U.S. National Sled Hockey Team Captures First-Ever World Title With 1-0 Win Over Norway

Yohe Scores Gold Medal-Winning Goal With 11 Seconds Left at 2009 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championship

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic – Andy Yohe (Bettendorf, Iowa) scored with 11 seconds left in the gold-medal game and Steve Cash (Overland, Mo.) turned aside all 11 shots he faced in leading the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team to a 1-0 win over Norway to secure its first-ever world title at the 2009 International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey World Championship.

Team USA captured the gold medal with a 3-1-0-1 record (W-OTW-OTL-L), ahead of silver-medalist Norway and the bronze medal-winning Canadians.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Ray Maluta, head coach for Team USA. “The players showed tremendous poise, character and determination for being so young. They really pulled together as a group and were never outworked.”

Both goaltenders stayed perfect throughout the opening two frames, despite the U.S. putting up eight shots on goal in the second stanza.

With :14 remaining in the third period, Taylor Chace (Hampton Falls, N.H.) won an offensive-zone faceoff to the right of Norway’s net and got the puck to Yohe, who slapped it over Norwegian goaltender Roger Johansen’s shoulder on the far side for the gold medal-winning goal at 14:49.

NOTES: Team USA out shot Norway, 15-11 … Steve Cash was named U.S. Player of the Game … Team USA’s roster can be found here … Adam Page (Lancaster, N.Y.) and Kip St. Germaine (East Falmouth, Mass.) finished the tournament as Team USA’s leading scorers with three goals and an assist apiece … The World Championship has been staged on five occasions (1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2009), with Team USA earning medals in each of the last three tournaments (2004-silver, 2008-bronze, 2009-gold) ...

Zeller Corporation Moves after 44 Years

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:16:48 GMT

Zeller moves to the Gleason Business Center

Zeller Corporation has relocated its corporate headquarters to its new home on University Avenue. After 44 years on Emerson Street, Zeller was ready to make the transition to the Gleason Business Center to occupy space with one of their largest customers.

The nearly seventy thousand square feet of space, currently housing 110 employees, was completely renovated while still keeping the integrity of the building as one of the most recognizable in the Rochester community. “The facility is incredible, everything we could have hoped for,” said Gary Haseley, CEO. “From our progressive warehouse design complete with a carousel that has now reduced our foot print by 50% to our six training rooms throughout the building that allow for large and small events, the space works for us now” said Haseley.

The decision to be environmentally friendly was also a priority and the facility was designed to be just that. Currently, Zeller is in the final stages of pursuing certification from the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, also known as LEED, and they are excited to achieve either Certified or Silver recognition.

Zeller’s new facility was developed by RJ Taylor, one of Rochester’s leading general contractors, while the interior of the building was outfitted by Sedgwick Interiors. Work on the project began in May 2008 and the actual reconstruction process of the new space began in August 2008 and was move in ready by December 2008.

Zeller then began moving their staff in stages starting with manufacturing to ensure minimal impact to customers. On December 12, 2008, their move was complete and business officially started for Zeller at 1000 University Avenue, Suite 800 on Monday, December 15th, 2008. “This move was historic to Zeller and we are excited to see our future in the heart of the Rochester community,” Haseley says.

Zeller Corporation Golf Outing 2008

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:26:29 GMT

Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection (HW-SC) would like to take this opportunity to thank all of Zeller Corporation’s employees, clients, vendors, and friends who participated in the Zeller Tournament Golf Outing 2008, at Shadow Pines Golf Club, on Tuesday, August 12. The event raised $10,575 for HW-SC, which leverages an additional $19,564 in funds from Monroe County to help support this proven program.

Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection was established to help youth stay in school, achieve academic success, and earn their high school diplomas. HW-SC provides Youth Employment Training, including: career exploration, interviewing skills and mock interviews, general office skills, computer skills, customer service skills, and financial literacy. Worksite mentors, such as those at Zeller Corporation, serve as role models and help students further develop employment and interpersonal skills. It is both the businesses that provide students with jobs, and HW-SC youth advocates who create a web of services and support to help students develop the habits, acquire the skills, and demonstrate the desire to become contributing, responsible young people at home, in school, at work, and within the community.

Businesses have discovered that hiring HW-SC students reduces their training and turnover costs and is a fiscally prudent staffing strategy for entry level jobs. HW-SC succeeds through long-term partnerships with the business community.

On behalf of the youth and families served by Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection, thank you for your support!
