Novice BB, 2009-2010 (Saugeen Shores Minor Hockey)

By James Mackintosh The Dunlop Fuels/Home Hardware Novice BB team has finished their WOAA Novice ‘Twolan’ Division playoff series, losing two games straight in a final best-of-three series against the Kincardine Kinucks.

Jan 17, 2010, Bayfield.    The Dunlop Fuels/Home Hardware Novice BB team put on a show in Bayfield and powered their way to a 10 -3 victory over the BCH Ice Dogs.  The victory was well-timed, giving the team a boost after a disappointing defeat to Kincardine the day before.

Dec 5, 2009, Southampton. The Dunlop Fuels/Home Hardware Novice BB group left the locker room as 13 boys and a girl heading for a game, and came back from that game as a team. In an epic battle with the BCH Ice Dogs, the Novice BB team gelled and showed the home crowd what it means to play together and really work for the puck against a strong team. The result? A 5-4 victory for the Storm.

Nov 29, 2009, Goderich. The Dunlop Fuels Novice BB team ended up losing to Goderich 9-3, mostly due to the Goderich onslaught in the first period which ended with Goderich ahead 5-1.

Nov 7, 2009, Southampton. The Saugeen Shores Dunlop Fuels Novice BB team hosted the strong BCH Icedogs team in Southampton and learned a bit about what it is like to play a big, physical team. There was a lot of individual effort from the Storm players but a little more teamwork may have been needed to crack a team like this.
