WEEKLY UPDATE
Week #3 is in the books as we get to know the players better each week by name. Thank you to all the parents that message us to let us know that their kids are not playing as it gives an opportunity to others to try out the league for the first time. Both games were tightly contested with both games being decided by only a single goal. We are very lucky to have top notch goaltenders but even so we have decided it is best to switch the goalies at half time in case one is getting more shots than the other.
Reminder that all kids must bring both a BLACK and a WHITE shirt at all times and please check your emails in case we have any updates. Also, it is very helpful if parents can put a strip of white tape on the front of your child’s helmet with their first name and last initials in black. If you have not completed the waiver please do so and the link is above. Thank you to all the parents that help volunteer each week behind the benches.
RECAPS
Black (B) vs White (B)
Our first game started off with some great passing from the youngest players including newcomer Mikael Wasty who was making his HTBHL debut following in the footsteps of his older brother Jibrael. We saw some great hustle from Grayson Droppo as well as Arthur Singh who registered his first point. Goalie Sydney Martin showed great reflexes making some saves while Hitchman Helman and Marco Provenzano battled it out in front of the net. Brandon Collette continued his hot streak scoring twice in a 10sec span while Asher Smith and Maddox Haulena also found the back of the net. With the game tied up Sebastien Warden scored the game winner to give Black the 3-2 win. Huge props to goalie Zach Surette who pitched a shutout stopping all 20 shots while earning first star honours.
Zach Surette – 0G/20 shots
Sydney Martin – 5G/22 shots
Black (A) vs White (A)
Our next game saw more goals, however, the goalies were on fire and had help from their best friends, the posts, as we saw many go off the iron. Zachary Boileau made his HTBHL debut and a la Mario Lemieux scored in his first game. I don’t know what Julien Olivier had for breakfast but he was all over the floor scoring some sick goals while registering a hatty. Then there was Xavier “bar down” Nantes who showed his scoring prowess including the game winner. Other players to bulge the twine and continue their fine play were Jashan “deke you out of your underwear” Dhaliwal, Emily “in the genes” Brown and Romeo “runaway train” Di Sano as he put up 4 points including 3 helpers. Speaking of dishing, both Mehdi El Kebir and Mason Manuel each had a pair of assists with pinpoint passing to setup teammates. In the end, goalie Reece Barkhouse was on allowing only 1 goal on 39 shots as Black edged out White 5-4.
Reece Barkhouse 1G/39 shots
Cormac Simmons 8G/43 shots
*** STARS OF EACH GAME ***
Although it is not all about stats, we want to introduce the kids to HTBHL so we are providing them with some of the same benefits the adult leagues enjoy. For the 3 stars in the schedule portion of the website we will go mainly by statistics as we do in our adult leagues. We will also highlight below players in each game that maybe didn't get a star but are good teammates, show good sportsmanship and work hard to improve and had a good week on the floor.
A – Xavier Nantes
B – Tristan Hamzo
GOALIE: Cormac Simmons
