Game Results: Game vs Peterborough U16 "A" team
On Saturday night the Petes were scheduled to play the Petes at the Kinsmen Civic Centre.  That is right.  On this night the U16 “BB” Petes would host a home versus their division rival U16 “A” Petes  This would be an interesting game as the players from each team know each other quite well.  The stage was set for an exciting and possibly emotional game. 

The first period started with the “A” team controlling most of the play within the “BB” teams end of the rink.  The “A” team was very motivated to send a message to the “BB” team.  The “A” team would score three times in the period to take a 3-0 lead into the second period.

The second period the “BB” team was determined to step up to the challenge.  The “A” team though would end up taking advantage of a couple of defensive breakdowns by the “BB” team and score a couple more goals to extend the lead to 5-0.  The “BB” team stayed focused and continued to improve their play and started to create offensive opportunities.  Then with six minutes remaining in the period the “BB” team scored to break the shutout bid by the “A” team’s goalie.  The Petes now were starting to gain back momentum in the game.  The score was now 5-1.  However, the momentum swing was short lived as the “A” team scored another three goals in a span of three minutes to extend their lead to 8-1.  Then with only a few seconds remaining in the period the Petes rushed the puck up the ice and scored a beautiful goal with under 1 second left in the period.  The teams would go into the intermission with the “A” team leading 8-2.

The third period this season has always been the “BB” team strongest period.  And on this night was no different.  The “BB” team took to the ice with grit and determination.  The “BB” team played hard until the end of the period and were rewarded with another goal as a reward for their efforts.  The “BB” team would however have a few more breakdowns defensively and the “A” team would take full advantage and score three times in the period.  The final score of the game was 11-3 in favour of the Peterborough U16 “A” team.

There were a lot of positives in this game for the “BB” Petes and some opportunities for improvement.  They showed great discipline as this was the team’s first game without any penalties.  The team also showed a never quite attitude and battled hard until the final buzzer sounded.  Way to go boys!

The Petes next game will be against the Whitby Wildcats Blue team at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre on Wednesday, November 9th @ 8:45 PM. 

Goals: Hayven W., Jacob G., Will M.

Assists: DJ C., Cameron D., Connor T., Will M., Caeden K., Jacob G.
