Victory! Sky Rink defeated The Rinks at Chelsea Piers Connecticut 7-3 today in the first ever Chelsea Piers New York - Chelsea Piers Connecticut Hockey Showdown. The experienced CPNY team managed to outshine the upstart CPCT squad. The game was played at CPCT in Stamford. CPNY team captain John Stoble said, "We expected to win. Our team has played several hundred games together. We play to win."

The CPCT team has vowed for revenge when they play the return match at CPNY in November. CPCT coach Kevin Peel said, "We are a young team but I really feel we have the talent to take it to the NYC guys. If you look at their player information, it's obvious that they're basically over the hill. I expect us to bring our A game when we play next month in NYC." Stay tuned for schedule information and congrats to the CPNY team!
