In a thrilling home opener, the U11 Curry Chevrolet REP team showcased their resilience, securing a commanding 8-2 victory over the Millbrook Stars.
The game began on a slightly sluggish note for the Storm, as they found themselves trailing 2-0 in the first period. However, the tide swiftly turned when, with just under two minutes remaining, Blake Little unleashed a jaw-dropping shot from just beyond the blue line, narrowing the gap.
The second period witnessed goalkeeper Liam Scheffee stepping up in spectacular fashion, with a series of great saves and setting the stage for an offensive onslaught from the Storm. William Brown, Rowan Little, and a thunderous slap shot from Wyatt Braun.
Entering the final period with renewed vigour, and with Kolby Hogg taking over in net, the Storm’s Austin Cunningham emerged as a force to be reckoned with, slotting two back-to-back goals past the Stars’ defense.
The intensity did not wane as the clock ticked down. Carter McCord and Chase Casey sealed the deal with two precision strikes, putting an exclamation mark on a stellar performance.
Honourable mention to the players who helped set up these goals, notably Maddex Reynolds with four, Austin Cunningham with two and Carter McCord and Ethan Draker with one.
Keep up the good work and thank you for giving the home fans an unforgettable season opener.
