This past weekend the Scotiabank Bantam HL Girls traveled to Nottawasaga/Alliston for the Clearview IceCats Christmas in the Valley Tournament. It was a weekend full of ups downs, Christmas Shopping, laughter and team spirit.
Game one was a battle with the Oakville Golden Hawks. After a couple of quick goals by the Hawks in the first period the girls stepped up their game. Unfortunately they just couldn't find the back of the net. They held off the Hawks until the end of period 2. Period 3 the Rebels lost their luck and the final score was 5-0 Oakville.
Game two against the Georgina Goldenhawks was one of the best games the Scotiabank Bantam HL Girls have played this season. From the first puck drop you knew it was going to be fun to watch. At almost the halfway mark in the first period

Brooklyn Mole for a beautiful goal. Putting the Rebels on the board for the first time that weekend. This was the highlight of two periods of great back and forth hockey. Going into the third the Rebels knew they needed to widen the gap. 1-0 was too close for comfort. Both teams wanted the win. Once again at the halfway mark the Rebels came through.

Jadzia Leask and the team held off the GoldenHawks for the rest of the third earning a 2-0 shutout! Way to go Rebels!
Game 3 against Tournament hosts the Clearview IceCats was a nailbiter! For three whole periods these two teams battled in a fantastic game of back and forth hockey. The Scotiabank Bantam HL Rebel Girls worked hard every shift. But they could not put on in the net. With just a 2 minutes on the clock the Rebels luck turns and score was 1-0 IceCats. In an attempt to bring the score back to even the bench staff pulled the goalie but it wasn't enough.
