Yesterday afternoon
the Petes travelled to Trenton to play against the Quinte West Hawks for the
last time this season. The Petes were
looking to rebound from a veery disappointing performance against the Belleville
Bulls that occurred on the previous night.
So far this season the Hawks had got the better of the petes outscoring
them 14-1 in both previous games. The Petes
were determined to put forth a better effort and show the Hawks that they have
improved since their last meeting.
The game
started with the Hawks taking full control of the game hemming the Petes into
their zone for long periods at a time.
The Petes were able to play some great defense to start the period and
limited the scoring chances by the Hawks to shots from the outside or the blue
line. The Hawks though would be rewarded
for their efforts and score to take the lead 1-0. The Petes then started to gain some momentum
on the Hawks by getting the puck deep into their zone. The Petes were accessed two penalties in the period
and the Petes penalty killers were up to the challenge and were able to kill off
the penalties and not allow any powerplay goals. The Hawks though would take advantage of a
few Petes mistakes and score three more times to have a 4-0 lead at the end of
the first period.
The second
period saw the Hawks score three times.
The Petes though were not without their own chances. As the game was progressing the Petes were
gaining more and more confidence. The
Petes would generate a couple great scoring opportunities in the period but
were unable to cash them in. The score
at the end of the period was 7-0 for the Hawks.
The third
period was full of action as both teams found themselves in the penalty box
multiple times. The Petes would gain a
lot of momentum from their powerplay efforts and even though they did not score
on the power play were able to hold the momentum and score to break the
shutout. The Hawks thought would answer
back and before the period ended would score three times and the make the final
score 10-1 in favour of the Quinte West Hawks.
In net for
the Petes for this game was Adam M. who was called upon to stop 80 shots. Adam M. a great job in net. Way to go Adam!

next game is against the Peterborough U16 A team on Sunday, December 11th @ 3:00
