad skated off with the top 5v5 title! Unbelievable performance by Brandon Morgenstern who after being named POG for 2 earlier shutouts played the second half of the semifinal with a pulled groin and injuries to his hand head and elbow following a cowardly sucker punch and amazingly came back to finish off another 3-0 shutout. He tried to play in the finals but couldn't even close his glove hand and had to be pulled off the rink, relieved by Colin Jacobs who stepped in at almost midnight after playing all day long and helped us finish what we started with a stirring 4-2 victory over an incredibly talented team. Brandon played so courageously he was awarded the tournament MVP having not even played in the finals, what a fucking warrior. Liam MacDonald was the Finals MVP coming back after missing the semis and scoring our first goal as well as blocking the last shot and taking the puck all the way in for the empty netter to put it away. Other POGs throughout the day were Mike Polacsek 2g2a in a 5-1 win, Tom Palermo played great and scored in a 4-2 win, and our young goalie Gabe for the Central team played amazing , def good enough to win the championship we just couldn't get him more than 1 goal, he earned two POGs for a 7-0 shutout and a 5-3 win in the semis. Thanks to all the guys new and old who made this a memorable weekend with the boys and thanks to team Nick for putting this all together and making things run smoothly. See you at the next one!

From a free agent team that took 3 seasons to win its first game to top champs in the league!! Dedicated to our long time co captain and team manager @dandj16 who's leaving us after being here from the beginning almost 7 years ago, you will be missed brother. Finals MVP @mlevy00 stopped 23 of 24 shots to beat a team that only surrendered 3 goals the entire playoffs and stood on his head for us. @pastamike27 led the league with 27pts in 7 games and was our Team MVP. E South Gold Diamond champs, the mf OUTCASTS!
Always better to take the team pic after a playoff win! Had an awesome time yesterday with my Rockin Rollers tourney squad at the 2nd annual Average Joe's tournament hosted by the @wheeltalk_labeda_legends . The competition in North was far from average but the boys held their own all day winning the final game of round robin 2-1 (@mattpepe was Player of the Game, prob the best I've seen him play in 6 years of hockey together) before winning our do or die play in game against another tough team 5-2 (the boys felt bad for me catching an elbow to the face and gave me the POG chain lol). That set us up with the undefeated #1 seed SCPD who were a team that didn't really seem to have any weaknesses but my guys played their hearts out and fell 4-2 with our incredible tendy Brandon falling victim to 2 tipped shots he had no chance at that proved to be the difference. Big shout out to Matt and Nick and Chris and Doug and all my guys with the Legends organization who put in weeks of work and planning to put this event on, everyone had such a great time and can't wait til next year. Was beautiful to have the Rollers back playing again having not taken the rink since our cup run back in May. Will be back for Winter 1 season at Skate Safe

You can take me out of hard times, but you can't take hard times outta me!
With @metaforiklyspkng watching @e.townconcrete and @fromthepawn_ at AMH! Saw these guys play like 25 years ago they still sound incredible!
Salute to one of the only 3 guys who has played every season in Rollers history. The young stud on a team full of old grizzled vets, this kid makes everyone play at his pace, and then makes you look foolish when he blows right past you in slow-mo. After a dominating offensive performance in round 1 (3g2a in a 6-4 W) earning him POG, he then scored the game winner in the semis on a filthy 1v1 snip and followed that up with the tying deflection goal late in the 3rd period of the championship after walking guys all game like he always does. LI Rockin Rollers Most Valuable Player for the 2025 Winter 2 Playoffs is @vince_credidio aka Mika aka Slo-mo
These guys have always been Champions to me but now we got the Cup to prove it! Down 2 goals twice in the 3rd period not a single guy quit for one second, clawing back to score 3 all while AP showed why he is the best player out there any time we take the rink, willing us over the finish line in goal. Thanks to every Roller past and present who have helped to make this team such a bright spot in all of our lives the past 3 years. Unfortunately Rollers will not be fielding a team for Spring season so we'll savor this one a while and see you back in the Fall to defend our 1st title. #RollersAreLIFE #lirockinrollers
