Novice Rep - League Play-offs
The Wolfpack Novice Rep team worked hard all year to finish 7th out of 19 teams in the Southern Counties Regular season. Based on their record, they have been placed in the A division play-offs for the 2015/16 season. This is a great accomplishment for the team which returned three players from the previous season.
In their opening game, Paris dropped a 6-1 decision to s strong and aggressive Ingersoll team. The teams played to a tight 2-1 score during the opening period. Midway through the 2nd, Ingersoll took control with a pair of quick goals and controlled the play in the 3rd.
The Wolfpack returned to action after their tournament in Ayton where the team played 3 strong games on their way to the B finals. Three games in one day caught up to Paris in the final where they dropped a 6-2 decision to Saugeen Shores.
Back in league action, Paris travelled to Caledonia to face the Thunder. Tied 2-2 after the first period, Paris fell behind after the Thunder scored 4 times in a 3 minute span as Caledonia skated to an 8-3 win.
After dropping their opening two play-off games, Paris hosted a strong Tillsonburg team that had only lost once during the regular season. The Wolfpack played a strong and aggressive game for 35 minutes and held a 3-1 lead late in the third. Tillsonburg battled hard and found the net twice in the final 3 minutes to tie the game at 3. With no overtime being played, each team earned a point for their effort.
Up next for the Novice Wolfpack is a date in Ayr on Tuesday night and then a home game against Aylmer on Thursday.
