Congrats Hawks!!! This past weekend, the U-16 BB West London Hawks
participated and came home with GOLD at the Nazem Kadri - North London Classic.
After advancing from the round robin with a 2-1-1 record,
the Hawks really found their stride through dominant and smothering defensive
play, a strong forecheck and timely scoring in the two final games.
In the Semi-Finals, West London rallied with 3 goals in
the third period to come back and defeat the Cambridge Hawks 4-2 in exciting
fashion. Two late power-play goals were the difference.
Our Hawks then took flight in the final and cruised to an
impressive 5-0 shutout win over the Oakridge Aeros. Michael Carruthers posted
the shutout and the Hawks got goals from: Nathan Stubbs (2), Emmerson Gardiner,
Ryan Doyle and Finn Spence to complete the victory.
The team identity of “defense first”, was on full display
as the Hawks posted 18 goals for and a paltry 4 goals against in the 6 total
games. Very impressive!
Our entire team and coaching staff would like to wish
Koen Gingrich and Miller Frank a speedy recovery from their injuries. You guys
are missed!!
Congrats to:
