Scotiabank Loses Series Opener
Both teams hadn't seen the ice in over a week. The question was who was it going to affect the most. From the result, the break certainly had no ill effect on Team #1 as they skated to a well deserved 3 - 0 win Monday night at The Coliseum. Unfortunately, history again repeated itself for the Scotiabank team when they find themselves away from the ice for a lengthy period. Their success is not determined by one or two individual performances as they draw their energy from one another and it seems when they haven't been involved for awhile it reflects in their balanced play. Having said that, there were still positives: there were scoring chances; there were good defensive plays; goalie Ayden Young did make some fine saves; Drew Besito earned The Digger Award for her strong play with an honourable mention going to Blake Shields for his fine two-way performance; and, the sun is going to come up in the morning. Scotiabank have a practice Tuesday night at 5:30 in Port Elgin with the second game in this 2/3 series scheduled for Wed at 6pm in Southampton.
