Today the Blackhawk Mites faced our friends from the north the Tri Valley Bluedevils. This was our first real test and unfortunately we came up 1 goal short in a very very close game.
The Unofficial Shot Clock had it as TV 18 SC 12....I felt like we had better scoring chances. The Tri Valley goalie played a great game and in the end I think that was the deal breaker. Cross played a great game too making some great stops and shutting down a couple of odd man rushes and a solo break away. Not bad for a kid who was sick with the flu.
The big difference between the two teams was intensity. Having the benefit of playing four games already the Bluedevils started the game out with more intensity than the us. As the game went on the boys picked up the pace and the intensity and this is reflected in the box scores:
1st 3 to 1
2nd 1 to 1
3rd 1 to 2
We have another game tomorrow against the SF Sabrecats Squirt B team. Then it's off to the races with the regular season starting next Sunday at 7 am against the SJ Jr Sharks.
Today was fun and I hope the boys had fun. We'll see you tomorrow at the rink.
Thanks,
Kevin
