SARATOGA SPRINGS – The fifteenth annual Don Kauth Memorial Tournament took place in a round-robin format on Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5 at Clifton Park Arena and Weibel Avenue rink – honoring Kauth, a Saratoga Springs resident who tragically lost his life on 9/11 while working at the World Trade Center. Don was 51 years old and was an avid supporter of Saratoga Springs Youth Hockey. Participating were Saratoga Springs and Shenendehowa, as well as Mamaroneck and St. Joe’s Collegiate Prep from Buffalo.
Saratoga rebounded from a Friday night 5-3 loss to eventual tournament winner Mamaroneck, with a strong 4-2 victory over St. Joe’s on Saturday afternoon, which clinched second place in the tournament for the Blue Streaks. In Saturday’s contest, Saratoga goalkeeper Tom Fornabia recorded 28 saves, and Blue Streak goals were recorded by Josh Dagle, Brendan Coffey, Jake Fauler and Ryan Robens. Coffey was named outstanding Defenseman for the Tournament.
