PeeWee Major, 2011-12 (Owen Sound Minor Hockey Group)

Our Goaltending was solid. Our Blueline stood tall. Our Forwards skated hard, crashed the net, scored 9 goals in 3 games and overall we saved our best performances for the end of season this past weekend, while playing in the East Gwillimbury Spring Fling Hockey Tournament. Penalties proved costly for the boys in games 1 and 2 as they lost both games on Friday by scores of 3-2, as the opponent from East Gwillimbury and Erie North Shore scored 5 of the 6 goals while on the power play and that was the difference in both games.

While the boys cannot be faulted for effort, the goalies cannot be faulted for GA, and the Coaches have done their best, generating offence has been a problem for this team all season.  Arm chair coaches will all agree 5 goals in 6 games is just not going to cut it in the OMHA playoffs.  Owen Sound Harold Sutherland Major PeeWees went 1 and 5 in OHMA playoffs over the past 3 weeks and were, as most teams end up, bounced from further OMHA play.

Hard physical play, commitment, team work, short shifts, solid defence and steady goaltending was the formula for success for the Owen Sound Harold Sutherland Construction Major Peewee’s as they started the OMHA title run vs Guelph on Saturday.  

The Owen Sound Harold Sutherland Major PeeWee team spent the past few days in NOTL playing against 4 teams they have not seen this year.  After having beaten Burlington 5 to 1 prior to Christmas expectations were high.

There are high crests and even deeper troughs in every season, teams you own and teams that seem to own you.   If it is true that numbers make liars and liars make numbers then Burlington Eagles who are the number 2 team in the league were beaten soundly by the number 10 team in the league by a score of 5 to 1 on Friday night.
