Peewee Open Season in Midland
Wednesday night the GeoSmart Energy Peewees opened their season against the North Central Predators.
The boys played a gritty game from start to finish winning many of the battles for the puck along the boards and in the corners. They were able to create a number of scoring chances and were finally rewarded for their hard work when Jorden Reaman jammed in rebound at the 5:55 mark of the second (assists to Donnelly and O'Donnell). This helped to bring the game back to a one goal differential.
Penalty trouble (3 pp goals) and couple defensive zone breakdowns allowed the Predators to stretch the lead in the third to finish the game with a 5-1 score.
This was a great opening game with the Highlanders leading scoring chances, essentially even shots (22-21) and winning most of the puck battles and the majority of the physical play. Good start boys.
Their next game is Friday in Ayton at 6 against the Waterloo Wolves.
