Game Report by Tony Burrows
 
Once again our shorthanded team gave their fans a thrilling game! These guys just never seem to give up! The hockey is fast paced and very exciting. Taylor Pears, who was named First Star for the second time in a row was truly amazing to watch. The team in front of him was very strong and all the boys played their hearts out. It was very unfortunate that they did not have a little 'puck luck' in this game as the outcome could easily have been the other way around! Special mention to Kevin Smith who was named the game's Third Star! Kevin---Thanks for sticking with the team and helping so much. You can really notice the difference in the way the team plays now you are back after your injury! And Cam Lawson! Congrats on an awesome game. You are so much fun to watch on the ice! Stefan Gonzales, your play is sure getting strong. You are a huge asset to your team. Jaden Schmeisser, Braxton Bilois, Alex Holland, Myles Powell, Mike Sandor, Nolan De Jong , CJ Lillies, I hereby declare you all First Stars of the game! Considering that every one of you is actually playing for 2 players you guys are amazing! I have got no idea how so few players can keep up that pace for an entire 60 minutes of hockey. It truly amazes me how some of you guys can switch from defense to forward and then when the goalie is down you can become an extra goaltender! You guys are getting a chance to become something that not very many other BCHL players can do and that is be a good ALL AROUND player! Necessity breeds innovation! Great game guys! The experience you guys are getting right now through the 'school of hard knocks' will be invaluable to you as your career in hockey continues!
