Novice Selects Kick Off The Season in Guelph!!
The Novice Selects kick off their season in style by travelling to the Royal city for their first game of this young season.
The Novice Selects were up against obstacles right from the start. Their jerseys were not ready yet, the name bars showed up at the last minute with one missing, and to top that off the opponents even made sure that the traffice was backed up all the way to the arena.
None of this was going to stand in the way of this eager and excited group of young hockey players. Right from the pre game warm-up you could tell this team was focussed on the task at hand.
With clean precision they excecuted the on ice warm up and came out with a bang. With only one practice behind them they showed excellent positional and team play. The play was back and forth in the first period with the score tied at zero. The opponent opened up a one goal lead in the second period but could not muster anything further against this Novice Select squad.
The first goal of the season seemed to further ignite the fire and when the final bell rang the result was a 3 to 1 win.
Tired bodies could not dim the huge smiles in the room after this opening game. Many things to work on this season but with the first one out of the way the path is clear for a fantastic season.
Great Effort Boys, Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
