Another victory for Peewee girls’ team

February 17, 2016

With playdown games in full force, the Leveque Brothers/Rock Breaker Bancroft Peewee Girls’ Jets headed to Keene to face the Wolverines Saturday morning for game one of a double header.
Bancroft took advantage early when Emma Tidey (2), Elyse Ives, and Hannah McMann all scored in the first period. Continuing hard work into the second period, Emma Neuman and McMann both sniped one past the Keene goaltender after Chloe Billings and Sterling Nesbitt sent precise passes ahead. The third period gave Charity Trotter and Ryan Rupnow assists when Ava Smith banked the last goal of the game in. 
Courtney Semach made key saves in the final minutes of the game leading the team to a 7-0 shutout win. 
For game #2 of the day, friends and family headed to Haliburton to see the Jets square off against the Ennismore Eagles.
Again, the Leveque Brothers/Rock Breaker Peewee Girls dominated the ice surface and found the back of the net three times within the first 10 minutes.
With the early three-goal cushion, the Jets pushed thru the second period demonstrating an energetic focus on the play down drive.
The game ended with a solid team effort, with many players adding to the final tally. Peyton Armstrong, Beth Brownlee, Elyse Ives, Ava Smith, Ryan Rupnow, Hannanh McMann, Emma Tidey, Olivia Villamere, Ryan Rupnow and Sterling Nesbitt all had points, leading to four more goals and another 7-0 victory.
Congratulations team on a great weekend of hockey. The Peewee girls are back in action on Feb. 20 when they take on the Peterborough Ice Kats in Haliburton at 3 p.m., and again on Feb. 21 in Frankford facing the Cold Creek Comets.
