Miller completes hockey season

Newark 5th grader Ryan Miller recently completed his first year as a member of the Canandaigua Knights Hockey Club. Ryan was one of 11 players, age 8 to 11, that were members on the Squirt "B" team, sponsored by Snow Country. The team finished with a record of 11 wins, one loss, and 4 ties that placed them second in their regular season conference.

In the playoffs, Ryan's team won three games and the Eastern Empire Conference Championship. It took a goal in a "sudden death" overtime period for a team from Monroe County to finally beat Ryan's team for the overall Empire Championship. Teams from Batavia, Geneseo, Brockport, Monroe County, and Perinton participate in the Empire League.

Ryan was selected by his coaches as the best "two way" player (offense and defense) on the team. He was second on the team in assists with 10 and fourth in total points with 16. Ryan is the son of Bob and Diane Miller, of Prospect Street in Newark.
