Fire The Rockets
The Peewee B Mustangs had one more game before the X-Mas break as the Ayr Rockets flew into town Sunday afternoon.
This was the third meeting of the season between the two teams, with Grand River winning the first two. The most recent contest was an extremely fast paced affair that ended in a 3-0 win for the Lady Stangs.
From the drop of the puck, the girls got to show off the Stampede fore check for the home town fans and our Peewee C sister team that was watching as well. Despite the Mustang pressure out of the gate, there was not a lot of shots to show for the hard work as the time ticked on and the scoreboard gathered dust.
This was the Mustangs 7th game in nine days and the grind was starting to show towards the end as the girls had some anxious moments in their own end. By the time the final buzzer rang it was the second 0-0 draw in the last week and an ever important point was added to the League play standings.
The break could not have come at a better time as the girls have been working extremely hard, which is evident to all that have seen their level of play. They play a high pressure game, grinding opponents down and typically scoring late as other teams struggle to match our pace. Very effective but it does take a lot of energy, especially when you add the playoff push the girls are under. They deserve to put their feet up for a few days and relax, forget about hockey for a bit and enjoy some family time at home.
