Double Celebration For Saint Peewee Blue Team In Massachusetts

Shaking off those dreaded “car legs” the Blues opened tournament play with a win. Following the game players and their families helped Coach Jason Briggs celebrate his birthday with a family style dinner. In the morning the Saints played a tough game vs the Maine Lightning as they skated to a 0-0 tie. The afternoon saw the Saints skate against the Demons. The team put in a great effort on offense, defense and special teams to roll to a 5-0 victory. The Blues fell behind early in game three 1-0 but with a birth in the Championship game looming the team turned it up a notch coming back to knot the game 2-2 heading into the third period. With around 5:00 minutes left to play Kyle Peters found the back of the net solidifying their place in the Championship Game. The Championship game was a close exciting affair with the Maine Lighting holding a 1-0 lead into the third period. In the end the Lighting prevailed in the Championship game. It was a special weekend of youth hockey with the addition of a milestone birthday celebration shared by the players, coaches and families. A good time was had by all. The Blue team currently leads their NJYHL league division in win percentage (.818) at 8-1-2.
