So, the NW Selects went 5-1 at the Burnaby Tournament. We lost the championship game 0-1. It was a real bust. But it was a great tournament and we played real well. From the NW Selects website a brief recap:
U12 Team – Playing in the PeeWee bracket with nearly half the team being Squirts seemed like an uphill battle for the NWS U12 team, but the outcome proved differently. The U12s played 6 games in all, the last being the championship game. The U12s came out hard in what turned out to be a defensive battle. The U12s gave up a goal in the first period, which turned out to be the game winner. The game ended 0-1, however the weekend was a winner for all the players, parents and coaches!
U14 Team – It took 2 games for the U14s to get their ‘winning form’ back from last season, losing their first 2, however in game 3 the U14s made their move and staring to win. In game 4 the U14s looked great, winning in a shoot-out. For the weekend they were 2-2 in the Tier I level – Great job U14s!!!
U19 Team - They knew that their competition would be tough, but no one knew how close all of the teams would be in the Tier I level. Of the 24 games in the Midget level, every game ended in a tie or was decided by a single goal … all of them! The U19s were in the hunt and played some of the best team hockey seen in that level. Crashing the net, back-checking and making good short passes, took them into the semi-finals. However, a sneaker goal got into the net somehow and the U19s lost 1-2 ending their run.
The NWS came out winners on the weekend, not winning the tournament, but playing with and against the best in the area! Each player and parent took away a different experience from the weekend, but all of them were good!!!
Well done NW Selects!!!
