Schedule & Results, Novice Rep, U9 (2012), 2012/2013 (South Muskoka Minor Hockey Association)

Now this was playoff hockey.  The first period was an end to end battle between both teams - pressing hard in the corners both the Bears and the Shamrocks fought hard to keep the puck out of their own end. There were some great shots and scoring opps for the Bears but they just couldn't capitalize.  The second period started off the same way until The Thompson, Davis, Burns line worked out some great plays and allowed Thompson to put two quick ones in the net. The Bears had what they thought was a comfortable lead going into the 3rd.  Parry Sound came out extra hard in the third and kept goalie Mitchell Webb on his game.  Parry Sound put one by Webb to pull within one.  A scramble later on in front of the net off a Bears skate slid one past Webb who didn't know what happened to cut the lead to 1.  The Bears kept trying but couldn't get some insurance.  The Shamrocks tied it up late in the 3rd to send this one to OT.  OT proved to be the battle we knew these two teams would give - locked up in a tie.
