ANN ARBOR - Saline's varsity hockey team opened the season by defeating South Lyon Unified, 5-2, Wednesday at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.
Joe Raupp scored two goals, Colton Cundiff had three assists and Griffin Granica turned aside 28 of 30 shots to lead the Hornets.
Also scoring for Saline were Griffin Clark (1G, 1A), Josh Peitz and Cayden Brush. Keegan Bunting and Sasha Lozovyy each had two assists.
South Lyon opened the scoring with 1:59 left in the first, just a few seconds after Saline failed to connect on the power play. Mitch Skamara got behind the Hornet defense and scored.
The Hornets were skating well but also spending a lot of time in the penalty box.
Finally, with 4:58 to play in the second period, the Hornets broke the ice. Sasha Lozovyy won a board battle behind the South Lyon net and centered the puck to Raupp, who chipped it past goalie Evan Smith.
The Hornets took the lead less than three minutes later on the powerplay. Cundiff slid the puck point-to-point to Bunting, who slid the puck to Clark, who fired it past Smith's shoulder. Saline carried the 2-1 lead into the third period.
It took a little more than two minutes for the Hornets to score. Bunting chased a puck into the corner and centered it to the slot for Josh Petz, who backhanded the puck past Smith to make it 3-1.
Moments later Cayden Brush scored one of the prettiest goals you'll see all year, chipping the puck to himself, deking a defenseman and sliding it through the goalie.
Less than a minute later, Raupp continued the onslaught, firing a wrist shot over Smith's shoulder to make it 5-1. South Lyon Unified added a late goal.
The Hornets host Bedford Thursday.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
