AA Peewees Start Regular Season
The Saugeen Maitland AA Peewees started off their regular season with two away games this Thanksgiving Weekend and came home with a win and tie.
On Friday night, the girls travelled to Kitchener-Waterloo to face the Waterloo Ravens. What could be best described as an ok effort, the Lightning came were able to get a goal from Jaymee Nolan to earn the 1-0 win with Skyler Stockie getting the shut-out.
On Sunday after most families had celebrated Thanksgiving a day early this year due to hockey schedules, the Lightning travelled to Toronto to face the Etobicoke Dolphins. Coaching staff had impressed upon the girls that they wanted to see an improved performance and the team responded. The Lightning moved the puck well throughout the game. A strong fore-check accompanied with an equally impressive back-check when needed allowed the girls to control the entire game. However, even though outshooting the Dolphins 27 to 10, the Lightning could not find the back of the net and the game ended in a 0-0 tie with Julia Beaven earning the shut-out between the pipes.
The Saugeen Maitland Lightning's continue their road trip next weekend with games in Cambridge and Guelph.
