The Flames Bantam A team shutout the Glaciers 4-0, and the Flames Midget 16A Red team followed it up with a 2-0 blanking of the Glaciers in Warminster today. The Bantams held a 1-0 lead midway through the third period, when they piled on 3 more goals to put the game away. They had almost 70 shots on goal in the game. Goaltender Tyler Baumann was solid in goal, blanking the Glaciers. Immediately after an ice cut, the Flames Midget 16A team (11-1-2) took the ice in a key DVHL matchup with the Glaciers (12-2-1). Midway through the second period, the Flames notched 2 goals in a thirty second span, then shut down the Glaciers with Jordan Lorah coming up big for the Flames.

January 8, 2012. Bethlehem PA. The Lehigh Valley Flames Midget 16A Red team took their game outdoors this weekend as they took on the NJ Stars in non-league action at the Bethlehem Municipal Ice Rink. It was the first Flames Midget game played at the outdoor facility, and the temperature was perfect for hockey on a Sunday morning, with the temperature hovering around 40 degrees.

The Flames carried the bulk of the action to the Stars, outshooting them 30-15 after two periods, but couldn’t crack Stars goaltender Tommy Mezaros. The score after 2 periods was 0-0. Finally, with 6:30 remaining in the game in a 4-on-4 situation, Flames forward Eric “Tank” Tanczos put a backhander through the pads of the Stars goaltender to put the Flames on top 1-0. Two minutes later, the Stars scored on the power play to even up the score. Flames goaltender Jordan Lorah came up with some timely saves during a continuing shorthanded situation that followed. Finally, with 1:54 remaining and still on the penalty kill, Flames center Anthony Shahin swung wide on the Stars defense and scored shorthanded to put the Flames on top to stay. It capped a 5 goal weekend for Shahin, who scored 4 times against the Delaware Jr. Blue Hens the day before.

Shots on goal for the game were 39-24 in favor of the Flames.

Thanks to the folks at the Municipal rink for hosting great morning of hockey, and to the NJ Stars for making the trip to Pennsylvania.

Brad McCrimmon, former Flyer and veteran of 5 other NHL teams was on the plane that crashed in Russia that took the lives of entire Lokomotiv Russian hockey team.

Maybe the biggest influence he had in hockey was the vital role he played in the early stages of the careers of several future Hall of Fame players.

Wish our players good luck as they take the ice on January 14th through the 16th to participate in the Steel City Midwinter Classic in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Lehigh Valley Flames youth hockey, 18AA entered Foxboro Sports Center in Massachusetts on October 8th the clear underdog.  Facing brackets that included 3 of the top 10 18AAA teams in the nation the Flames had their own Battle of Bunker Hill ahead.   Examples of Tier 1 AAA graduates include former Flyer Goaltender Ron Hextall, current Flyers prospect Brayden Schenn and Chicago Alternate Captain Patrick Kane.  By Monday the Flames found themselves in the semi-finals facing the #10 nationally ranked Southshore Dynamos losing 2-0, ending the weekend 2-1-1.  Flames coach, Mark Spease stated, “Taking a team from the Lehigh Valley and heading to a state where hockey is king to play against all AAA teams is intimidating and potentially disastrous.  We’ve now played in 2 AAA tournaments, made the semi-finals in both.  I am very proud of the young men, they represented both the Lehigh Valley and Flames organization incredibly well. We look forward to bringing that type of intensity and play back to the Lehigh Valley and DVHL [Delaware Valley Hockey League].  I think we have the makings of a very memorable season.”

The Lehigh Valley Flames Midget 18AA team took on CP Dynamo on Saturday, November 19th, In front of a packed house the Steel Ice Center and came away with a convincing 5-2 victory. The Flames jumped out to a 2 goal lead early, but Dynamo — ranked 6^th in the Country at the 18AA level — evened up the score at the end of the first. But that would be the only scoring Dynamo would manage on this night. The Flames tacked on 3 more goals to defeat Dynamo 5-2. Recently, the Flames have hovered around the #15 spot in the rankings. With this victory they will certainly be moving up the rankings again.

This was a game marked by great effort, great intensity, and awesome support and attendance from the entire Flames organization. Thank you to everyone that came to support Flames Nation!
