Novice LL#1, U9, 2015-2016 (TCDMHA)

Back on home ice, in front of a packed house in Desboro, the Desboro Tire Novice LL#1 team WINS IN OVERTIME defeating the Howick Hornets 2-1! It was a tight battle from the first drop of the puck to the last whistle of the game. Great defensive plays by both teams and fantastic goaltending by Rebels goalie Jacob Fluney, not to mention the strong offence and sniper shots from the forwards proved again that teamwork is the key to winning hockey games.

The big ice surface proved too much for the visiting Desboro Tire Novices as they faced the Lucknow Sepoys in South Central Elite Playoff action! The Township of Chatsworth squad held the home team off the scoreboard for the first half of the game, but then Colton Maki one of the AP players called up for the game skated end to end and found the top corner not once but twice to put the Sepoys ahead. Another goal was added by Lucknow but the Rebels were not giving up! 

Playoffs continued for the Desboro Tire Novice LL#1 team. The visiting Lucknow Sepoys were a strong skating club and our boys kept them off the scoreboard for the first 2 periods. Their hard pressure in front of our net was rewarded with a couple of goals in the 3rd period however and time ran out before the Rebels could get the goose-egg off the scoreboard!

The weather was beautiful all weekend, but the Desboro Tire Novice LL#1 team had to contend with 2 strong Storm teams on Saturday and Sunday!

The Desboro Tire Novice LL#1 squad began their playoff run with a big 6-0 win over the visiting Wingham Ironmen.
