Hensall Tournament Update
The Novice Rep Wolfpack travelled to Hensall for a 2 day tournament and came away with a tie and a pair of losses. The team came up against three strong teams from SW Ontario and the strong competition will help the Wolfpack as they move through the season.
Paris opened with a 6-1 loss to Lambton Shores. Coming off a big win against Norwich, the Wolfpack got off to a solid start on Friday night but trailed 2-0 after the first period. A tough 2nd period found the Wolfpack trailing 6-0 after two periods. Paris responded with a strong third period scoring their only goal and holding Lambton Shores off the scoreboard.
Saturday morning, Paris faced the Goderich Sailors and played one of their best games of the season. Paris scored once in the first and once in the second period to take a 2-0 lead. The lead held until just under 5 minutes to play in the third period when Goderich scored twice in a 27 second span to tie the game.
The Wolfpack had a short 1 hour break between games and had to return to the ice to face BCH in a game where the winner moved on to the B final. Paris jumped out early to a 1-0 lead only to see BCH score twice to take a 2-1 lead. The Wolfpack tied the game at two with just over two minutes left in the first period. However, the short rest started to catch up to the boys from Paris and BCH would eventually score 5 unanswered goals to take a 7-2 win.
Paris returns to action on Tuesday night with a game in Ayr and then returns to Paris for a game on Thursday vs Six Nations.
