All Buisness As The Hornets Hit Hespeler Arena
With 2 more gruelling practices under there belts the Hornets walked into Hespeler Arena  looking every bit the classy bunch of young men and ladies that they are sporting there team dress code, and prepared to take on the Hespeler Shamrocks for our 2nd road game of the season.

You could feel the anticipation in the air as the kids were led through a team warm-up with coach Luis, then strapped on there equipment while sharing a few laughs in the dressing room. When they hit the ice after there tough loss to the Bulldogs there seemed to be alot of energy during there pre-game on ice warm-up. Hespeler came out of the gate fast and furious but our kids equalled to the challenge and shot back 3 minutes into the game with a goal to put us up 1-0. Hespeler answered quickly with a tally of there own and we were all squared at 1 goal a piece. Building on there brilliant performance against the Bulldogs, the Hornets went right back to work and peppered the Shamrocks with countless scoring chances and zone pressure to leave the 1st period with a 3-1 lead. With Hespeler garnering a couple close scoring chances early in the 2nd Alex Stewart shut the door and the Hornets never looked back as they added 2 more tallies by the end of the 2nd to be up 5-1. The 3rd period was all Hornets as they never sat back and added to there goal total to finish up 10-1 in there favour. From the midway point of the 2nd period to the end of the game the Hornets never gave up 1 shot on goal to make it an easy night of work for Nathan Butler. This was just a great team effort by everyone. A couple highlights in the game were Alexander Haskills first Hatrick in this young Select season, a coast to coast Bobby Orr like goal by Riley Silva, tenacious forchecking by Cole Mitchell as well as a goal, not to mention some stubborn defence on our blueline keeping the Shamrocks hemmed in there end for most of the game. But all in all it was an amazing TEAM EFFORT by the Hornets, again Myself and the rest of the coaching staff were very proud of all of them.


GREAT JOB HORNETS !!!
