U9 - T1, U9 (Listowel Minor Hockey Association)

A tired group headed to Clinton on Monday night to play the league leading Mid Huron Huskies.  Goalie Sully Meulensteen was at the top of his game in this one as the Cycs were badly outplayed in the opening period and for most of the 2nd frame.  If not for his play in net the score could have been at double digits for the home team but instead was only 4-0 after two.  The lone bright spot for the Cycs was a power play goal in the third when Maddox Birk took a faceoff win by Ian Magee and drilled it past the Huskies goaltender.   The boys are back in action tonight vs the Central Perth ...

The boys travelled to Ayr on the weekend to compete in the U9 Tier 1 International Silverstick and would do so with only 8 skaters.  The heart and effort each player showed was commented on by opposing coaches and fans as the group fought hard coming away with a win and two losses.

The Cycs have played with a short bench all year with only 9 skaters and a goalie but on this night in Mitchell the boys would have to dig deep with two regulars on vacation leaving them with 7 skaters.  With Sully away the pipes would be left to Fin Long who would stand strong in relief only allowing 3 past him and taking the Cycs chain for his efforts.

After almost two weeks off the U9T1 Cycs hit the road and picked up a 5-2 win over the Central Perth Predators.

The U9T1 Cyclones came away with a split on the weekend with a 4-3 loss in Drayton on Saturday and an 11-1 win at home vs Shallow Lake on Sunday.
