Posted on 02/18/2013 at 3:35 pm

Afternoon hockey back on home ice was no panacea for the Trenton Titans, who were looking to shake off a pair of road losses over the weekend. Rob Bellamy scored the first and last goals in the contest, while captain Jean Bourbeau tallied a goal and one assist, while blocking several shots in the Elmira Jackals’ 4-1 victory on Monday. Maxime Clermont picked up the win after stopping 30-of-31 shots, with Jordon Southorn adding another goal for the victorious visitors (28-20-4) Scott Wedgewood made his 18th start in the last 21 games, but fatigue was not a factor in his …

As the threat of severe weather loomed over New Jersey’s capital on Friday night, the Reading Royals and Trenton Titans resumed their rivalry in a taut, yet low-scoring contest which featured another thrilling finish beyond regulation. Ultimately, it was Mike Ullrich’s second goal of the night, coming at the 1:40 mark of overtime, which gave the hosts a 3-2 victory over their bitter division rivals. Ullrich, who in the third period extended his point streak to nine games with a tally, accepted a Chad Langlais pass, flew up the left-wing side then deked a Reading defenseman. He pulled the puck …

ECHL Game Recap: Trenton Titans vs. Gwinnett Gladiators

By Justin Brennan
Posted on 02/07/2013 at 7:44 am

The Trenton Titans took on the Gwinnett Gladiators on Wednesday night as they sought to move within three games of .500 on the season and get a measure of revenge for a 4-2 loss in December. From the outset, it was clear tonight would be a back-and-forth affair. Unfortunately for Trenton, they again came up a little short, falling 3-2 to the Gladiators. The first period started out choppy, with the Titans (18-23-3-3) and Gladiators (29-18-2-1) exchanging icings and neither team finding a way to establish much sustained pressure. In what was probably the Titans’ best foray into the offensive …

By Bob H
Posted on 01/30/2013 at 5:04 pm

Better late than never. While most of us were hyperventilating over what a second meeting between the Flyers and New York Rangers would entail, the ECHL gave Trenton goaltender Cal Heeter a two-game suspension for his puck-firing stunt over the weekend. If you recall, Heeter, recently sent down from the Phantoms to the Titans, was so upset with giving up a goal to Wheeling on Saturday night, that he cleared the puck over the glass and into the stands in frustration. He was given a game misconduct, suspended indefinitely on Sunday and fined an undisclosed amount pending a review, which …
