Motown Cup
The Boys hit the road this weekend to Detroit to play in the Motown Cup.
We had a late schedule change that changed all the teams we were playing so we did not know much about the other teams.




First up we played a Competivite Minor Novice team from Macomb. The boys put out a good effort after a long day of travel but the Macomb team was just too much for our house league team.

Saturday morning we play Lambeth LL2 in a barn burner of a game. We had a slow start to the game but came alive in the the 2nd half of of the game.

Going in to our Saturday evening game we knew we would be in tough playing the Barrie Jr Colts( an other competitive team) who had beat Lambeth earlier by over 20 goals. We pumped the boys up and told them to give it their best effort and boy did they ever. We were only down 1-0 after the first and 2-0 after the second. I kids were getting tired in the third trying to keep up with these skilled players. The boys showed determination to keep it close and we even had some scoring chances. The parents from Barrie were even impressed at our house league team.

That set up Sunday's rematch with Lambeth to determine the winners of the house league teams. After a late night and a whole lot of pizza we hit the ice bright and early. The whole team played their hearts out and we managed to come out with the win.

The kids and parents had a great weekend and an experience they will never forget!
