JV Hockey v. Holy Name

We had a thriller in the Alfond Dome on Saturday. This was a wild, back and forth game with high intensity and lots of scoring. We began the first period full of energy and enthusiasm from Winter Carnival earlier in the day. Holy Name struck first with an opening goal, but we soon responded in the very next shift to tie the game at one. The scoring was only beginning though as we exchange goal after goal until the horn sounded to end the first period as the score was 5 to 4 with Holy Name in the lead. In the second period, we settled down into a good defensive mode, but still exchanged goals with our opponent. Our power play was really clicking in the second period and into the third. We were able to draw within one goal and pulled our goalie with less than a minute to gain another skater. We had several opportunities in the closing minute, but could not tie the score. This was a great game and demonstrated the immense progress our team has made in skill, but more importantly, in team work.
