Game Results: Game vs Belleville Jr. Bulls
Last
night the Petes and the Belleville Bulls meet for the last time this season. The Petes were looking to rebound from a
disappointing effort versus the Ajax-Pickering Raiders. The Bulls were looking to rebound from a
negative performance at the previous weekend Silver Stick Tournament.
The Bulls
quickly sent a message to Petes that they had showed up to play as they
dominated from the opening faceoff. The
Bulls were relentless with their pressure and pursuit of the puck. The Bulls showed why they are a top ranked
team in the division. The Petes on this
night couldn’t compete at the Bulls level and the score at the end of the first
period was 6-0 in favour of the Bulls.
The Bulls carried momentum into the second period and continued to
dominate play. The Bulls scored seven
more times in the period to increase their lead to 13-0. The Petes though continued to battle even
though almost down by two touchdowns.
The Petes then before the end of the second period scored to break the
shutout and the score at the end of the second period was 13-1 for the Bulls.
In net for
the Petes to this point was Adam M. who was called upon to stop 61 shots. Adam M. did an outstanding job in net and was
recognized for his efforts and rewarded by given the third period off. Keegan D. our U15 BB affiliate goalie was
called upon to finish the game.
The third period was more of the same. On this night the Petes had no answer for the
Bulls. The Bulls were able to do
whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, with the puck. The Bulls would continue to deposit pucks
into the net. The final score of the
game was 20-1 in favour. Keegan D. did a
great job in net in the third period as he was called upon to stop 39 shots.
Overall,
the Petes goalies combined to make 80 saves as they were called upon to stop
100 shots in the game. It was definitely
a positive performance by the Petes goalies in the midst of the chaos. Well done Adam and Keegan. Your hard work and effort did not go unnoticed!
The other highlight of the night was a
comment made by the Bulls head coach following the game. The Bulls coach was impressed by our team’s discipline
and the great sportsmanship showed in the loss.
I too am proud of our team for showing great restraint and controlling emotions
in such a difficult game to play and finish.
The Petes
next game is against the top ranked Quinte West Hawks on Sunday, December 4th @
3:15 PM in Quinte.
