U11bb Hespler Shamrock Early Bird CHAMPIONS!
Congratulations to 17 young lads who showed up wanting to play their first tournament of the season with heart, passion, skills, teamwork and cohesion.
When it worked it worked! Tight 1st game ending in a tie. Second game started a bit slow. But they came back fighting for the victory. Third game had great defensive plays accompanied by a shut out. Semi-Finals, bright and early and a half hour delay they boys came out a little sluggish from the wait. They went down early, came back fighting, took the lead and never looked back. Beauty key saves from the goalie which kept us in the game. THE FINALS! Great back and forth. Amazing goalie dual. Came down to less then 2mins in the 3rd and the boys put it straight in Burlington's net!!!!! Go 99ers!!!! They were on fire! So hot that they needed to secure another goal with a sweet 7seconds later 2 -0 Brantfordl!!! They sent the crowd wild with cheers and screams of happiness! These boys pulled themselves together, never gave up, listened to the coaching pointers and secured the GOLD!
Congratulations to each and every one of you. I am truly proud of all of you.
Sincerely
Coach Tim
