On Sunday, January 21, the Neumeister Motors Tier Two Novice Warriors traveled to Waterloo to take on the Wolves in regular season action. The team played well together and put up a strong and determined effort on the road. They came out on the wrong end of a 3-0 game, however the Warriors showed continued growth as a team and as individuals.
The Warriors had several stand out efforts in Waterloo. Among the best efforts were from call-ups Luke Hishon and Ryder Duchesne who skated well, won some battles for the puck and really helped the team out in their Tier Two debuts. Cody Duiker played tough on the boards with some great digging for the puck. John Spillane had three shots on net and a near miss that went just wide. Kieran Johnson had a breakaway. Evan Hughes and Josh Steele had great hustle and created numerous chances. On defence Lukas Morrison, Nolan Tryssennar and Caellum Parsons were reliable, clearing the puck and limiting Waterloo chances. The team was unfortunate not to score. Davis Longston played well in net, making several saves.
The team headed home for a short rest before hosting Kitchener Jr. Rangers White on Tuesday.
