Essa Eagles March Madness Jamboree
On March 10-12 the Paris U8-2 Wolfpack travelled to Angus for their third and final jamboree of the season!

This jamboree was the second sleepover jamboree for this group, and although the games were all played on the Saturday, most families made the very slow drive to Barrie on Friday in what was hopefully the final winter storm of the year!

After a great team dinner, and fantastic night at the hotel hanging out around the pool along with some epic mini stick games, the team was ready to get down to business on Saturday!

First game of the tournament was against Newcastle and Paris was going to make sure everyone at the tournament was well aware that they were there to play! With a smothering forecheck and dominant offensive game, Paris walked away with a very decisive win!

Between games the Essa organizers hosted a skills competition in which 3 of our players competed in, and in my humble opinion strongly believe that our 3 players were tops in the event! These 3 players not only showed off there skills that they have been working on all year but also represented their team and the PMHA very professionally. Not to be outdone, the players and families in the stands were by far, without a doubt, the loudest fanbase cheering on their kids in the event! Showing once again that this team is not just about the players but everyone involved. Thank you to all players and families for making sure everyone knew who the Paris Wolfpack was!

Second game of the tournament was against one of the host Essa teams, and although there were a few fireworks at the end of the game (due to this Paris teams dominant play). Paris once again controlled the game right from the opening faceoff with the same smothering forecheck which exhausted the opposition and gave Paris another decisive win!

Third and final game of the tournament was against the second host Essa team, and even though the game was much quieter than the previous game, Paris still continued to dominate and wear down the opposition, taking the third and final game in the same fashion as they did the previous two games!

This young Paris team could not have made their coaches anymore proud than the way they played in this tournament! Everything we had been working on all year came together in these three games, from the players own individual development to their development as a team, these players showed what hard work and dedication can achieve, outscoring the opposition by more than 30 goals (unofficially) in 3 games! Even though we do not officially keep score and their are no winners or losers at this age group, this team has been a winning group right from the beginning of the season and this was a perfect end to what has been an awesome year!
