Walkom's Valu-Mart Tyke 1 Home Opener
The Walkom's Valu-Mart Tyke 1 season home opener on Saturday morning (Nov.5) was exciting to say the least.

The Meteors were in tough against a visiting Central Perth team with a deep three line attack that never stopped putting pressure on goalie Bryson Eickmeyer. With over 15 shots turned away by Eickmeyer he looked calm and collected all game. The scoring was opened for the Meteors at the 39min mark when Blake Otten took advantage of a turn over at the blue line, he beat one defender with some strong stick handling and made no mistake going top shelf. About 5 mins later Owen Jarmuth picked up the puck at the red line and showed everyone why he is one of the quickest players on the ice when he skated around 3 opposing players and beat the goalie to put the home team up 2 - 0. Ben Hubbard scored what would be the eventual game winner at the 31min mark with a nifty forehand back hand move. Hubbard didn't change his approach which on his next two goals (25min and 15min) earning him the natural hat trick! Helpers on his last goal came from Cole Templeman and Connor Wolfe. This was a great team performance from everyone. All the players saw lots of ice time with multiple double-shifts required throughout the game. Good luck next week in Milverton!
