BROOKLYN, N.Y. — St. Peter’s Varsity ice hockey team exploded offensively on Friday night, overpowering Holy Cross, 11–2, in CHSAA A Division action at the Aviator Rink.

The victory evens the Eagles’ record at 2–2 and showcased a lineup firing on all cylinders.

From the opening faceoff, St. Peter’s set the tone. Nick Aversa struck just 32 seconds into the game, burying a feed from Anthony Antenucci and Joseph Donadio to make it 1–0. Moments later, Antenucci delivered again — this time a perfectly threaded pass to Kingston Vandenheuvel, who snapped home the Eagles’ second goal only 1:26 later.

Antenucci wasn’t done. At 4:39, he went coast-to-coast, slicing through the defense to extend the lead to 3–0.

What followed was an avalanche of St. Peter’s offense.

• Donadio, set up by Danny Pieters, made it 4–0.

• Kyle Tuite scored his first varsity goal off a setup from Charles Bailey for a 5–0 advantage.

• Donadio struck again — his second of the night — off a feed from Antenucci to push the lead to 6–0.

• Giancarlo Sears, assisted by Vandenheuvel, capped St. Peter’s dominant first period with the team’s seventh goal.

Holy Cross got one back, but the Eagles ended the opening frame firmly in control, up 7–1.

The second period brought more milestones. James Boylan netted his first varsity goal, finishing a clean pass from Nick King to make it 8–1. Moments later, Avery Lee scored his first varsity goal as well, an unassisted effort that stretched the lead to 9–1.

With just nine seconds left in the period, Antenucci once again went end-to-end, completing his brilliant night with another dazzling goal and sending St. Peter’s into the intermission up 10–2.

In the third, Sears struck again — this time off another Antenucci setup — to close out the scoring at 11–2.

Antenucci led the team with two goals and four assists, while Sears (2G, 1A), Donadio (2G, 1A), Vandenheuvel (1G, 1A), and King (2A) powered a balanced offensive performance.

Goaltender Christopher DiDonna was strong between the pipes, making 21 saves.
