U13 LL2 McNabb Furniture Wins Season Opener
U13 McNabb Furniture kicks of their season with a 9-8 win
over South Muskoka playing in Bracebridge at the new Muskoka Lumber Community
Centre.
In a game that had lots of scoring, some strong backchecking and big saves this was an exciting game to watch. The lead bounced back and forth until the Shamrocks finally took over and put up a commanding 9-6 lead in the third period. South Muskoka wouldn't quit trying to climb back into the game and almost tied it with 2 seconds left when Shamrock’s goalie Jacklin made a big blocker save to hold on to the lead. Walker put up a hattrick in the season opener and some silky hands by Briggs netting a couple goals himself as did his teammate Powers. McLlwain and A. King also helped push the teams offense by adding a goal each. The Shamrock's St. Amant, Malizzi, Green and C. King played some amazing defense by keeping the home team out of the Shamrock’s house and moved the puck up ice extremely well. Pawis played an excellent two-way game and was a force at both ends of the rink also notched an assist in the contest.
