Rams fall short to the Icedogs
On a snowy Sunday afternoon your U13 Reps headed down Highway 6 to Mount Forest for a dinner matinee.
We had a full squad, so the healing crystals, handmade soap, and homemade soup worked wonders to keep the germs at bay.
Coach Brent called up AP Calvin J for the late afternoon match up with your Icedogs and Rams.
With a 5:15pm start time, your Icedogs were well rested and ready to go.
Puck drop Icedogs won the draw, Rams were all over us shutting down any attempt to score, but at 7:35 of the first the rams found themselves in the sin bin and Cal U just 15 seconds later nets the first goal to boost the Icedogs up 1-0 with assists going to Paysen H and Sam F.
The usual Icedog momentum carries on and just 1:20 sec later Connor H slides one in short side with a fantastic deke with helpers going to Landon S and Cal U. Icedogs up 2-0 after the first.
Icedogs decided to start the Second similar to the Rams, and Cal U found himself in the penalty box and was unable to serve his full 2 mins as the Rams scoring on the Power Play. Most of the second period play seen a lot of end to end rushes for both sides, however with a 4 kid battle going on against the boards in the Rams zone the puck sprung free and Paysen H unassisted roofs one up over the Rams tender to regain the Icedogs 2 goal spread, which would also result in the GWG. end of 2 Icedogs up 3-1.
After a lengthy flood, and a well earned rest now for the 15 minute third just what this family is designed for. the 2 teams seems to scramble in the neutral zone early in the third but with excellent puck possession turnover abilities Connor H picked up the puck at the offensive blue line, split the D to gain a small break away and while being chased down gets taken out but diving and still managing to bury his 11th of the season unassisted at 10:17. Rams thought now would be a good time to get themselves back on the board tightening up the spread to just 2. Icedogs found themselves in more penalty trouble but were able to escape and hold the lead at 2. Once again Jack T and his 5 D were solid, nearing the end of the 3rd not letting any pucks by them. Your U13 Reps back check paid dividends in the last 5 minutes of the third with Hunter T going bar down from Landry W and Sam F going around the world ending up out front with a short feed from Kane W increasing the spread to 4. Final Score 6-2. Once again this family unit played strong and backed each other up. Next Action Friday December 8 in Chesley at 7:30pm hosting Huron-Bruce.
