Tyke "B", 2012-2013 (Whitchurch Stouffville Minor Hockey Association)

After losing their first ever playoff game at home on Thursday night, the Clippers travelled to Unionville for game 2 to try to get back into the series. In Game 1, the Clippers could not find their legs in the first 5 minutes of the first period and found themselves down 3 goals early. The Clippers could not find enough offence to get back in the game however they battled and played the Jets even over the last 25 minutes. Game 2 would be a different story Sat afternoon at Angus Glen....

The Clippers travelled to Richmond Hill on Sunday afternoon to battle the top ranked Richmond Hill Stars.

The Clippers could not keep up in the first period and found themselves behind by 4 goals heading into the second period (Remember Clippers, always move your feet when battling for that puck.) In the second and third periods, our compete level was much higher and we were able to ...

Another home game in Stouffville Friday night saw the pesky Tyke B Clippers host the cross town rival Aurora Tigers. With recent losses to excellent Barrie and Richmond Hill teams, the Clippers were looking forward to another tough game! The Tigers came our roaring with 2 quick goals in the first 5 mins of the period. With doubt starting to set in again, an exciting moment happened in our young season when big John fought off two Tiger players and carried the puck from our own end into the offensive zone where he buried a low blazing shot past the Aurora goalie to score the Clippers first ...

 The Tyke B Clippers entertained another boisterous group of supporters on Sunday at Stouffville Arena. Unfortunately, our boys and girls fell short despite another valiant and spirited effort.
