Wolves look for win #20 against Stratford
The Novice boys were back in action after a week between games.

The Novice Black Wolves took on Stratford on Sunday in search of their 20th win of the season. Ryan P. opened the scoring with a nice backhand shot assisted by Heath E. The Wolves peppered the Warriors with shots but the goalie stood tall and controlled many of the rebounds. After one period, the Wolves led 1-0.

The reunion of Wyatt N. and Preston M. after some time apart paid off immediately for the Wolves. The two boys combined for the next two goals, both scored by Wyatt N. and assisted by Preston M. The Wolves defense and goaltending by Daniel L. took over after that by limiting the Warriors chances down the middle and keeping the play out of their own end. In the end, the Wolves prevailed 3-0.

When asked to comment about the team's 20th win, Coach Van Hinte said: "The boys have committed to getting better every game and they are playing some good defensive hockey right now. They should be proud of how far they have come - but there is still a long playoff road ahead."
