Calgary Flames prospect Matthew Coronato is off and running in the Ivy League.
The 18-year-old winger scored his first NCAA goal just 1:10 into his first game with the Harvard Crimson men’s ice hockey team.
With Harvard on the penalty kill early in the first period of its season-opening game against Dartmouth College, Coronato stole the puck from an attacker at his own blue line and broke in uncontested against goaltender Justin Ferguson.
Coronato roofed a wrister on Ferguson’s glove side to give Harvard a 1-0 lead. Here’s the video of the goal, as posted to Twitter by the official Harvard men’s hockey team account:
Save that puck!
