Saturday afternoon we saw a great matchup of Saugeen Storm teams #3 vs #4. Both teams came ready to play but Storm #3 came out on top with a score of 5-2.
Well Storm #4 got off to a quick start by scoring at 7:19 of
the first period. But Storm #2 kept up
their great work and it was Sabra who evened up the scoring at 2:32 of the
first by hammering home a great rebound opportunity. The defence unit of Jack, Nick, Devin and
Zach did a great job of keeping the puck in the opponents’ ends all the while
moving it out of ours and skating with it when they had the opportunity. Wes and Jack were playing fantastic as usual
and working hard for loose pucks, helping out the D men and getting pucks on
net.
In the second Storm #3 maintained their great play and Jack
put his team ahead at 6:57 of the period.
The wingers kept up their great work of attacking players and getting to
the loose pucks. Brennan, Lilly, Liam,
Andy and Sabra where awesome at wining battles along boards, helping to move
puck out of our zone, and going to the net and looking for rebounds. All this hard work paid off when Jack scored
again at 4:05 lifting the puck into the top of the net to make it 3-1.
In the third Storm# 4 came back with another goal at 8:20
with a shot that just beat Talan to the far bottom corner of the net as he
attempted a kick save. Storm #3 kept up the aggressive play where we
saw Liam, Lilly, Brennan with a few rebound opportunities but could not
capitalize. We even saw Andy take off on a breakaway the fastest I have ever
seen him skate with the puck. But it was
Wes who scored another for his team at 6:46 giving them the insurance
goal. But the team did not quit there
and the defence kept rushing wingers kept digging the centers kept up the great
work in all areas of the ice and it all paid off when Caleb scored at 1:05 to
make it a final score of 5-2.
This was a great team effort and all the players played
great. Talan was awesome in net again
making some real big saves for us.
This was very tough
for the coaches to narrow one player down for the digger but we all agreed that
Nick was fantastic and working the hardest on the ice getting into the rush,
skating with the puck, getting it out of our end and keeping it in the opponents. Great job Nick! Congrats Team on all the hard work.
