After consecutive 3-2 defeats Warriors back in Win Column

The All Equip Repair Stratford Peewee MD Warriors relationship with wins is back on track with a nail biting back and forth affair with the 6-7-2 Waterloo Wolves White.  The Warriors had recently been edged by the top three teams 3-2 in three consecutive games. The squad had consistently been finding themselves down early and seemingly not fully immersed into the game only to trudge back with strong come from behind efforts too little, too late.  Frustration has been the feeling of the season for the MD Warriors and their faithful and loyal fan base.   

The Wolves White would enter the Molson Arena Wednesday evening to a Warriors Team who had been eagerly anticipating their arrival since the past weekend storm had kept them away for three long days. Both middle of the road teams were hungry to prove to each other just what they were made of. The Wolves, struggling to break .500 and the Warriors, perennial underachievers in this 2019/2020 campaign.

Early in the first and as what’s been the habit of the Warriors, the Wolves would penetrate deep into a sleepy warrior defensive zone and slip one past Sippel early 1-0. This would be followed quickly with 2-0 goal and the Warriors would find themselves on their heels early yet again. Warrior sniper Dylan Abel decided enough was enough and shone up his stick on the bench and got to work. His relationship with the goal tonight would be a harrowing yet successful mix between red steel and white twine. He started with a far post and in rocket from the slot bringing the boys within one. His stick was only getting warm though as he would blast in two more in between 3 more shots off the iron stands that could easily be heard from the neighbouring RBC rink.

The Wolves would retaliate in the first going back up 3-1 when Abel would put in his second rounding out the first with a familiar scoreboard 3-2. Into the second and with a defensive zone takedown that would land beaten Bennett Nyenhuis in the box the Wolves would capitalize going up 4-2 much to the dismay of the home crowd. The Wolves scoring however would stop from here and the Warriors would get back to work. Abel’s hot stick would toss in his third from Zach Scrimgeour and Owen Chadwick would take a beautiful feed from Spencer Murphy from behind the net tying the games until late in the third where Liam Olsen would cement the Warrior’s rallying come from behind victory 5-4 in front of the home crowd.

The boys would take a rare weekend off to hone their street hockey skills Saturday morning and anticipate meeting the 5th place Rangers Red and rematch the Wolves White on the road this week.

On Sunday, the Peewee MD team took advantage of a weekend off and organized a road hockey team building event.
