2009-10 PLAYOFFS
MHSAA State Playoffs began March 1st. Eisenhower drew Dakota as their first game opponent and came away with a 2-0 win. The game was classic playoff hockey, with each period seeming like it was sudden death OT. The game was tied at zero 5 minutes into the 3rd period when Ryan Kalinowski scored a power play goal on a feed from Jacob Schmidt. Zach Halloran added a goal with just under 2 minutes remaining on back-handed pass from Ryan Maloney.
Port Huron Northern, which drew a first game bye, was Eisenhower's second game opponent. The Eagles were victorious against PHN by a score of 3-1. Eric Simurdiak opened up all scoring with a goal about half way through the first period. Jacob Schmidt got the assist. PHN tied the game less than a minute later in the first period. Just over 1 minute into the second period, Jeff Morey scored on a shot from the point. Ryan Maloney and Justin Whitson got the assists. Ryan Maloney added one more goal with just under 5 minutes left in the third period. Justin Whitson and Ryan Chovich assisted on the Maloney goal.

The second period ended with Howell up 3-1. Howell started the third period quickly by adding 2 more goals within the first three and a half minutes, to push their lead to 5-1. The Eagles battled back and scored the next two goals to bring the score to 5-3. Eric Simurdiak got the first of the two, with assists by Mike Walter and Adam Nimtz. Ryan Maloney got the second goal of the 3rd period for Ike, with assists by Mike Walter and Justin Whitson.
