The Gary Edgecombe CA Peewee Rep
Coyotes placed fourth in the Georgian Bay A Round Robin and have
earned one last chance to solve net minder Joshua Bernard and the
OMHA Finals bound Penetang Flames.
On Wednesday, March 5, The Penetang Flames came to Elmvale for their Georgian Bay Round Robin game. The Coyotes matched the Flames shot for shot and block for block in the first. Four minutes into the second, the Flames opened the scoring. The third period went downhill quickly with numerous penalties called against the Coyotes. The game ended in a 0-3 loss.
The Coyotes went into their last game in round robin play, tied with Midland in the standings. One goal against Collingwood in their final game would give them the edge over Midland, earning them a possible three game season extension against Penetang. Collingwood, first in the league, was well aware of Elmvale's desire for one goal and did their best to deny it. The Coyotes, missing three forwards, came out strong and ended the first period in a scoreless tie. The Collingwood Blackhawks, also OMHA finals bound, stuck to their game plan and wore down the Coyotes. The second period ended with the Blackhawks up by three. With one period left to extend their season, the Coyotes kept on pressing. Perseverance paid off when Jack Sneddon spun around in front of the Collinwood net and blindly shot the puck in. The celebration was as big as any this season. The game ended in a 1-5 loss for the Coyotes, but the boys were all smiles.
The Peewee Rep Coyotes staved off the end of the season for possibly three more games. This is their last chance to show Penetang what they are capable of. Watch the website for game times and come on out to watch.
