Weekend Hockey Recap!
The U9 Select 99ers were back in action this past weekend after their Kingston Tournament. They had a few days rest before back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday night.
The U9 Select 99ers started off facing the Mount Hamilton Blues on Friday Night at home before traveling to Woodstock on Saturday.
At home on Friday, the U9 Select 99ers faced the Mount Hamilton Blues for a second time this season. The 99ers came out strong scoring 3 goals to open the first period. Not to be outdone, Mount Hamilton answered brining the game to 3-2 before the 99ers netted a fourth goal in the second. Brantford was able to secure the 5-2 victory to end the game.
The 99ers were able to bounce back from their previous loss and play a strong solid game Friday.
Special shoutouts to our standout players: Nolan White and Camdon Eldridge, who were both great in the win. Nolan, playing on the wing for the first time, made some great plays and passed the puck extremely well. Camdon, moving to defense, displayed great hustle and smart defensive play. Congratulations and well-earned to our "Hardest Workers" of the game!
Next up was a rematch with the Woodstock Jr. Navy Vets in Woodstock on Saturday Night. This would be the second of four encounters between the two teams.
The 99ers hoping to avenge their last loss to Woodstock after the Jr. Navy Vets snapped their 10-game win streak. The 99ers were able to keep the game close after tying the game up at 1 to end the second period. Unfortunately, the Jr. Navy Vets remained undefeated, defeating the 99ers 3-1.
The 99ers fought hard all game but unfortunately could not get past a tough Navy Vets squad.
Congrats to our "Hardest Workers" award winners for this game: Nick Richardson and Grayson LeBlanc. Nick made some great play out of the back, playing solid defense while Grayson made some crucial stops, keeping the 99ers in the game. Way to go boys!
The Select 99ers will face a new opponent, The Norfolk Knights, on Friday March 7th at 6:30 PM at the Wayne Gretzky Centre.
Go 99ers!
