HEADLINES  | | | Raiders Holiday Stick & Shoots The Raiders will be hosting several Holiday Stick and Shoot Sessions.

There will be Raiders coaches on the ice, but the idea is for this to be pond hockey, no coaching or coordinated structure
Pucks will be provided for all sessions (Blue for younger players, Black for older)
Scrimmage games can be played, but must be cross-ice or using 1/3 of the ice to allow those who may want to just work on skills ice as well
Cost to attend is $10 per skater, goalies can play for free - Payment must be given to a Reston Raiders Board Member who will be outside the locker room prior to taking the ice - Do Not Pay at the SkateQuest Desk

| 10U 2009 Blue Wins HarborCenter Cup!! The Reston Raiders 10UAA Blue team ventured north to the Queen City of the Lakes, Buffalo, New York and the 2019 HarborCenter 10UAA Cup over the weekend of November 22nd-24th. In their opening game, the Raiders overpowered the Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles on Day 1 in Buffalo. On Saturday morning, it was a different story when the Raiders met a determined foe in Team Ohio of Westlake, Ohio. The Raiders fell short in that game, 7-4, which set up a showdown with the West Seneca Wings in the third and final preliminary game with a spot in the semi-finals on the line. The Raiders started fast and controlled the majority of the play, ending up on top, 5-0, to finish second in the group.
On Championship Sunday, as the sun rose over majestic downtown Buffalo, the Raiders jumped out early on a strong and well-coached Amherst Knights team and never let up, winning 5-1, to set up a rematch in the afternoon final against Team Ohio. The championship game was a tense affair, with both teams trading blows, but the Raiders had good energy early and then showed a lot of grit and determination late in defending a lead, to prevail by a final score of 4-3. After the game, the Raiders took turns spinning around the HarborCenter main rink with the Cup, posing for pictures, signing autographs and generally soaking in the tournament title before the long, but happy, drive back to Northern Virginia.
The team had a great time off the ice as well, enjoying outdoor skating in Canalside, taking in a Canisius-RPI game, and eating plenty of Tim Horton’s donuts, wings, beef on weck, and Ted’s hot dogs. The members of the team are: Ben Schaffer, Ben Pollack, Ben Labbe, Calvin Crosson, Clark Crosson, Carter Scott, Connor Murtha, Cormac Jarvis, James Wu, Joe Scodellaro, Kaj Horowitz, Lucas Trachtenberg, Max Markakos, Nathan Lerner, William Abrantes, and Zayden Roe. The team is coached by Matt Scodellaro, Larry Roe, Pete Markakos, Pete Horowitz, Chris Jarvis, Tom Scott, James Murtha & Andre Abrantes, strength and conditioning coach Chip Labbe and the team is managed by Angie Scodellaro.
| 16U Silver Win Congressional Cup Thanksgiving Classic!! The Reston Raider 16u Silver took first place in the Washington DC Congressional Cup over the Thanksgiving Day weekend. Their tournament victory was highlighted by exceptional goaltending and team play. On the path to the championship, 16u Silver faced teams from Virginia, Maryland and New York before playing Suffolk County in the championship game. The final was a physical contest where the Raiders took a 2-0 lead in the first. Suffolk scored early in the second and Reston answered minutes later to maintain their 2 goal lead. The game went back and forth with both teams scoring again to end the second period 4-2. After a goal by Suffolk with 6 minutes left in the third period, bringing them within one goal, the Reston Raider 16u Silver team maintained discipline, composure and tenacity to win with a final of 4-3.
Congratulations to 16u Silver.
