Owen Sound Firefighter Junior Attack Deliver On and Off the Ice
Nov 8th
2015. The Owen Sound Firefighter Junior Attack had a very successful weekend winning the minor Bantam
division of the Silver Stick Qualifier and helped to deliver food to the local food bank.
The team went 3-1 in round robin Play, with a 5-3 win over Barrie, a 5-4 loss to Brantford 2-0 win against Bradford, and a 3-2 win against Aurora. This record put the team in the final on Sunday morning against the Branford 99ers. The fire fighter squad won the title, beating the 99ers 3-0. All three lines contributed on the score sheet. Preston Downs was solid in net. The Team qualifies for the International Silver Stick in Newmarket Jan 14-17, 2016.
The Firefighter Junior Attack also completed the weekend, delivering non- perishable food that had been collected during a two-week food drive. The effort was organized by the team, which saw them challenging the Owen Sound Bantam A Ice Hawks to see who could collect the most items. Both teams met at the Bayshore Community Centre on Sunday to deliver the food collected, to members of the Salvation Army food bank.
A total of 1610 lbs of food was collected, a remarkable effort by all players, to achieve this result. The teams would like to thank all those who helped them, help those less fortunate.
