The Peewee AE's in tough against Tweed Hawks in playoff series
The Napanee Peewee AE Stars made it past the PEC Kings and the Stirling Blues with a record of 4-1-0 in their round robin preliminary playoff series beginning January19th advancing them to play the Tweed Hawks, the winner of the second pool of teams from the regular season.
Friday January 17th the Stars travelled to Tweed for the first game in a series of best 3 of 5 to advance to the OMHA quarter finals. The boys knew they were in tough with this team but all showed up to play even with a few players still feeling the effects of the cold and flu season. The game was fast paced and physical but the boys kept Tweed hemmed in the offensive end quite effectively. Coming back from a score of 3-1 to 3-3 by the third, the Stars worked tirelessly to earn that last point. Unfortunately Tweed beat the Stars earning a point in the last few minutes of the game with a passing play in front of the net making the score 4:3 for the Hawks. Game two brought the Hawks to Napanee. With energy and enthusiasm the Stars set out to battle the Hawks again. Cinnamon did well to help give the Stars the opportunity to win stealing a few points from the opposing team with stellar saves. In the end the Hawks beat the Stars with a 6:2 score. With team members still under the weather the Stars are looking forward to their next match up during the week with the Hawks back at Tweed with a healthier bench.
