The girls are off to a fantastic start in the Walter Gretzky Tournament in Brantford. With two games and to wins the ScotiabankBantam HL Lady Rebels have already made their mark for the weekend. Breaking their two goal record, not once but twice!
Game one against the Orillia Hawks Red team was slow to start. 3 minutes into the play the Rebels "Ghost" team member # 15 appears on the game sheet. Taking credit for Aly Airdrie's goal, assisted by Jolina McLean and Sara Boulter. The Rebels pushed to no avail through the rest of the period. But the Hawks evened the score with 2 minutes remaining. The "Ghost" Rebel makes a second appearance as Kyla Thalen scores goal #2.Giving Brooklyn Mole the "push" she needed to screen the Hawk's goaltender.
Aly Airdrie tried for the hat trick but had to settle for two out of three. Earning $5 and MP.
GAME Two against the Ancastor Avalanche was an abs-cruncher! What a great game. Everyone gave it their all. Sara Boulter got things started with a little help from Carly Acton. Jayden kept things going with goal number 2 off of Janna Wardell_ Goaltender Jadzia Leask made sure there was nO goals for the Avalanche in period one. In period two and three Aly Airdrie tried for the hat trick once again. She brought the team's "record score" up to 4 but that third goal eluded her. Rebel Goalie Jadzia Leask held the Avalanche off for 18 shots,2 periods and three minutes. Avalanche forward Ashlee Mullen was determined to get her goal.
Janna Wardell earned herself MVP.
Excellent Day One Lady Rebels!
Good Luck tomorrow.
