U14's win 2007-2008 playoffs

The first match was against the Devils with face-off at 9.00 am. This was a very fast game right from the start and it was obvious both teams were determined to win. 

Our team was as follows (in alphabetical order) Jack Alexander, Luke & Dale Campbell, Michael and Andy Creane, Neill Flannigan, Ross & Danny Jordan, Matthew Martin and Johnathan Thompson. 

Michael scored the first goal assisted by Luke.  Dale did a powerful slapshot but it deflected of the top right corner. Unlucky Dale . There were many shots on goal from both sides and Jack had many great saves but just let one slip through.

Ross then scored the winning goal.

But then there was a touch of madness. Matthew was sent to the sin bin and the Devils had a power play. We were winning 2-1 and our boys were so hyped up they just kept attacking trying to score. They forgot the basic rule of DEFENCE, DEFENCE, DEFENCE durying a penalty but they were lucky and the Devils failed to score. 

Risky Boys! But very exciting to watch . 

The Devils and ECB pulled out of the playoffs as they did not have enough players which meant the Badgers went straight through to the Finals.
 

U14 Playoff Final between Chiefs and the Badgers

The boys were on a high after beating the Devils and Michael scored within the first 2 minutes, quickly followed by Ross literally 10 seconds later. That was it ! There was no stopping them ! Matthew scored the next goal with, in his own words “a fluke”  but hey they all count Matthew. Well done. 

After that the scoring was so fast I couldn’t keep up. We definitely dominated the puck but the Badgers did have quite a few shots on goal and Jack saved every one. It was a shot out finishing score being 10 – 0.

The goals were as follows:

Michael scored 1

Ross scored 1

Dale scored 4, one assisted by his brother Luke and one by Danny.

Matthew scored 2

Luke scored 1

Andy scored 1

 A special WELL DONE to the following players who played 4 games in a row for the U12’s and U14’s giving everything they had– Jack Alexander, Andy Creane, Luke Campbell , Danny Jordan and Johnathen Thompson.
