The Elmvale Foodland Tyke 4’s are winding up their season with every player on the team scoring at least one goal and 2 strong performances in tournaments.
On February 22nd the Tyke 4’s travelled to Colborne for the first tournament of the year. It was an exciting weekend for the players because for many of them this was their first ever tournament. The players were not only excited to play hockey but to play in the awesome pool and splash park at the hotel.
The team came out of the tournament with 2 wins and a loss and the title of C Division Champions. Some highlights of the weekend include hat tricks by Rylan S., Charlie H. and Cohen S, Preston F. scoring his first goal of the season in the championship game and Joel T. and Mitchell H. (who had already sniped goals earlier in the season) working hard on defensive play. The fans were ecstatic when Grayson A. scored not only his first but also his second goal of the season.
The following weekend the team participated in the local Coldwater tournament. The boys played hard but came up short in their first game. They managed to pull out a win in the second game but lost in their Division finals. Lukas M. really stepped up for the team playing in net for 2 of the 3 games. He stood on his head and made some excellent saves! The highlight reel would also show a sweet goal by Edward M., hustling by AP’ed player Hunter S. and Brendan H. scoring his first goal.
Kyson O. was the team’s final player to score a goal and he managed to get not one but two goals passed the Elmvale Tyke 2’s goalie in regular season play last week.
Coaching staff Shane Hall, Rick Hales & Cullen Fay are proud of all of the players on their team and the improvements everyone has made throughout the season. Go Coyotes Go!!!
