Wolfpack Diffuse Rockets in SC League Play
The
Paris Atom Rep Wolfpack hockey team opened December with a road victory as they diffused
the home town Delhi Rockets 3-1 in a well played game at the Delhi Arena on
Tuesday December 1st.
After a scoreless first period, Josh S. opened the scoring with 3 minutes remaining in the second period when he picked up a loose puck at the Wolfpack blue line, used his speed to blow past the Rocket defense and snapped a wrist shot into the net on a breakaway. Adam S. picked up an assist. Just over 1 minute later, Will M. found Tyler A. in the high slot from behind the net. Tyler’s wrist shot beat a screened Rocket goalie to give Paris a 2-0 lead heading into the final frame. Delhi broke Paris goalie Carson B.’s shutout attempt 5 minutes into the third period when they picked up a rebound and found an open part of the net. Will M. restored the Wolfpack 2 goal cushion with just under 5 minutes to play when he stripped a Rocket defender of the puck in front of the Delhi net and beat the Delhi net minder. A strong defensive effort allowed Paris to run out the clock and claim a 3-1 victory.
