Worcester Sharks

Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr announced that Worcester Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock will wear a specially designed W6 Tribute Mask to raise money and awareness for the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

San Jose Sharks goaltending prospect Alex Stalock has agreed to wear and autograph a specially designed W6 Tribute Mask for games in late November through December 6 while playing for the Worcester Sharks in the American Hockey League.

The Worcester Sharks will host Heroes Night—A Tribute to the Worcester 6, on Sunday, December 6 at the DCU Center at 3pm.

On December 3, 1999 a five-alarm fire began in the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse in Worcester, Massachusetts and raged for six days. Six brave firefighters lost their lives, Firefighters Paul Brotherton, Jeremiah Lucey, Timothy Jackson, James Lyons, Joseph McGuirk and Lieutenant Thomas Spencer.

On this tenth year anniversary, the Worcester Sharks have partnered with the Worcester Fire and Police Departments to honor these six individuals and to raise funds for the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and the burn care unit at the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

“The Worcester Sharks are very proud to be associated with Worcester Police and Fire Departments,” said Lehr. “Alex was very gracious to offer to wear the mask in hopes of raising money and awareness for the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and the Shriners Hospitals for Children.”

The W6 Tribute Mask will be worn through December 6 and be auctioned off on NHL.com and SharksAHL.com beginning on Tuesday, December 2nd at 12pm (EST) through Wednesday, December 9 at 3pm (EST).

Proceeds from the W6 Tribute Mask auction will go to the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and Shriners Hospitals for Children via Sharks Charities.

Ryan Vesce and Dan DaSilva gave Worcester an early 2-0 lead, but the Sharks could not hold on and dropped their sixth straight game in a 5-3 loss to the Portland Pirates on Wednesday night at the DCU Center.

Mark Mancari scored the game winner, and his second goal of the game, at 14:30 of the third period on the power play off a great pass from Nathan Gerbe to give the Pirates their first lead of the game. 

The Sharks led 2-0 and 3-1, before the Pirates scored the final four goals of the game.

The first period was a strong one for the Sharks as Ryan Vesce put them ahead early when he came streaking across the blue line and fired a snapshot by Pirates goaltender J.P. Lamoureux.

Dennis McCauley fired up the bench at 8:24 when he fought Hans Benson, landing several strong punches. Later in the period, Dan DaSilva extended the Sharks lead to 2-0 when he finished on a 3-on-2 break down the ice. Final shots in the period were 11-8 in favor of the Sharks.

Early in the second period, Portland cut into the lead when Alex Stalock lost the puck behind his own net, which led to Tyler Ennis’s seventh goal of the season at 45 seconds.

Less than a minute later at 1:41, Benn Ferriero extended the lead to 3-1 scoring his first goal in a Worcester Sharks uniform after Logan Couture maneuvered around the Pirates netminder. The assist for Couture extended his point streak to seven games (5-8-13).

The Pirates trimmed the lead to 3-2 when Mark Mancari fired a slap shot from the right circle off the far post past goaltender Alex Stalock at 6:44. The Sharks lead the period in shots 18-7, and took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission.

The Pirates dominated the third period as Derek Whitmore tied the score at 3-3 at 9:44 firing a centering feed by Kyle Wanvig, past Stalock. The Pirates took their first lead of the game when Mark Mancari blasted home a one-timer from the slot at 14:30 after a terrific feed by Gerbe on a 4-on-3 power play.

Jeff Cowan capped off the scoring when he found the empty net with less than five seconds left in the game. Portland outshot Worcester 15-3 in the third period and took home a 5-3 victory

With the loss, the Sharks fall to 8-9-0-1 (17 points) on the season, and 5-6-0-0 at the DCU Center.
