AUBURN – Steven Rouillard is going to get his points.

He knows it. His father, Ron, the Leavitt hockey team’s coach, knows it. The Leavitt fans know it, and so does the rest of the league.

But to stop Leavitt this year means stopping more than just Steven Rouillard.

Just ask the York Wildcats, the latest prey to the Hornets’ buzzing hockey machine this season.

Rouillard scored two goals and added a pair of assists, but Tyler Robitaille had a goal and two assists and Scott Cloutier and Cooper Legee also netted goals to lead Leavitt past defending Western Class B champion York 5-1 at Ingersoll Arena on Wednesday.

“We played well against a good York team,” Ron Rouillard said. “We skated hard, and we’re coming more together as a team now.”

York is a shell of last year’s state contender, having graduated 12 players from last year’s squad, and losing another to junior hockey.

“We were also missing two-thirds of our first line,” York coach Michael Vessey said.

But the Wildcats can still play some hockey.

Junior Cody Violette made 14 saves to earn the win for the Hornets (7-2), who have lost to Cape Elizabeth (2-0) and to Class A power Scarborough. Violette was a forward on the team’s first line last season. This year, he’s the go-to guy between the pipes.

“He played some time as the JV goalie last year,” Ron Rouillard said. “He’s played some growing up, too, so it’s not like he’s coming into this cold, but you see he’s starting to get much more comfortable back there.”

Robitaille put Leavitt on top at 12:44 of the first, picking the left side of the net as the trailing player on a 3-on-1. Steven Rouillard made it 2-0 at 8:23 of the second, capping a breakaway with a backhand deke move, and Cloutier shoveled home the Hornets’ third of the night at 9:20 of the middle frame after Eagan Nadeau fired the puck off the boards behind the net.

“I thought we played pretty flat in the first two periods,” Vessey said. “I told the boys if we continued to play like that, we’d empty the bench in the third, and that’s what we did.”

Steve Rouillard potted a short-handed goal just 1:44 into the third to put his team ahead 4-0, only to have Anthony Figlioli break the shutout at 3:23 after he stole the puck at center, flew past a Leavitt defender and beat Violette low glove.

Legee finished things off with 4:58 to play on a turnover at the Wildcats’ blue line, burying the puck on an ensuing breakaway.
