NTFA Summer League Recap

NTFA played its final 2021 Summer League game on Monday, August 9, 2021.  After three seasons of 4 v 4, NTFA returned to the normal IFF format of 5 v 5 plus goalies.  A total of 43 players participated with most playing all nine games.

Two different teams (Red and Blue) were selected each week so players had different teammates and different opponents.  With 3 x 20 min periods, everybody received ample playing time and games were extremely competitive.

Jonathan Yonai led all field players with 23 points (12 goals and 11 assists) followed by his brother Matthew with 21 points (12 goals, 9 assists) and Dan Torretta with 20 points (9 goals, 11 assists).  Both leading goalies played in 8 of the 9 games and faced a large number of scoring chances.  Alex Gross had 254 saves on 302 shots against for a .841 save percentage while Ethan VanPatten stopped 197 of 249 shots faced for a .791 save percentage.

The NTFA National Team will be practicing the next two Monday nights while they prepare to defend their championship title at U.S. Nationals in Birmingham, August 28-29.
