Championship game vs Champlin Park

Well, our boys couldn't muster up the game they had yesterday against CINB. The game ended 2-1. Our one tally was a PK goal by Lucia with a nice feed from Moran. They managed to out shoot us and Fritzy kept us in the game for sure. Second place is not the end of the world for our first tournament. More to come from this great Husky team. That I am confident of! Nice job boys!!

Super Rink game 2 vs CINB

WOW! What a game! The Huskies came out pretty well, we passed and controlled the game pretty well getting three goals from Logan Neu and one from Joey Mendel. One of Neus goals was the game winner with 7 seconds remaining! As a coach I really enjoyed the boys passing as well as they did. We jumped out to a three goal lead and let CINB back in the game in the third period. Our boys showed incredible toughness and heart. Way to Go guys!

Game 1 Super rink tourney vs St. James Canadiens

The boys came out a little stronger in this game against the canucks. With a decent goal by Lucia, a nice dish pass from Torgerson to Moran for the second and a rebouund pick up by Bissett, we were able to bury the Canadiens 3-1! In spite of being called for seven penalties the boys even over came a 5 on 3 late to get the win. A few more shots and some better passing would be good to see, but, all in all, a good game. Way to go guys!

Getting back on track!

The boys more or less came ready to play St Francis on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Our guys came out stronger with hitting and shooting. We challenged the boys the hit three times each and get 30 shots on goal. They came close in both categories! With the power play goal and even strength goals by Neu and another even strength goal by Altena, the boys rolled over St Francis 3-0. Nice work boys! Let's carry that momentum into the super rink tourney!

Nov 21-22 nd recap

Our guys made some vast improvements after the Andover game. Penalties hurt us on Saturday against Rogers, but they boys looked much better defensively. A loss at 2-0 Rogers. Getting better for sure.

The game in Blaine against perennial power house Blaine Bengals was a great game none the less. We just about did not get our fair play points with the penalties, but still managed to put a couple points on the board, thanks to a sweet shorty by Lucia and a nice wrister by Moran. Blaine did not give up and we were not able to seal off the win with 14 seconds remaining and let th Bengals tie it up. Still a great game! At this pace of improvement, I think we have the chance to go a long way. Let's keep up the good work boys!!

Game 1 vs Andover

Well, a rough start. We learned a bit about how some bad habits can affect the whole team. Andover started strong we came back and tied it up. Shortly there after, we decided to play our own game and let Andover get numerous shots from the point. Loss 8-2. Think about your future boys! and the commitment you made to our team.

STMA Scrimmage

Well, we can't go undefeated all season, right? :D The SCYHA Pee Wee A's played a great game against a tough STMA group. We were with them and in significant portions of the game we handled them well. We were tied with just about a minute left after some nice work and goals by Jesse Mendel, Altena and Moran. We let a big kid skate through us and neglected to take the body enough... A questionable goal caused us to lose the game 5-4. Either way, I am very proud of our guys. Missing three players for various reasons, and Torgsey taking a really hard hit, put us down from the get go. We still played well overall... We have some work to do, but I feel good about our squad!

Another couple of success stories!

Well the guys came out ready to play on Sunday morning Nov 1st. We ended up with a 9-1 rout over Wadena which filled in for a team that had to back out. The guys looked good, passing and working the puck to get more than 58 shots on net.

The DL game was a little different story. Our boys had spent the afternoon at Zorbas in DL and seemed to come out a little sluggish. A broken blade on Lucias skate probably did not help team chemistry for the game. Overall, not bad with a 4-4 tie. We learned some valuable lessons on defensive zone coverage, back-checking and even got the opportunity to kill off a few penalties. Great way to cap off a scrimmage weekend. Nice job guys! Let's keep rolling forward!

Brainerd Scrimmage a success!

The boys came out a little slow to start but, man what a great test for them. Brainerd played pretty well and had a competitive squad. Our guys put the puck past each of their goalies 3 times and they managed 3 on us. We know we have some work to do defensively in our zone, but, definetely a great start! 6-3 win!
