Wings Pull Out a 4-1 Win Against Woodbridge

The Wings of Steel led an impressive game against Woodbridge on Saturday 10/23. Quickly within the first period both Isaiah Beck and Michael Wilson scored two consecutive goals bringing the score to 2-0. Woodbridge, though, came back in the second with a goal. With fire in their eyes, the Wings were able to score another goal that period. The defenses as well as our excellent goalies were able to block most of Woodbridge’s shots and keep the puck out of our zone for most of the game. All the Wings players played an amazing game! Good job guys! Keep up the good work!

Over 500 for the First Time This Season

The Wings made it three straight wins with a win over Delaware on Sunday. There was a competition on the bench as Athan and DJ had a countdown match of who could be louder in order to energize the team. It worked. The offense was on fire once again. It was an all around team effort with multiple players scoring. Buddha Man had a weekend hatrick as he scored one of the four Wings goals on Sunday. The offense was backed by solid defense. The defense allowed less than ten shots and most of the game was played in Delaware's zone. When the Snipers did get a shot the goalies were there to deny them. Great job by Steve and Glenn, both of whom posted a shutout. The younger kids gave great effort and hustle. Way to go. Keep up the great work Wings.

Wings Add Another Win to Their Playbook

On Saturday October 2nd, the Wings of Steel traveled to Vineland, NJ to play against the Vineland Sled Stars. Quickly within the first period, Michael "Buddha Man" Mauger scored a goal putting the Wings in the lead. After an intense first period due to Vineland tying it up, Buddha Man, assisted by Athan Blaine, scored again 56 seconds into the second bringing the score to 2-1. In the third period, Jessie Beck had 2 goals bringing the final score to 4-1. A great game was played by all, especially by Garret, Steve, Robert, Paul and Drew. Great job you guys! Your really improving! Also, both goalies, Glenn and Danny, were on top of their game and played well. Good job!

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!
