Sun Valley stuffs foes in Boise


You can’t blame the boys on the Sun Valley High School hockey team if they were walking with a bit of a swagger last weekend.

After all, the Suns wiped out the competition in the Idaho High School Hockey Tournament in Boise, Nov. 29-Dec.1.

The undefeated Suns (8-0) went 5-0 in the tilt, scoring 29 goals and allowing just one.

The Suns worked off their turkey and gravy by stuffing Capital 6-0 Friday morning.

Tate Mills and Zach Bloomfield scored two goals apiece. Single scores were slipped in by Kellen Chatterton and Sinjin Thomas.

Eagle High School gave the Suns their toughest game of the weekend, a 2-1 final. A goal by Mills lifted the Suns to a 1-0 lead in the first period.

Eagle held the Suns at bay until late in the third when Alex Sholes broke through on an assist by Taylor Rothgeb. Eagle cut the lead to one, scoring with 40 seconds remaining in the game, but the Suns held on for their fifth win of the season.

Wins number 6, 7 and 8 came against Meridian, Boise High School and Bishop Kelly by respective scores of 6-0, 8-0 and 7-0.

The Suns were paced in the series by three players who posted eight points apiece; Tate Mills, Zach Bloomfield and Taylor Rothgeb.

Also scoring were Kellen Chatterton 4/2; Noah Loyd 5/0; Matt Fairfax 0/5; Pat Mullen 0/4; Alex Sholes 2/1; Danny Gariepy 1/2; Sinjin Thomas 1/1; Luke Livingston 1/0; Ryan Blackadar 0/1; and Jason Heiner 0/1.

Goalies Joey Bohl and Paul Pfluger collected four shutouts.

The Suns have a return engagement in Boise this weekend. Sun Valley will duel Rock Springs, Wasatch and Boise in the first Intermountain League games of the season.
