Neumeister Warriors Finish Third
In early morning action on Sunday, November 26th, The Neumeister Motors Tier Two Novice Warriors took on the Tier One Burlington Bulldogs in Challenge Cup Semifinal action. The Warriors "played hard" according to Coach Smith and showed how far they have come this season by competing so well against a strong Tier One Bulldog team. Despite the 6-0 loss, the team finished a respectable third in the tournament and had a great time together.
In the game, Josh Steele, Kadyn Adams and Cody Duiker impressed with determined play, strong skating and some good passing. Ezra Wreford and Fischer McPherson were strong on defence and did limit Bulldog chances by clearing the puck. Lucas Morrison, John Spillane and Kieran Johnson were solid and reliable on the blue line.
Caellum Parsons continued his run of strong play with another big effort for Stratford. Evan Hughes continued to be dangerous in attack, Nolan Tryssenar and Rowan Green showed grit throughout the tournament. Both goaltenders, Davis Longston and Quinn Smith, did a good job holding back a strong Burlington attack and making big saves as the Warriors were outshot.
The entire Warrior team played well today and have a lot to be proud of for the efforts in the tournament.
The boys returned home for rest and a new week of regular season action and practise.
