Bancroft peewee girl Jets vs. Peterborough Ice Kats
December 28, 2015
The Leveque Brothers/Rock Breakers peewee girls were on the ice at the A.J. LaRue arena Saturday evening to face the Peterborough Ice Kats after a two week break.
Both teams came out fierce and wanting to control the puck. With determination, the Jets gained that control and applied steady pressure throughout the game.
Offensive and defensive plays proved to be effective well into the third period, but the Leveque Brothers/Rock Breaker peewee girls were unable to get the puck past the Peterborough goalie. Excellent goaltending from Courtney Semach kept the score board empty, earning her another career shutout.
The Jets will be back on the ice in the New Year, with a fully packed schedule. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season, and look forward to seeing you back at the rink in 2016.
