The Colin Hohman Era began Thursday night for the St. Louis Park boys hockey team in a big way with Bauer Neudecker scoring six goals to lead the Orioles o a 10-0 win over the Rochester Mayo Spartans at the Rec Center.
Hohman took over as the Orioles head coach when Terry Keseley resigned after last season.
It was the "Bauer Neudecker Show" in the first period when he scored St. Louis Park's first four goal. The first came on a line drive shot just inside the blue line on the left side and the second came on a right side wraparound. His third goal came on the power play as he rebounded Luke Mobley's shot and scored. The St. Louis Park senior scored his fourth goal when he went through the center slot like traffic on Excelsior Blvd., dribbled the puck a few times and sent it toward the net.
Bauer Neudecker picked up his fifth goal in the second period after Johnny Sorenson passed to him on the right side of the net and Bauer Neudecker found an opening and put the puck in. It wasn't all Bauer Neudecker in the Orioles 2016-17 season opener. Mobley would score on a rebound and Conor Schubring brought the Orioles another goal :21 later. Bauer Neudecker would pick up an assist on St. Louis Park's eight goal, dribbling around the net and passing to Austin Stafne and he would score.
Bauer Neudecker would get a double hat trick in the third period as he got a centering pass from Sorenson and he set it to the net. Jackson Hand would have a hand in the scoring column as he would score the Orioles final goal.
Todd Huyber, who replaced long time Rochester Mayo head coach Lorne Grosso after he retires after 50 years heading the Spartans boys hockey program took time for an interview following the game. Huyber has known Grosso since he was five and played for the veteran head coach back in the mid 80s. He commented on what it was like to take over the Mayo program.
"It's an honor to take over the program," Huyber said. He also mentioned about a part of Grosso's philosophy he brought over to the program. "You got to remain calm."
St. Louis Park begins the season with a 1-0 record and faces the Edina Hornets on Saturday, December 3 at 7 PM at Braemar Arena.
Rochester Mayo fell to 1-1 and also in in action on the 3rd when they take on their city rival the Rochester Century Panthers at 7:15 at the Rochester Recreation Center.
