Point Edward Novice remain undefeated in league action

DECEMBER 13,  2011

December 8^th, 2011 – Point Edward Blackhawks host Mount Brydges Gold.

It was a long day of school followed by a long road trip to Point Edward before the Mount Brydges Gold would face off against the Blackhawks, but that wasn’t going to hold them back. Mount Brydges were able to hold them back until there was less than 40 seconds left in the 1^st period, when the Blackhawks slid two past the goal line.

The 2^nd period started with the Blackhawks adding to their lead, but it looked as though Mount Brydges was aiming to make a comeback, getting their last goal of the period with 1 second left on the clock, leaving only a 1 goal gap (3-2) for the start of the 3^rd.

With the game being as close as it was, both teams seemed to be pushing themselves to the limit, which made for a fast paced 3^rd period. The Blackhawks tried to shake up the Mount Brydges game by pulling away with 2 more goals, but the Gold would not be deterred so easily, and put one of their own up on the scoreboard. The rest of the period seemed like a battle of wills and neither team could make anymore headway, ending the game in the Blackhawks favour.

Final Score – Point Edward Blackhawks win 5-3

The “Performance Player of the Game” Award went to Kyle MacDonald for hitting the mark with his passing and making sure nobody would get too close to his goalie.

December 10^th, 2011 – Point Edward Blackhawks were visitors to Strathroy Red.

Strathroy Red was ready and willing to give the Blackhawks a run for their money.

It was obvious in the 1^st period that Strathroy Red was intent on being the first to beat the Blackhawks and the scoreboard didn’t differ. The period was intense, with both teams sharing control of the puck. It was a battle of determination, including both goalies, and neither team wanted to be the first to waiver. The period ended with no goals for either side.

The 2^nd period started with the same intensity as the 1^st, and it was Blackhawks who would make the first move and take the lead less than 4 mins. in, but their lead was short lived as Strathroy was able to sneak one of their own in. Thinking that the Blackhawks had met their match, the team’s confidence was renewed as they were able to take the lead again, with only 6 seconds left in the period.

The 3^rd period started and it quickly became apparent that the Blackhawks were not satisfied with a one goal lead. Between the cat-like reflexes of the goalie, a brick wall of defencemen, and the forwards hitting passes like it was their jobs, the Blackhawks were able to spread their lead by four more before Strathroy could answer back. Unfortunately, one more goal would not be enough and the Blackhawks put the icing on the cake with two more, making the final score 8-2 for the Blackhawks.
 

The highlight of the game today was the incredible passing by each of the Blackhawks players, making it look so easy to find their team mates sticks.
