Novice T2 MD West Alliance Champions
Written by: Chris Holloway
The Stratford Neumeister Motors Novice T2 capped an incredible post-season run with a 3-1 win over West London on Saturday to become Alliance Playoff Champions. The Novices won the final series five points to one.
Carter Musselman scored twice for the Warriors and Kaden Eybergen sealed the win with an empty netter. Assists went to Alex Cassone, Luke Gaylor, Erik Smith and Camden Daigle.
After beginning the playoffs with 2 round robin losses, the Novices won their next 3 games to qualify for the semi-finals. They then swept North London in 2 straight games before defeating West London in the finals.
The young Warriors were 7-0-1 in their last 8 games, a stretch in which goaltenders Carson Knott and Cieran Diebolt were instrumental in. The entire Warrior team played unselfish, gritty hockey.
