GO ORANGE CRUSH GO!!!! (FOOTE TEAM #1)

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO CONGRATULATE THE "ORANGE CRUSH" PLAYERS ON THERE OSHAWA CHRISTMAS HOUSE LEAGUE TOURNAMENT TITLE. 

THE CHRISTMAS BREAK WAS A LOT OF FUN FOR THIS BUNCH OF KIDS... A TITLE WAS ON OUR MINDS RIGHT FROM THE GET GO BUT THE GAMES HAD TO BE PLAYED. AFTER COMING OUT OF THE PRELIMINARIES WITH AN 3 - 0 RECORD AND A +37 GOALS DIFFERENTIAL, THAT LINED THE "ORANGE CRUSH" UP FOR A TITLE GAME VS. CLARINGTON. 

CLARINGTON WAS COMING INTO THE FINALS WITH A +27 GOALS DIFFERENTIAL SO WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO A BATTLE BUT THE BOYS WERE PREPARED AND DETERMINED TO FIND A WAY TO PULL OUT A VICTORY. THE BOYS WERE WORKING HARD ON BOTH ENDS OF THE ICE, OUR GOALTENDER CAME UP BIG ON SHOT AFTER SHOT, OUR "D" WERE DETERMINED TO KEEP THE PUCKS TO THE OUTSIDE AND DEEP IN OUR OPPONENTS ZONE. THEN THE FORWARDS STARTED TO LIGHT THE LAMP. IT WAS AN AWESOME BACK AND FORTH AFFAIR BUT THE "ORANGE CRUSH" FOUND A WAY TO COME OUT VICTORIOUS WITH A 5 - 3 WIN.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE COACHING STAFF IS VERY PROUD OF THIS BUNCH OF KIDS, YOUR EFFORTS AND EXCITEMENT GAME IN AND GAME OUT ALONE IS WHAT KEEPS US COMING BACK TO THE RINK AND ALL OF US LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GROW AS PLAYERS AND INDIVIDUALS ON AND OFF THE ICE. 

THANKS
COACH GEOFF
