Dear Fans of Central Catholic Hockey, 

As we turn our calendars to October, and as I write this le er it can only mean one thing 

– Viking hockey is right around the corner! It never ceases to amaze me the changes in 

skill, speed, and body mass that our athletes undergo from freshman to senior year. It is 

truly a testament to the commitment of the players, coaches, and parents. Our hockey 

program had a very successful season last year and I look forward to watching our 

hockey teams compete in the upcoming season. 

One important dimension of the Central Catholic mission is the Chris an Brothers belief 

that community is a sign of God's presence among us. Consequently, building genuine 

community is an important – some would say defining – element of a Central Catholic 

educa on. The team spirit and brotherhood witnessed by the Central Catholic studentathletes 

is an inspiring example of this sen ment. Central Catholic is one of the most 

geographically diverse student bodies in the region and todays' Vikings come from 

countless neighborhoods, parishes and school districts represen ng three coun es in 

southwestern Pennsylvania. Building this genuine community requires everyone's 

commitment – parents, coaches, teachers, staff, and Brothers. This important work 

starts when some of these boys first step on the ice for middle school hockey and 

con nues long a er these young men receive their diplomas at Soldiers and Sailors 

Memorial Hall. Through daily interac on in class and par cipa on in athle cs and extracurricular 

ac vi es, friendships are established that last a life me. Genera ons of Viking 

friendships formed and bonded on the ice have outlasted the tests of me and give 

credence to our commitment to being an authen c community. The hockey team is a 

key part of our achieving this goal. 

On behalf of the Chris an Brothers, administra on and faculty, I thank our Boosters, 

parents, coaches and players for crea ng a team worthy of the Central Catholic tradi on. 

Enjoy the season and celebrate the skills, good sportsmanship and healthy rivalry that 

makes Viking hockey such an important part of our community! 

Live Jesus in our Hearts. . . . Forever! 

Br. Tony Baginski, FSC 

Principal

Tradition as defined in the dictionary “an inherited, established, or customary pattern of 

thought, action, or behavior.” For many it is just a word, for the family of Central 

Catholic it is truly a bond that ties those first young men in 1927 to the current day 

student body. “Tradition of Excellence” has never been truer today for our Central 

Catholic Viking Hockey program. 

Again, this year we have 60 young men proudly wearing the Viking horns, committed to 

build on last year's success. The 2016-17 Vikings exciting run to the PIHL Penguins Cup 

Final set the bar for future Vikings. Our players know that with hard work and 

commitment, anything can be accomplished and this year's team has been working hard 

to uphold the tradition of excellence both on and off the ice. As John Wooden said, “It 

takes time to create excellence. If it could be done quickly, more people would do it.” We 

look forward to watching all of our teams work to achieve their goals during the 2017-18 

season. 

Our young men truly are men of faith, scholarship and service, meeting rigorous 

guidelines established by the Christian Brothers in an effort to grow our boys to men in 

the four years they spend at 4720 Fifth Avenue. During their time with the ice hockey 

program, we bring their faith into the locker room and on the ice, with prayer, displays of 

sportsmanship, and by welcoming all of the challenges we encounter. Their scholarship is 

displayed by meeting the high academic standards of Central Catholic simultaneously 

with the rigorous athletic program necessary to be competitive on the ice. Service is 

displayed by contributing yearly in a program wide service project designed not only to 

assist the community in some special way, but also to teach the boys valuable lessons that 

can only be learned when assisting others in need. 

We thank the Christian Brothers for their continued support of our players on and off the 

ice. We thank the school administration and coaching staff for their unwavering support 

as the program continues to grow at a fast rate. We thank the parents, whose support 

through volunteer hours and monetary support help their children round out their 

experience at Central Catholic through this great sport of ice hockey. Finally, we would 

especially like to thank all of our sponsors for their continued support. 

We look forward to following each of our teams as they continue their journey on the ice 

and through the mystical halls of Central Catholic.

About Central Catholic 

The History 

Shortly after the Most Reverend Hugh C. Boyle was elevated to the 

episcopacy, he began a secondary school expansion program in Pittsburgh. 

To support the development of centralized, well-equipped high schools, the 

Bishop organized a campaign in 1923 to raise funds. The irst fruit of the 

campaign was the erection of Central District Catholic High School and 

faculty house in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. 

The architectural style is Flemish Gothic, whose soaring towers and 

buttresses express strength and solidity. In the auditorium, the large stained 

glass windows represent the various countries from which the Catholic 

population of Pittsburgh originally migrated. Inscribed on each window is 

the seal of the country, the names of its patron saint and two of its notable 

Catholic citizens. The countries represented on the left side of the auditorium (moving from front to rear) 

are Ireland, Spain, Germany, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. On the right 

side, moving in the same order, are England, Italy, Poland, France, Bohemia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and 

Belgium. 

The new high school was dedicated by Bishop Boyle on 11 September 1927. On the following day 488 boys, 

from 42 parishes in the central section of the city, registered in the ninth grade, the only grade functioning 

that year. On the original faculty were fourteen Christian Brothers. 

In the 1950s, enrollment reached a peak of 1,800. A concentrated effort by the school Administration 

brought the enrollment down to a size more consistent with the physical facilities and modern educational 

trends. 

The average class size has been reduced from 45 to 21 students. Today the student body numbers about 

845 boys, taught by 10 Christian Brothers, 55 lay faculty, and one priest. The students have approximately 

100 course offerings from which to choose. The academic program remains in the forefront of 

contemporary educational approaches. 

In 1978, Alumni Hall was opened. The building provided long-needed, expanded facilities for the school’s 

physical education, intramural and athletic programs. Academic facilities were upgraded with state-of-theart 

biology, physics, and chemistry laboratories. Donated by Mr. & Mrs. John Ryan, Jr., the Ryan Science 

Center meets the demands of the contemporary science curriculum. In addition, some of the proceeds from 

the annual Viking Victory Auction were used to renovate classrooms and faculty of ices, create a computer 

lab, and equip the building for computer technology programs. 

In 2000, the Blue & Gold capital campaign was established to renovate the athletic ield, the old gym, and 

Alumni Hall. The campaign also provided a synthetic grass ield to accommodate year-round usage. The 

remodeled old gym now includes Coaches’ Pavilion, a itness complex, and the Peter J. Spadaro Performing 

Arts Center, accommodating the music and drama programs.

Mission 

Central Catholic High School, a college preparatory school for boys, is guided by the educational principles 

of St. John Baptist de La Salle. The school strives to provide a challenging, relevant, and diverse program of 

studies and extracurricular activities in an environment that fosters a life of faith and learning and develops 

leaders rooted in the Gospel values of integrity, respect, service, justice, and peace. 

The Central Catholic Promise: To inspire boys to become Men of Faith, Men of Scholarship, Men of Service.

Central Catholic offers Ice Hockey as a club sport at the Varsity, Junior 

Varsity and Middle School levels. The Vikings compete in the PIHL 

(Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League) at the Class AAA Level. The Vikings utilize many of the area 

ice facilities for practice and game slots. While currently utilizing two area ice facilities for practice, the goal 

of our program is to have our players on the ice an average of 3-4 times per week in either practice or games. 

The hockey program also utilizes the school weight room and gym facilities for player off-ice conditioning.

Central has taught me many things but most 

important to lead by example on and off the 

ice. 

Who has influenced your hockey career or who 

do you admire and why? 

My Mom and Dad have influenced me greatly. 

They taught me work ethic and to never give 

up. I will always be thankful to my Dad, who 

was up early every weekend taking me to 

games and practices and my Mom for making 

sure we had everything we needed when we 

went on hockey trips. 

What is your favorite quote? 

"The name on the front is a hell of a lot more 

important than the one on the back." - Herb 

Brooks

player in the NHL today. 

What are your plans for after graduation?

career and play club hockey. 

What would you want your teammates to 

remember about you? 

I want my teammates to remember that every 

time I stepped on the ice, a team win was more 

important than any individual achievement. 

What would you "will" to an underclassman 

and who would you "will" it to? 

To all underclassmen, don't take for granted 

that it is an honor to play for Central Catholic 

and play every shift of every game as if it were 

your last. It goes fast!

Central Catholic has taught me brotherhood

Who has influenced your hockey career or 

who do you admire and why? 

The two most influential people in my hockey career are 

my dad and brother. My dad was there to coach my 

7:00am or 9:00pm practices, rain or shine, ice or snow. I

brother, JK, was always there with advice, both solicited 

and unsolicited, and to offer a challenge in the backyard. 

I learned from him how to compete until you beat the 

unbeatable.

on the back." 

-Herb

Herb Brooks because in 1980 he coached a group of 

college students to Olympic history in the stunning 

defeat of the USSR. 


My plans after graduation are to attend college in 

pursuit of an engineering degree. 



I would like my teammates to remember me for 

giving my all in each game and always having fun 

along the way. 



I would like to "will" the underclassmen a nice loud

Viking Senior 



Getting to the Pens Cup and playing in it last 

year was exciting. Also, going to Nationals 

sophomore and junior year and spending 

time with the team. 


Central has taught me to work hard and 

how important brotherhood is. 



My parents because of the times my Dad 

took me to public skates when I was first 

learning to skate and the countless hours 

they have spent at hockey rinks. 


“I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, I’m 

thinking of making a few more.”

underclassman and who would you 

"will" it to? 

I’d will to my brother, Colby, the knowledge 

that the years at Central go by very quickly 

and that he should enjoy them while they 

last.

Viking Senior 

Jacob Guest 



Finding the light switch in the Harmarville 

locker room so we could turn off the lights and 

nap before Monday practices. 


It has taught me perseverance, hard work, and 

the importance of brotherhood. 



My Dad has been the greatest influence over 

my hockey career by far. From coaching, to 

watching from the bleachers, he has always 

been there to guide me and help me grow. 

Through the good times and bad he has always 

been there to show me the way. 


“When your life flashes before your eyes, make 

sure you have something to watch." 



and why? 

Jake Tepe, because he always picks up the bill. 


Study business or computer engineering 

wherever I end up.

Zachary Lesniakowski 

Viking Senior 



It was my Junior year as the JV starter and it was 

the first playoff win in several years. 


Central Catholic taught me what it means to be in 

the Central Brotherhood. The Christian 

Brotherhood for me has truly made friendships 

that will last a lifetime. It has also taught me a 

good work ethic that you have to work hard and 

put in a strong effort to achieve your goals. 



The Central Catholic Ice Hockey coaching staff. 

They saw my potential freshman year and were 

willing to work with me and develop my skills, 

especially Coach Petrella and Coach Eller. I 

developed a special relationship with Coach Eller 

by seeing him every day at school and helping 

mentor me not just for hockey but academically. 


"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines" 

- Robert H. Schuller 

If you could pick one hockey player, past 

or present, to have dinner with, who 

would it be and why? 

Marc Andre Fleury because he seems like a cool 

dude. I would like to get some goalie pointers and 

learn how to be a better teammate. 


graduation? 

I plan on attending college and pursuing a career 

in Environmental Studies and Public Policy.

attend St. Maurice Parish. Zach has played Central Catholic 

Viking hockey for 4 years. 



I want them to remember my dedication to the 

team and helping them out in any way I could. 


underclassman and who would you 

"will" it to? 

I would will the knowledge that these next four 

years go by very fast and enjoy and cherish every 

moment you have as a Viking.

Viking Senior 

Mac Martin 



My greatest Central Catholic Hockey moment is the 

whole playoff journey last season. The entire 

journey really just made me row closer with the 

guys and realize how special a group of guys we 

have here. 


Central has taught me that one place can change a 

group of strangers to brothers. It’s really special 

here. 

Who has influenced your hockey career or who 

do you admire and why? 

Ryan Haag, he has always been a player that I have 

looked up to and wanted to be like. The way he 

played and carried himself on and off the ice made 

me want to recreate that for myself. He has always 

been a model player for me. 


“The 4 looks like a window” 

-Bill Connolly 



and why? 

I would pick Alex Ovechkin, just because he’s the 

man. 


I plan to attend college and pursue accounting. 



I want everyone to remember about me that no 

matter how serious or sad things got during the 

season, I always laughed and had fun. If you don’t 

have fun and enjoy your time there’s no point in 

playing. 



I would “will” the idea of leadership and hard work 

to my brother Dayne. I want him to continue to 

grow and become a better player. 

Number: 32 | Forward | Height: 5' 11"| Weight: 175 

Mac is the son of Sean and Tracy, and brother to Dayne 

(CCHS ’19), Tully (St. Joseph School). They live in Penn 

Hills and attend St. Joseph Parish. Mac has played hockey 

for 10 years, 7 with Central Catholic Viking Hockey.

Nick Nuzzo 

Viking Senior 

What was your greatest Central Catholic Hockey 

moment and why? 

My greatest Central Catholic hockey moment was freshman 

year playing against Erie Cathedral Prep. It was late in the 

game and we were looking for a rally. Being new to the team 

I wasn't very outgoing on the ice. However Coach Petrella 

told me to go out next shift and make some noise. So I went 

out and laid a clean open ice hip check, which flipped one of 

the Cathedral Prep forwards. The bench went crazy and it 

felt good being able to make a small play that would rally the 

team late in the third. 


Central Catholic has taught me to be the best man I can be 

both in school and outside of it. Faith, Scholarship, and 

Service have become the primary principals by which I live 

my life every day. It has also given me a sense of 

brotherhood among 200 plus students. I didn't believe in 

brotherhood when I first walked in the doors, however four 

years later it’s all I know. The sense of brotherhood at 

Central is something I'll have until I die, and I will cherish it 

forever. 

Who has influenced your hockey career or who do 

you admire and why? 

My parents have greatly influenced my hockey career. From 

early morning weekend games and practices to late night 

HS hockey games, my parents were there every step of the 

way. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today, and 

certainly wouldn't have hockey. I admire my parents very 

much because they are the hardest working people I know. 

They work tirelessly to provide me the opportunities to go 

to Central and play hockey, and all the other things I'm a 

part of. I hope to give my own kids the same opportunities 

my parents gave and continue to give to me. 

Number: 27 | Center | Height: 5’ 9”| Weight: 150 

Nick is the son of J. and Tammy and brother to Anthony 

(Central Catholic), Alaina, and Luke (both at Mother of Sorrows 

School). They live in Murrysville and attend Mother of Sorrows 

Parish. Nick has played hockey for 10years, 4 as a Central 

Catholic Viking. 


“Saturday's are for the Boys.” 

- The Boys 

If you could pick one hockey player, past or present, 

to have dinner with, who would it be and why? 

Sidney Crosby because he is one of the greatest to 

ever play the game. 


I plan to major in business finance with minors in sports 

marketing and sports law. I hope to attend Miami University 

at Oxford Ohio. 

What would you want your teammates to remember 

about you? 

I'd like my teammates to remember me as a hardworking 

player who although isn't the best, gives his all every chance 

he gets. 

What would you "will" to an underclassman and who 

would you "will" it to? 

I'd will my '09 Honda Civic to CJ Simione. He needs 

something to attract the ladies.

HAVE A GREAT SEASON!! 

XOXO

HOCKEY 

It has been a key element of our 

Life with you~ 

Your dad coaching, years of early morning practices, knee 

hockey in hotel halls, your older sisters in the stands 

distracting the boys on the ice, your team taking over the hot 

tub after a big win, your little sister's motivational note's on the 

team water bottles that you secretly put on a team mates back 

during a game, and me- forever trying to wash the stink out of 

hockey gear! And through it all, seeing you grow into the player 

and ne young man you've become. We loved it all !! 

SO…..
