Elmvale Home Building Centre Bantam AE team traveled to Collingwood
On Friday Oct.26th, the Elmvale Home Building
Centre Bantam AE team traveled to Collingwood to take on the first place
Collingwood Blackhawks. The large Collingwood ice surface allowed for
some wide open, end to end action.
Late in the first the Elmvale Coyotes would be the first team to find the back of the net when Charlie Flieger kept a puck in at the blue line and passed it to Alex Sweeney who found a wide open Jason Flury, alone in front of the net. Flury buried the chance and put the Elmvale Coyotes up 1-0. The second period saw both teams tighten up their defense. With far fewer chances by both teams it looked liked Elmvale was going to take their 1-0 lead to the intermission but with just 15 seconds left in the second, Elmvale could not hold off a pressing Collingwood team and the teams went to the change rooms tied at 1. The third had the Elmvale Coyotes looking for a single point on the road. This playing for the tie approach really limited their offensive chances and saw them stuck in their own end for extended amounts of time. The tired and depleted Elmvale Coyotes team would finally surrender a goal despite the heroic efforts of goaltender Tristen Chiasson, making the final 2-1 for the home Team Blackhawks. The Elmvale Home Building Centre Bantam AE team is back in action Halloween night when they make the trek to Midland to take on the rival Centennials. Next Home action for the Coyotes will be Nov. 3rd at 5:30pm at the Elmvale Arena, when they once again face the Collingwood Blackhawks.
