Wings Fall Just Short

The Wings fell just short once again in their season home opener against Woodbridge on September 19th. The game began similar to last week with the Wings coming out "sleeping." They were down 3-0 at the end of the first period. In the second period the offense began to show signs of life when Athan scored on a rebound from Michael's shot. Wilson then scored one of his own However, Woodbridge got another goal in the second so it was 4-2 going into the third period. During the beginning of the third period the younger players went out and played hard and took momentum thanks to great hustle by Andrew and Jessica. The older players went back in and with approximately five minutes left in the game Ryan scored his first sled hockey goal ever and made it 4-3. With a minute and a half left the Wings pulled their goaltender and put in an extra attacker. Although the Wings put tons of offensive pressure on with the extra attacker they were unable to score. The game ended in a 4-3 loss for the Wings.

Wings of Steel Opener Unsuccessful

Today, the Virtua Wings of Steel opened their season against rivals, the Woodbridge Warriors. After a summer without any games, the Wings started out "rusty." With the start of the second period, came the awakening of the drive that pushes the players to their max. The first Wings goal of the game was scored by #6 Athan Blaine followed up by another goal scored by #20 Michael Wilson. The Wings fell short, though with Woodbridge coming up with 4 goals. Even though faced with a tough game, the players especially the younger players (Garrett, Robert, Steve and Paul) played well. They had amazing positioning! With the addition of our new goalie, Steve, we are definitely a force to be reckoned with this season!
