PeeWee A team plays in Saint John tournament
by posted 12/30/2008

Saint John, New Brunswick hosted their 41st Annual Christmas Tournament, and NYH celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first tournament visit.
 
The 2008/2009 addition of the PeeWee A team made Needham proud by advancing to the semi-finals by winning 3 of 4 in the preliminary round.

  • 6 to 1 win vs KV Sabres
  • 2 to 1 win vs Hampton Huskies
  • 3 to 2 loss vs Lancaster Thunder
  • 7 to 4 win vs Fredicton Ice Dogs 
The Rockets fell in the semi-final to the host Saint John team 4 to 2. The game was tied with 5:53 left in the third period before two late goals by Saint John sealed the win.

The Rockets demonstrated great skating ability, hustle, and heart having to travel 9 hours on a bus to Saint John and then playing 5 games in less than 48 hours.

Unfortunately the team was not able to duplicate the  championship run of last year's PW A team, but still had an outstanding tournament.

The clock is already ticking for next year's return trip.
