Great start to the year for the Midget AA Clippers. Some creative and exciting playmaking from our forwards, strong defensive play in our own zone, and outstanding goaltending with only 4 goals allowed in 5 games.
Call-outs to Alex McKean and Cam Nowikow who both recorded early season shutouts. Jon Colley and Sean Hoey lead the scoring attack with 5 and 4 points respectively, while Blake Marconi had a pair of rocket goals to help lead the charge. While not the ultimate outcome we were looking for, it was a definite early learning experience. We now know that we can't win a competitive tournament when we spend 15% more time in the penalty box than our collective opponents. Just imagine what we could have done if we were in the box 15% less than our opponents.
All in all, a great start for the team and a job well done.
