Silver Stick Home Opener
In front of a huge crowd.
We opened the tournament against West London. Now when I was a kid, most of the Kennedy's were still alive and we never played against West London, they were never in our league. I don't get it. West London why are we playing them? Well I still don't get it. Because they weren't in our league tonight. They opened the scoring but that's as far as it went. Dylan drilled a shot on net, Paul picked up the puck and with a quick feed to Evan resulted in our first goal. The boys jumping on the bandwagon soon followed up T.J moving in on net was allowed a couple of chances short side but the puck squeaked out front and Josh had two maybe three times to backhand it into their net before he capitalized on his efforts. Connor then had the opportunity to finish off Zach's hardwork when he tipped one in. Behind some solid defensive play by our blueline moving the puck out of our end, and with keeping things alive and solid hits from Brandon and Trent kept West London's chances down so that our forwards could do their jobs. On kind of a muffed play Sam was able to move the puck forward and Haydn in his first game back got the puck to Paul Ferguson and Paul with a quick shot low gloveside beat West London's goalie cleanly. Zach then put the game away after Isaac worked hard to get the puck on net Zach grabbed it and with a quick set of hands earned his MVP award with the final goal. A good team effort tonight. Good goaltending from Matt. Good defense solid hits and overall good puck movement. Young Ryan Boyd took the puck one time end to end with some nice moves but no "Happy Ending".
Good team effort, looking forward to the next game Sun, Dec 28th 8 pm. Come out and watch this up and coming young Midget Rep Team.
