Mid-Season Full Steam Team
We are mid-season, with 15 regular season games completed, and the Clippers can be proud of a strong record so far. But we are only 1/2 way to playoffs with a lot of challenging hockey ahead.
Following a great match-up in exhibition play with the Whitby Wildcats, the boys picked up a win against Bradford last Thursday, with another shut out marked for Ethan. The defensive play kept the Bulldogs at bay, but the scoreboard was not tilted until late into the game. The Clippers struggled to get one by the amazing play of the Bradford netminder and strong defense that foiled many attempts.
The score remained 1-0 for a long time, until finally the very short Bradford bench gave way to the growing Clipper assault. Bradford came to play with only one spare D and only 2 forward lines. Their fitness never waned, however, and they increased their shots on net against the Clippers in the final minutes of the game. In the end, however, our home team Clippers put up 4 insurance goals in the third period, leaving the rink with a 5-0 win.
Today, November 21st, is your last chance to enjoy a home team game for the PW AE Clippers against the Newmarket Redmen. After this, the kids don their blacks for the next 4 games away, and don`t return until December 15th when they face Schomberg at CC1.
So come on out, bring your Clipper-wear and good spirits. Let`s send the boys on the road knowing they have the home team crew rooting for them as they battle for a playoff spot.
15 down.... 15 to go....
GO CLIPPERS GO!
