Peewee girls’ hockey is underway.
After four games the stats are one loss, two ties, and one win.
Their loss was also their first game, against the Victoria Peewee Rep A girls. They travelled down to Victoria in the early morning hours to be there for game start at 9:15 a.m. The Victoria team was a force to be reckoned with. The Tyees came out strong but the home team controlled most of the game.
The girls now realize how important conditioning is going to be to take their game to the next level. With a few more practices under their belt and a few line changes, they are now starting to come together and in short order will prove that they are a force to contend with.
The next two games in Campbell River were against house teams which were both ties. Teamwork is huge in the sport of hockey and the girls are finding their game together, passing, defending and scoring.
Their fourth game was against the Sooke Peewee Rep A girls and the difference from game one to game four is proof that time and practice makes for good hockey. The lines were quick with just enough time to catch their breath, get a drink and then on the ice again giving their all for quick, explosive shifts.
The final score was 4-2 for the Tyees with Julia Wing scoring un-assisted in the first period and Taylor Rose scoring with the assist from Tara Dickson in the second. In the third period Briana Vandenberg scores the final two goals with assists from Lisa Loyd and Tara Dickson.
All the players are doing an awesome job – from the ‘D’ that help goalie Shaylene Gjesdal to the forwards for keeping the game in the other end.
