NotesThe MD Team White - Minor Novice Hawks made their first appearance in tournament play in the St.Mary's AE Boys tournament this weekend. Even though our Hawks ultimately lost in the semi-finals the coaching staff is extremely proud of our team of '09 Hawks which were the youngest team in the tournament often facing teams comprised of almost all '08 players.
Tournament Summary:
The team's first game was against a strong Ilderton Jets team, losing a back and forth battle in the the opener Friday morning 2-0. Undeterred the Hawks showed up in the second game Friday ready to put into practice what they had learned resulting in a shut out win against the New Hamburg Huskies 2-0. Midday Saturday the Hawks face a very strong undefeated St. Mary's Rock host team which ended in a 3-3 tie only after the Rock scored with just over a minute left. Sunday found the a confident Hawks team ready to face the Jets again, this time in the semi-finals. The game went end to end throughout with both teams having a number of good scoring chances leaving fans on both sides cheering and gasping, but in the end the Jets found the back of the net with a shot deflected past the Hawks stellar goal tender.
Special mention to our defenseman. Pompilii in net. Or four horseman L'Heureux,Crossen,Husser and Rowell. Also awesome job from our wingers working the boards, Halbouni,Nadeau,Nesbitt,Mould and Greensides. The two centerman were non stopping skating working endlessly hard. Really proud of these kids
