An Amazing performance this weekend Overcoming adversity in every game!
These Cougars for the 2nd Tourney in a row proved what Champions look like as they took home the coveted "Port Huron.....Devon Dhoine Bobble Head Trohpy' ;)
They believed in themselves, they believed in each other, they were determined not to be outworked..... and most importantly they dreamed BIG !!!
Round robin victories of 3-1, 1-0, and 5-3 sent the Cougars to the Semis on Saturday afernoon where they spanked the Macomb Cowboys and their Horses with a 3-0 victory!!
Afterwards the team bonded and celebrated Jada Doxtators 12th Birthday with a Fantastic authentic Italian dinner at Pompeiis in downtown Port Huron. Coach Pete highly recommends the Calimari... Coach Jamie the "bottomless" salad....Coach John the "meatballs" ....Coach Fraser the red "whine" ....and Coach Erick the " moving bed" of Linguini :)
Championsip Sunday morning began with a Progsnostication by Ben of " dont worry Mom, OUR team knows how to WIN"!! Truer words were never spoken as GOLD stepped onto the aptly named "Canada" ice surface and overcame adversity killing penality after penalty completing a 100% tournament penalty kill percentage..(plus not to mention adding 4 shorthanded tournament Goals as well)
Championship Final Score / MB Cougars 6.... Port Huron Flags 0
Cougars outscored their opponents 18 - 4 this weekend while supporting the stellar netminding of Jacob Campbell with 3 shutouts!!
I personally want to thank all the players and families for such an incredible weekend. Special thanks to John Maddock for organizing the event...plus all the coaching staff and especially Pete Holt ( Don Cherry ) for stepping up to Head Coach the team
when I wasnt able to be there...and for continuing to Coach so successfully even after I arrived!! :))
PS, note to Coach Jamie, dont forget to ask to borrow Pete's outfit for Paris in January ;)
As Always, its an honour to be part of this Team!!
Cheers,
Coach Fraser
