#b#PHYA Squad Captures Gold#/b#
The Princeton Youth Hockey Association (PYHA) Tigers Squirt 1 team traveled to the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, New York to compete in the American Cup Tournament in January. The squad won all four of its games to come away with the gold medal.
In the championship game the Tigers defeated the team from Plattsburgh, 3-1, at Herb Brooks Arena, the site of the Miracle on Ice at the 1980 Olympics.
The Tigers also had the chance to skate outside on the Olympic Oval, play pond hockey on the frozen lake, and go bobsledding, among other activities.

#b#Swimmer Chooses Princeton#/b#
Peddie School senior Roman Horoszewski of Princeton Junction has been accepted to Princeton University and will join the Tigers’ NCAA Division I swimming team next year.
Horoszewski considered other Ivies and Navy, but he felt most comfortable with Princeton’s academic reputation and the strength of the coaching staff.
“It was a tough choice that came down to Princeton and Navy,” said Horoszewski, a mid-distance and distance freestyler. “I was on my Navy recruiting trip, actually, and they had a dual meet against Princeton while I was there.
“Rob Orr of Princeton was definitely a major factor in the process, as he is a very charismatic and knowledgeable coach. His new assistant Mike Joyce is fun to be around and did good job making me feel wanted and so much a part of the team.”
A member of two Eastern Interscholastic Championship teams, Horoszewski finished third place in both the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events in 2015.
Later this month Horoszewski and his Falcon teammates will vie for their third Eastern title in four years.
