Division "C" Champions

Onaping Falls Huskies

Diego’s team won the Division “C” championship this past weekend. It was a miracle on ice so to speak. During the regular season they were 2 and 18…with the 2 wins coming in the last 3 games of the season. So they were going into the Playoffs as huge underdogs. You could tell that they were finally starting to click together when they won the 2 games and held their own when they played the first place team in the final game of the regular season…they lost of coarse but the spark was still there. Their first game on Friday was a lopsided 6-1 victory with the Huskies coming out on top…all the parents were ecstatic.

Their next game on Saturday was even more astonishing…it was a 7:30am game…hard fought. They won that game too 3-0…we couldn’t believe it. The third game which was only played three hours later was a 4-0 WIN!!! Damn the kids were on fire. Sunday at Noon was the toughest game yet. The game ended in a 3-3 tie. And we were in the finals but the problem was that the team we tied 3-3 was also in the finals with us. The First period was a nail biting experience…it ended 1-1…we all thought it was going to be a battle to the end. The Second period was not as scary though…we came out of there with a 3-1 lead going into the third. Could the kids pull it off after a season of nothing but defeat after defeat…well as the title says we could…3-1 with one minute left and the other team pulled their goalie…it was in our zone the whole minute and wham puck gets out and breakaway…goal…Champions!!!
It was a very emotional moment watching the kids crash their goalie at the buzzer…line up and receive their individual trophies and watch the kids parade around the ice with their team trophy. What a game, what a playoff. Every kid stepped up and became the team we all thought they were.

Congratulations Huskies
