Niagara Falls tournament
Our U14 team entered in to a U15 tournament over the March break. The team came away with two ties and a 1 goal loss. The U14s were always in the game and honestly had a chance to beat all 3 teams that we faced. Only 1 team was able to beat us and it came off a couple of bad bounces.
First game vs Kiwanis - our team controlled the puck for the majority of the game. We got a great goal by Jesse Burke assisted by Cole Cheverie. Our goalie Sebastian Garcia made several key saves. It was a great way to kick-start a tournament where we know that we are the youngest team going in. Jesse Burke was named player of the game.
Second game was against the Mount Hamilton Blues. We again had controlled most of the game play and had several chances on their goalie. Connor Kanellis was able to slip one by him on a nice break out assist by Aiden Hodgkinson. We also had another great performance by our goalie and player of the game Sebastian Garcia.
Our 3rd game was unfortunate due to a bad start and we saw the team down by 2 goals shortly into the game. The team also gave away an empty net goal late in the 3rd period that put us behind 5 - 2. Our wildcats did not let up and scored 2 goals in 42 seconds and almost had a 3rd before time ran out and we lost 5-4. We saw some great goals by Hudson Collis, Cole Cheverie, Aiden Hodgkinson and Connor Kanellis. Chase Gallacher had 2 assists and was named player of the game. Strong defensive plays by Jack Hurstfield-Meyer and Cole Schaefer.
