U11 LL's Regular Season Off to a Great Start
The Mark Bannon Backhoe U11 LL’s took to the ice to face off against the Zurich Thunder in Mitchell, on November 5th.

The game got underway with lots of action in both ends of the rink, however, it wasn’t until midway through the first period when Cole Ulch picked up the puck at centre ice to carry it in, to get the home town team up on the scoreboard first.  A power-play for Mitchell less than minute later, saw Owen McCarthy take control of the puck in the corner, and send a perfectly executed pass out to Ethan Schoonderwoerd in front of the net, who tapped the puck in for Mitchell’s second goal of the game. 

During the second period, both teams were gaining momentum, and with 4:49 left in the period, the visiting Thunder roared to the scoreboard with a top-shelf wrist shot, to bring the visiting team within one. 

The final period of the game, saw lots of goalie excitement as they were peppered with shots, but Collin Klumper between the pipes for Mitchell, kept the visiting team from scoring any additional goals, and the Meteors notched a solid 2-1 win on home ice.

Next weekend, after a successful month of October of at home ice action, the U11’s are prepared to take their game out on the road, with a Friday night trip to Goderich, followed by a Saturday morning game against the Blyth-Brussels Crusaders.
