It was an early morning start for the Highland Storm U9 MD team as they hit the ice versus the Lindsay Muskies Feb. 22.
Though it was bright and early, the team was wide awake.
The game started with the Storm coming out in full force. Despite strong defence by the Muskies, the fish were unable to stop our strong forward lines with the first goal going to the blue and white; who finished the first period with a 1-0 lead.
The second period started just as strong; 32 seconds in, another unstoppable goal for the Storm. This was the first of the period followed by two more in the back of the net, ending the second 4-0. The crowd held its breath in the last seconds as the Muskies had a shot on net, but we were saved by the bell and the refs waved it off.
Going into the third, the Storm did not slow down. The defence remained strong and resilient, showing no mercy. Though the Muskies snuck a goal in half way through the third, they were no match for the Storm, who put two more in the back of the net, making the final score 5-1.
A huge shoutout to the entire squad, for playing as a team, making great passes, and trying their absolute hardest every shift.
