The Brewins Organization was very proud on Monday as our 2 Pee Wee B teams faced off for the District 4 Championship. The game was a hard fought battle of two evenly matched teams. Andrew Taylor started the scoring in the second period when he picked-up a loose puck in front of the net and lifted a backhander into the goal to give the PW B-2 team 1-0 lead. At the start of the third period, the PW B-1 team put tremendous pressure on goal and eventuality tied the game up with about 3 minutes left in the game. The hard work of Kam Silvia and Alex McGrath paid dividends as McGrath was able to get a puck to the net where Jared Hudgins banged home the rebound. During the last 3 minutes of the game both teams had many chances only to be stopped by the great goaltending of Rich Brocklesby and Joe Sclafani. With the game tied after regulation, the five man shoot-out brought the crowd to their feet. Jack Sweeney went first for the PW B-2 team and quickly put his team up 2-1 with a heavy wrist shot just under the cross bar. The goalies again stole the show from there and did not let up another goal in the 9 more attempts. Final score 2-1.
Congratulations to both teams and coaching staffs for a clean hard fought game for the ages.
As many of you know, the PW B-2 team has been without their coach for several weeks due to health issues. Coach Dave could not be there physically, but was there in sprit, as he watched the game on the rink’s web-cam. (Doctor was not happy!) The team celebrated with him at the conclusion of the shoot-out by going down to the web-cam and raising their sticks in tribute. A truly inspiring moment in youth hockey!
