Team Coming Together
The past couple of weeks we have seen the team really start to come together.  Some great positional play has lead to some great games being played by the kids.

During the last two weeks, we saw the team have a record of 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie.

First off after the Clifford tournament ....

we played Howick on Friday the 20th.  The kids are normally a little sluggish on Fridays but this was a refreshing change.  The kids came out firing on all cylinders putting 12 goals past the Howick goalie while playing solid defense resulting in a 12-0 victory.  The kids followed this up on Saturday morning with some great positional play against a still undefeated team from Milverton.  The result was a 3-3 tie but the kids again played hard at both ends of the ice and earned the single point.

The next Friday, we hosted a strong skating Drayton team.  The kids did not seem to have their legs for this one and we ended up on the wrong side of a 4-2 score.  Back at it again on Sunday, the kids came ready to play and rebounded well from the loss on Friday.   They ended up finding the net 11 times against Durham with Myles staying strong in net and earning the shutout.  We had previously lost to Durham on a Friday night earlier this year 2-1, showing you how well the kids played this time around.

We are back in action again Friday night at 6 vs Minto.  Hopefully the kids come ready to play and we can avenge a 3-1 loss to these guys earlier this year.  Then we have the Hanover tournament on Saturday with the first game at 8am vs Lucknow.

If you want to see some exciting hockey action and some hard working kids, come down to the rink and watch these kids play. 

See you at the rink!
