The Sq**rt 1 Wildcats wrapped up October with a little help from their Sq**rt 2 and Mite 1 friends. Playing 4 games over the last 2 weekends, the team had plenty of ups and downs. They get a break this coming weekend then they're back at it in November! Thanks to Kevin Ryu for the amazing pics from the Crusaders & Haverhill games.

The Crusaders game was a high scoring Wildcat game that celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the Crusaders team. POG, Sammy Yanagisawa netted 3 goals and Grit Awardee, Mason Resendes led the team with confidence. The team pulled off a great win, but coming together for a team pic with the Crusaders at the end for Breast Cancer Awareness is what this game was all about.

The Cats finished October with a 4-4 tie vs. a tough Arlington team. Colin Layton earned the Grit Award for his goaltending, which kept the team tied despite Arlington's push in the third period. POG, Aiden McManus, was a force on Defense and netted his first goal of the season with a snipe from the point! Great October, Sq**rt 1's!

The Bantam Boys were shivering in the Burlington Ice Palace locker room number one at 6:30am, but by the time they took the ice they came out on fire vs. the 9 and 1 Maddogs. After a dominant first shift. “Catman” Zach Stroud came over the D boards next and took one end to end weaving through traffic and buried the snapper up over the glove for the early lead 1-0 🚨. Braden “The Marksman” Nee jumped on “The Hammer” Surran’s rebound and roofed it for 2-0 🚨. Brian “The Bruiser” Doherty down the right side boards with the perfect backhand feed to Cody “Big Mac” MacDonald for the back door goal 3-0🚨. Matthew “The Magician” Riley to “Shot out of a Cannon” Scanlon back to Riley five hole 4-0 Cats 🚨. Zach Stroud tried the drive through tip and then laid the hammer down the other end as he hustled up and down the ice. The boys were showcasing the passing skill’s Doe to Mac to Doe and “Doeboy” finishes to make it 5-0 🚨. Scanlon snuck out of the corner like he was sneaking out his bedroom window to go meet his girlfriend and tucked one in as time ran out in the first 6-0 Wildcats 🚨. “Clubber” Laing was serving his linemates scoring opportunities like Oprah handing out Pontiac’s and then he chased down a streaking Maddog down the other side of the ice. Kid does it all. Josh “Golden Glove” Stroud called up from the peewee ones flashed the leather on a Beauty of a stop on what had been a relatively slow morning then followed that up with another on a chance in tight. Scanlon rips one toward goal and Riley gets just enough wood on it to redirect it up and in for the unreal tip 7-0 Wilmington 🚨. Stroud looks for the long range pass to Scanlon but he blew a tire. Occasional tendy David “Lapointe Blanc” instinctively played some goalie in front of Josh forgetting he didn’t have his pads on today 🤣. Then Matthew “The Magician” Riley with a filthy deke on the poor Maddog netminder to bring it to 8-0 🚨 and complete the Hatty 🎩. B Nee said “I can do that” and put on a disgusting display of his own with the highlight reel finish to make it 9-0🚨. For those who are wondering…. We had already very much taken the foot off the gas pedal but it’s hard to hold up when you are in all alone. Off to the third we went. Between periods I told the boys the mission was to get a shutout for the kid. Speaking of Josh, he made another flashy glove save on a breakawayish chance for the Maddogs. Zach sent one up ice to Doe and he rang the post. Doherty just missed short side off the tape to tape pass from “Big Mac.” Nee wasn’t done yet and finished his Hatty as well 🎩 as he was getting mauled and somehow was able to finish it to make it 10-0🚨. Zach with a timely stick check to keep the shutout intact for lil bro.
AND THEN…..
After all that poor Josh gloved one down in the closing two minutes and flipped it into the corner but it got stuck in his glove and tricked to the line…… GOAL signaled the ref! The poor kid! After review though team photographer AKA “Dad” Mike “The Cameraman” Stroud did some investigating and it appears the puck is sitting on the goal line 🤷‍♂️. I guess we’ll never know 😜. Kid was a stud. I’ll take a couple Hatty’s and a standout performance from a younger brother and a 10-1 win on my 45th birthday ! Even if it had to be at 7am 😩

Early morning hockey can be tough! 😴🏒 The Mite 3 team started a little slow today, but really found their game in the second half and came away with a great team win over Tewksbury.

The scoring was spread around with 6 different goal scorers, and today’s Player of the Game, Ryan Nee, chipped in 2 goals while showing off some excellent passing and teamwork.

Way to go Wildcats!
