KITTANNING — The North Hills hockey team gives itself plenty of chances, knowing that eventually it will hit the jackpot.

The Indians cranked out plenty of shots Thursday and scored goals on their first four power play chances as they rolled to a 10-0 victory over Butler at the Belmont Complex.

"What we did is we got a lot of contributions," said Indians coach Matt Hansen. "You can see how they go about their business, getting goals from all three lines and strong defense.

"There's a poker term we've rallied behind, 'All in,' as in every player is important," Hansen added.

The Indians (2-2) defeated North Allegheny 6-3 earlier this season, getting goals from six different scorers.

"That's a sign that things are going well," Hansen added.

Butler goalie Kris Rhodaberger did all he could early on to keep the Tornado (0-4) in the contest. Rhodaberger made 12 saves in the first 11 minutes, allowing only a Dave Hansell goal five minutes into the game.

But North Hills scored a pair of power play goals in a 1 minute, 57 second span to take a 3-0 lead.

Hansell scored the second of his four goals off a Josh Kaule pass while Fred Latini followed with 1:57 left in the period off a Dan Stein assist.

"They are not a team where only one line will beat you," said Butler coach Leo Cancilla. "They beat NA, and you just don't beat NA."

"We always talk about the first five minutes of the game on the road," said Hansen. "That's the timetable to take the crowd out."

Hansell and Stein added second-period goals to open a 5-0 lead. Cancilla pulled Rhodaberger after Hansell's goal with 6:57 left in the period and inserted Justin O'Donnell, to give Rhodaberger a breather.

"He was upset with himself," said Cancilla. "I didn't realize how hard he was breathing when he came out."

O'Donnell made a few saves before Rhodaberger returned and Stein scored with 1:41 left for the five-goal lead.

O'Donnell played the entire third period and the Indians tacked on five more goals, the latter three after the mercy-rule clock had taken effect.

Stein, Hansell, Latini, Nickolas Rostek and Jeremy Kubit each scored for the Indians, with Stein's goal coming on a power play.

"We did have success on the power play," said Hansen. "We were able to get room and open things up."

On the other side, Butler totaled 28 penalty minutes and never got a power play chance.

"There's not a whole lot you can do when you do that," said Cancilla.

"We only have 12 skaters. We've had injuries all year and we have guys playing hurt. You can tell. Normally, we'd have three lines, but they're doing the best they can," Cancilla added.

In the end, Butler goalies managed 39 saves while Indians goalie Kevin Gubish made nine.

"You can't blame the goalies," said Cancilla. "We broke down in front of the goal. When you face 3-on-1s all evening, it's inevitable that the goals will go in the net."
