Cougars Mites 7 - Long Beach Jr. Ice Dogs 9
Novemeber 27, 2005
Our third and final game in this tournament was played early Sunday morning against the Long Beach Jr. Ice Dogs. The game started well. Garan scored our first goal three minutes to the game. Despite the strong efforts in our defense, the Dogs managed to break through and score three goals during the last two minutes of this period. The Dogs had a very well planned offensive tactic that was hard for us to nail. The score was 1 - 3 in their favor.

Early the second period the Dogs scored their fourth goal, but we quickly responded by scoring our second goal (Garan from Will and Sebastian) and just 40 seconds later our third goal (Garan from Justin and Sebastian). The score was now 3 - 4 in their favor. Unfortunately the Dogs managed to increase the goal difference by three goals before we scored again. Our fourth goal was scored by Garan and our fifth one by Kaz from an assist by Tyler. Garan got a tripping penalty and the Dogs scored from power play their eight goal.

In the third period we scored our sixth goal (who scored this one?) and Vanny sat a 2 minutes penalty before he scored our seventh goal.

This was a great game and according to the coaches the best game we played. The players of the game are Garan (he earned a hat trick), Joseph and Will. There were so many great performances in this game that it is hard to keep track of them. Dustin skated fast, hustled hard and was making great moves. Joseph's stickhandling has improved a lot and he takes easily the puck away from the opponent. Tyler has been playing great in defense in our last games.

(Please note that I've not seen the scoresheets of the tournament games, so some of the assist are missing. If I get the scoresheets, I will make updates later.)
