GRAND LAKE WILD VAUTOUR CAPTURES LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!  As the season headed towards the end, the Grand Lake Wild Vautour ended the season in first place after round robin play in the play-offs.  The boys were to play a best of three series against the Doaktown Hitmen.  The series started on Thursday night in Minto where to boys played to a 3-0 win!  Great job Jamieson as you racked up another shut-out!!!!  Goals were scored by Wade Hetherington, Alex Colwell and Haidin Perry.  Assists for the night were by Haidin Perry, Adam Belliveau and Stormie Beers.   One more to go . . . .

It was off the Doaktown on Friday night for a late start against the Hitmen.  The game preceeding ours was a game seven for the Hitmen Midget team and Doaktown was succesful.  The arena was packed and many stayed on to cheer on their home team, hoping for a second victory . . .
Both teams came out fired up, Doaktown clinging for "life" and the Wild wanting to finish the series and season.  It was the Hitmen who put up the first goal during the second period and ten minutes later Alex Colwell answered with a goal assisted by Adam Belliveau and Julien Sinnett.  The game stayed tied for most of the third period and the players, coaches and fans thought that overtime was evident.  Then with one minute and six seconds left, Haidin Perry fired a shot assisted by Jarret Blyth and Alex Colvell, that went past Arbeau and the Wild players and fans went "wild".  Now to hold on for one more minute.  The boys played defensively and held down their opponents to the buzzer.  League champions in two straight!!!!!  Mark Bordage from HNB participated in the gold medal ceremony and our boys signed the banner they worked so hard to win!  Way to go guys!!!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for such a wonderful season.  From the parents and players a special thank you goes out to the coaches who dedicate their time and talent to the boys.  A special thank you to Ronnie who works very hard at preparing practices and who motivates and finds that special talent in each individual player and gets them to use it as a team!   Thank you to the parents for a great season, we had a super year with no incidents and a lot of fun.  This is special as you can appreciate.  And last but not least, thank you to our boys who are such a great groups of young men.  You played amazing, but most of all, you represented yourselves and Grand Lake Minor Hockey, with the utmost of respect.  You are truly great young men and it has been a pleasure being your manager!   Have a great off season and see you at the banquet and year-end party!
