The JEC Thunder began the 2017-18 JV season with their home opener against YDE.

A tightly contested first period saw both teams feeling each other out until the remaining seconds of the period when sophomore forward, Dovid Rozehzadeh, scored his first goal of the evening from the right wing, on a near-side wrist shot, with 3.3 second left to give JEC the late 1-0 lead.

As the second period began, JEC wasted very little time building upon their lead as Rozehzadeh once again scored from the high slot after a beautiful pass from the corner by sophomore Netanel Schmutter to give JEC a 2-0 lead, one they wouldn’t relinquish for the rest of the evening. The Thunder kept the pressure on with Rozehzadeh scoring another two goals along with Aaron Silver, Ben-Zion Kapustin, Josh Krause and Shmaryahu Butler scoring one goal each. With stellar play from net-minder Dov Weitz, blocking shot after shot, JEC cruised to an 8-1 victory.
