This weekend our Under-14s and Under-16s Cubs hit the rink for their final UKIHF games before the festive break โ and wow, what a show of grit, growth, and teamwork! ๐ช๐ฅ
Saturday โ Under-14s Battle Scorpions & Ducks
Our young Cubs faced two tough, experienced teams, but they didnโt back down! Most of this squad usually plays U12s, so stepping up was no small feat.
- Game 1: Hard-fought defensive work kept the pressure on.
- Game 2: The Cubs cracked the code with the box game, catching teams on the break and scoring some brilliant goals while working the keeper!
๐
Playersโ Player: Toby โ chosen by Lucas for fearless defending and a positive attitude all game.
๐
Coachesโ Player: Lucas โ a true leader on the rink, never giving up and inspiring the team with positivity.
Sunday โ Under-16s Take on PGKA & T-Wrex
Four of our eight-player squad were U12s, but that didnโt stop them!
- Game 1 vs PGKA: End-to-end action and a nail-biting draw thanks to every player giving 100% and both netminders pulling off huge saves.
- Game 2 vs T-Wrex: Against one of the most experienced teams, our Cubs focused on defence, forcing outside shots and letting Lottie shine with big saves. T-Wrex took the W, but not without a fight โ our Cubs frustrated them by locking down the middle of the rink!
๐
Playersโ Player: Hallie โ picked by Lottie for fearless blocks (puck marks to prove it!) and leading by example in defence.
๐
Playersโ Player: Theo โ stepped up massively, applying lessons from Saturday and making things click on Sunday.
