One Proud Coach

      With only one practice under our Belts we headed to Cambridge for our First tournament of the season .  With 2 under agers   and 3 new kids from HL we did not know what to expect .


    In the first game we played a very strong Team from Brantford a game that could of went either way but that day things went our way and we started with a big 3 to 1 win ,  after that game we knew we had something special brewing as coaches we where very pleased with what we saw on the ice .    Heading into Saturday to play game 2 standing in our way was a team from Waterloo but our boys were ready and we fought to a 4 - 3 victory .   After a great team Lunch at Montana's we rushed back to the rink just in time for our game I think the boys ate a little to much because before we knew it we where down 3 to nothing .  Our team is full of fighters and with no help from the boys in strips we came back hard and won the game 4 to 3  this game showed the character in our team .  Off to the semi finals getting up with the crows heading back down the 401 in the Dark for the 3 day in a row  , We had to face the home town Cambridge hawks but this game was a little different we set the tone and fought to a 6 -3 victory .    Our First tournament and we are in the finals standing in our way was the Brantford 99ers a team we knew that was going to push us to our limits .  We came out strong it was our best game of the weekend back and fourth the two teams battled hard .  Heading into the 3 we were leading 4 to 2 made a couple of mistakes  they scored two power play goals to tie it up .  End of 3 the game was tied so overtime it was we came out strong and there goalie made some big saves they came down and bounced on a mistake we made to beat us 5 to 4  but this weekend we where winners ,   The boys played amazing and this team came together on and off the ice .  Big things to come proud of the Boys .  Congrats to the 99ers on this day we will see them again
