WorSharks end seven game skid with 2-1 win over Bridgeport

The Worcester Sharks went into Saturday night’s contest against Bridgeport without a win in their seven games since the AHL’s All Star break, and with the Sound Tigers in the midst of a seven game winning streak of their own and them getting NHL goaltender Kevin Poulin down from the New York Islanders odds weren’t […]

WorSharks losing streak hits seven in 6-4 loss to Portland

The Worcester Sharks certainly have found the easiest way to lose games after once again allowing the opponent to score on their first shot of the game–the third time in four contests the WorSharks have done that–and then after failing to score on an extended five on three situation the only thing really in doubt […]

WorSharks crowned by Monarchs, lose 5-1

The Worcester Sharks started off their post All-Star break schedule the exactly opposite as they wanted to–sleepwalking through a 5-1 loss to the Manchester Monarchs Friday night at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire in front of 4,595 fans. Freddie Hamilton scored the lone goal for the WorSharks, while Troy Grosenick had 38 […]

WorSharks enter All-Star break on a high note beating St John’s 4-2

The WorSharks Sharks jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Travis Oleksuk, Eriah Hayes, and captain Rob Davison, only to watch that lead slowly shrink to a single goal before Dan DaSilva’s empty netter as time was winding down sealed the deal in the WorSharks 4-2 victory over the St John’s IceCaps Sunday […]

WorSharks face too many hurdles in St John’s, lose 5-2

The Worcester Sharks got off to a quick start but unfortunately some poor play and two outrageously bad calls by referee Mark Lemelin put the WorSharks too far behind to be able to catch up as they dropped a 5-2 contest to the St John’s IceCaps Saturday night at the Mile One Centre in St. […]

WorSharks tickled pink in 3-2 win over Providence

The Worcester Sharks had lots of hills to climb Saturday night; they don’t win many games in front of big crowds, they don’t win often when on local TV, they lately just can’t find a way to beat the Providence Bruins, and don’t get much luck wearing specialty jerseys. Two goals by Brodie Reid and […]

WorSharks use quick start to defeat Springfield 5-2

The Worcester Sharks started off slowly Wednesday night, and looked determined not to let that happen against another division leader as the WorSharks came out on firing on all cylinders. Worcester eventually got three assists from Yanni Gourde and two goals each from Dan DaSilva and Travis Oleksuk to defeat the Springfield Falcons 5-2 Friday […]

WorSharks slow start leads to 6-3 loss to Binghamton

The Worcester Sharks’ schedule said Wednesday night’s game against the Binghamton Senators started at 7pm, but apparently the WorSharks thought it started about 40 minutes later as Worcester fell behind 3-0 early to the American Hockey League’s best offense and could never catch up in dropping a 6-3 contest at the DCU Center in Worcester, […]

WorSharks lose three goal lead, still win 4-3 in shootout

The Worcester Sharks had a quiet first 27 minutes of Sunday’s game against the Manchester Monarchs, only to explode for three goals in the next seven minutes and then watch that lead slowly roll away as the game headed into overtime and then a shootout where the WorSharks finally prevailed to win 4-3 at the […]

WorSharks come up small in front of a big crowd, lose 3-2 to Providence

The Worcester Sharks always have problems playing in front of large crowds at home, and despite a Gordie Howe hat trick by Dan DaSilva and a pretty good performance from Harri Sateri the WorSharks once again couldn’t get the job done against the Providence Bruins in dropping a 3-2 contest Saturday night at the DCU […]

WorSharks can’t get it done in Manchester, lose 2-1

The Worcester Sharks six game point streak came to an end not with a bang but with a slow yawn as the WorSharks sleepwalked through a 2-1 loss to the Manchester Monarchs Friday night at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire in front of a crowd laughingly listed at 4,507. Matt Tennyson notched […]

DaSilva DaMan in WorSharks 6-3 win over Portland

The Worcester Sharks got four point nights from both Dan DaSilva and Travis Oleksuk, including a hat trick for DaSilva, and three assists from Yanni Gourde to help lead the WorSharks to a 6-3 win over the Portland Pirates at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine in front of 1,632 fans in a rare […]

WorSharks scoreless but not pointless in 1-0 OT loss to Norfolk

The Worcester Sharks did about as well as you could possibly do without scoring a goal when Saturday night’s contest against the Norfolk Admirals once again turned into the Harri Sateri and John Gibson Show, only unlike Friday night it was Admirals coming out on top while the WorSharks earned the bonus point after Konrad […]

Sateri, WorSharks take two from Norfolk in 3-2 shootout win

The Worcester Sharks spent 11 hours on a bus on Wednesday for a weekend trip south to Norfolk, Virginia, and for the first 35 minutes of Friday night’s game it was like they never left home as their hot streak from last weekend’s three-in-three victories continued in The Old Dominion State. Unfortunately a momentum changing […]

WorSharks defeat Pirates 4-3 for six point weekend

The Worcester Sharks new look offense continued on their latest hot streak, but unlike Friday and Saturday’s wins Sunday’s contest came down to the final horn as Worcester defeated the Portland Pirates 4-3 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts in front of 3,558 fans. Ten different WorSharks players recorded points and both Troy Grosenick […]

WorSharks torpedo Admirals in 5-1 victory

The Worcester Sharks got a delayed video review goal from Freddie Hamilton, followed by nice goals from Adam Comrie and Yanni Gourde, and behind a solid 24 save performance from Troy Grosenick turned back the Norfolk Admirals 5-1 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts in front of a crowd of 3,616. With a win […]

WorSharks new look pays dividends early in 3-1 win over Hartford

The Worcester Sharks did some roster shuffling over the past week, and at least in the short term it worked out well as newcomer Tyler Gron scored the WorSharks first goal of the game and returning fan favorite Yanni Gourde added an assist on the go ahead tally to help lead Worcester to a 3-1 […]

An open letter to San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson

Dear Doug Wilson: First off, I’d like to welcome you back to Worcester. It’s been pretty cold here, and most everyone is hoping that it will warm up a little in the near future. Of course, we have lots of New England curmudgeons that think it will never heat up, but there are a few […]

WorSharks sleepwalk through 8-2 loss to Providence

The Worcester Sharks ended their five game road trip with a Sunday afternoon contest against the Providence Bruins. Or, maybe more correctly, the schedule said there was a game in Providence because for the most part the WorSharks acted like their road trip was already over as they pulled a virtual no show in a […]
