Golden games

It's been a long time coming for the Central scholastic men's ice hockey team, but they finally captured the gold.

Central completed its undefeated run in the Empire States games with a 3-2 win over Western in the gold medal game on Sunday, ending Western's domination of the event.

“The Western team has won like the last nine or 10 years in a row,” said Central defender and Auburn native Zach Marginsky. “It was nice to finally end that streak and take the gold. The Central teams haven't been able to win gold medals very much so that made it extra nice.”
