Win Some, Lose Some
Another great post to read from a great weekend of hockey! Thanks Gina
Sat. November 23rd the Timber Wolves came out strong but the Brantford Saints scored the 1st goal at 5:06. Less than a minute later #13 Carter Milne assisted on the back hand, over the goalie while he was down goal scored by #14 Robbie Young to tie up the game at 4:19. The rough & tough Brantford team found themselves in the box for body checking 2 times after that before the period ended. Time of penalties 3:16 & 1:46. One second before the 2nd Brantford penalty ended, #77 Cameron Buck received a pass from #10 Liam Karges. Cameron played the wrap around & planted the puck in the back of a wide open net with ease while the goalie was still on the other side of the net. Just over a minute later, #22 Makhaya Campbell took a hard shot from the point that bounced off to #10 Liam Karges, who buried it at 8:25 in the 2nd to make it a 3-1 game. At 7:51 #13 Carter Milne got 2 minutes for tripping, followed by a Brantford penalty at 4:05 for body checking. The Wolves were able to use the man advantage for a power play goal scored by #14 Robbie Young at 3:22. He fired it in the top corner after #22 Makhaya Campbell shot another great rebound pick-up for his teammate. A frustrated Brantford team found themselves in the box again at 2:57, only this time it was a tripping call. The frustration brought forth a short handed goal for Brantford with 2:29 to play in the 2nd, making it a 4-2 game! Less than a minute into the 3rd #19 Hudson Vance got a body checking penalty at 14:11 leading to a power play goal by Brantford at 13:31. With 12:53 to play in the game Brantford tied it up 4-4! Needless to say, the remainder of the game was an edge of your seat, pulling hair, nail bitter, with screaming fans egging on their teams! Finally at the 7:36 mark #44 Ryan Class came out of nowhere, with a break away, 5 hole goal to take the lead back for Waterloo. The game ensuring goal came at 2:48 when #22 Makhaya Campbell blasted a top cheese goal assisted by #14 Robbie Young making it a 6-4 game for Waterloo to finish it.
2nd place Hamilton Hub Tigers came to Waterloo this past Sunday, Nov. 24th. Jacob Bender played a terrific defensive game & #10 Liam Karges scored a cross ice, far side goal with 23.2 seconds remaining in the 1st. The Wolves held on to the lead for over half of the 2nd period but the Tigers tied it up at 4:51. The Hubs took the lead 2-1 with 4 minutes to go in the 2nd. The most outstanding glove save by #31 Ryan May kept the Tigers from scoring again that period. Two minutes into the 3rd, the Tigers took the lead by 2. The Tigers got tripping calls at 12:43 & 11:08 but it wasn't until they got a slashing call at 5:31 that the Wolves were able to get a power play goal. #44 Ryan Class scored his 2nd goal of the weekend (another sweet five holer) at 4:08 making it 3-2. #10 Liam Karges got 2 minutes for cross checking at 3:06 which lead to the final goal of the game. The Tigers scored at 1:15 & it was a 4-2 closer.
