Hawks vs the Jr Sharks

Blackhawks 2 Jr Sharks 1

Holy Cow! What a game!!! Games against our cross-town rivals have been absolute barn burners! With the last two games ending with just 3 goals total…not the standard for a Mite game.

The boys played great despite some just flat out bizarre officiating. We killed off a couple of 5 on 3’s and spent most of the second part of the game killing penalties. Despite playing short handed the boys managed to bang in a couple or goals and defend our net to steal one away from the Jr Sharks.

Our first goal came when RJ held the zone and got the puck low to Bryan. Bryan twisted and turned behind the until he saw a path to the net and jammed the puck in to take a 1-0 lead in the game. The Jr. Sharks scored when we could clear the front of the net and they were able to take a rebound and get it past Dustin. That would be their only tally for the day. The game stayed 1-1 until Andrew picked up a loose puck in the slot and fired it in to get the game winner. Great job Andrew.

We had more awards to hand out after this game than any previous game. Kendrick created the Chris Pronger award to the top defenseman…this one went to Goose who played a great game. There were the traditional 3 stars those went to Tyler, Aidan and Bryan, there was the Patrick Starfish award that went to RJ for holding the zone and setting up our first goal and of course the hardhat that goes to the hardest working man on the ice…and that was Dustin. Phew! More people thank than an Oscar Award Winner.

Congratulations boys on a great game.
