Meskin leading Bishop Canevin hockey team in early going
Bishop Canevin junior netminder Nikita Meskin is picking up this season right where he left off in March.
Meskin has dominated early in the season, stopping 43-of-44 shots in two games to help the Crusaders to a 2-0 start with wins over 2011-12 Class AA playoff teams Pine-Richland and Plum.
The two wins pushed Canevin into the 500-win club, joining Kittanning and Upper St. Clair as the only Western Pennsylvania schools to win that many games.
Meskin was 13-3-1 in net last season for Canevin, who qualified for the Class AA playoffs but lost to Pine-Richland 5-1 in the first round.
Meskin stopped 27-of-28 shots in Canevin’s 2-1 victory over the Rams in the season opener on Oct. 29.
