Weekend Series with Essa
Our players have done it again! With both skill and determination our boys and girls picked up another 4 points this weekend putting us back into first place.
Friday night's game was end to end hockey with Angus nipping at our heals the whole game. Alex's 4th goal of the game with less than 2 minutes left to play sealed the win. Also providing goal support was Trent with two and singles from Spencer and Tucker. Assists came from Mikaela, Spencer and Tommy. Mikey represented the Wolves between the pipes and was supported by Marisa, Tommy, Leah and Max on defense. Once again, Max's powerful slap shot was heard throughout the arena.
Saturday's victory proved to be much more decisive...
Alex and Trent were forces to be reckoned with on the ice with a combined 9 points on the day. The boys were stick-handling and passing like pros. Spencer scored his fourth goal with a beautiful tip-in and Mikaela dug out a rebound and popped it in the net for her goal. Assists went to Max, Siara, Trent and Spencer.
Tommy was stellar in net, making several saves. Marisa prevented breakaways with her wheels and poke-checking. Max and Leah were a defensive wall that Angus just couldn't penetrate. Mikey played his position perfectly, digging the puck out of the corners and clearing it down the ice. Siara and Tucker were invaluable, setting up plays, battling along the boards and giving and 120% every time they touched the ice.
Coach Tony was proud of each and every one of his players. Keep up the great work, team!
Thanks to the entire bench staff for contributing their time and effort to develop our players. To Becky and Dianna, who have spent much time behind the scenes preparing paperwork, battling hackers and figuring out less than friendly web-sites - we appreciate you:) A HUGE thanks to the parents who continue to be the backbone of everything we do. Cheers!
