Peewee girls tie Kanata in exciting game

December 9, 2015

The Leveque Brothers/Rock Breaker Peewee C girls headed to Peterborough this past weekend for the Ice Kats Tournament. 
Their first game was mid  Friday  afternoon  taking on the Kitchener Lady Rangers. The girls played a strong game against a team that they would not normally see in regular season. 
Within the three periods, these evenly matched teams held each other in check with minimal scoring opportunities. Kitchener was able to get one past Courtney Semach to take the game at  at 1-0    win. 
The second game of the day had the Leveque Brothers/ Rock Breaker Jets face the Haldimand River Cats B team.  The girls came out skating hard and played well. They came away with no tallies on the board, losing 2-0 to the well rounded Haldimand “B” club.
Saturday  the girls showed up prepared for battles and races against the Kanata Rangers. 
Emma Tidey opened up the scoring for the Jets early in the game, assisted by Beth Brownlee, thus giving a huge boost to the Jets bench. With steady pressure, the Jets were able to take a 2-1 lead when Peyton Armstrong banked another unassisted. 
With Kanata continuously forcing strong plays, Tidey was able to get her second of the game putting a 3-2 lead back on the score board.   
After 32 minutes of play, time ran out with a 3-3 tie for the Leveque Brothers/Rock Breaker Peewee Girls. 
The girls came away from this tournament with heads held high, showing lots of heart, determination and great sportsmanship.
Coaches, trainers, family and friends are very proud of you all!
