Unsung Heroes

The Wings played their most competitive game of the season this past weekend against the sled stars, but came through with a 6-2 victory because of a great team effort and unsung heroes. Issiah Beck scored three goals as well as Athan Blaine to provide the team with offense. Jess Shaw helped the power the offense with two assists. Way to go. The team needed these contributions because we were missing quite a few weapons including Ray Beck and the team's leading goal scorer Mike Wilson. The defense was also missing several key components including Matt Valentine and goalie Glenn Schulz. Great games by Ryan Neiderkorn, Athan Blaine and goalie Danny Wheeler helped make up for their absence.

The offense took time to get going, having less than five shots in the first two periods combined. However the defense kept the team in the game by only allowing two goals. The Wings went into the third period down 2-1. In the third period Blaine and Beck went on a tear and did not look back scoring five goals in the period. Way to go everyone. Keep up the hard work.
