This Jamboree set of games was a turning point for our team because the players have begun to get their ""hockey chops & grit"". All of the coaches were impressed with the progress each and every player made.

In Game 1, C. Connors made 4 saves in goal with huge smiles on her face. M. Waibel & M. Noga each scored a goal with hard work getting out of their zone and into position to shoot on net. B. IIg made a wrap-around shot attempt with M. Montagna crashing the net. G. Pinegar was always moving to get herself in position to support the puck as was T. Medina and R. IIg

Game 2 was notable because M. Montagna had 11 saves in goal and B. IIg had a ""saucy"" shot on goal while hustling to backcheck the entire game. R. IIG & C. Connors worked hard to get to and crash the net to prevent any goals from going in. M. Noga was 100% ready to go each shift because she loved playing in her first tournament with her new teammates.

Game 3 saw T. Medina make 7 amazing saves working hard to track the puck and prevent any rebounds despite having a lot of traffic in front of & around her. C. Connors showed excellent defensive play while Maddie M. and Maddie W. displayed great backchecking to prevent goals from going in. G. Pinegar worked hard tracking the puck in order to get into an offensive or defensive position.

Game 4 opened up with G. Pinegar in net, making 7 excellent saves against a team swarming all around her. The players had renewed energy coming off of the break and showed the staff how much grit they really have. M. Waibel double-deeked to score a goal, assisted by R. IIG and M. Noga. T. Medina's defensive play was excellent and relentless which helped her goalie out so much. B. IIG continued to skate hard getting control of the puck and head to the opponents' net or backchecking to make sure to help her goalie out.

Finally, Game 5 would test our players because their opponents were fast and furious, pelting our goalies M. Montagna and T Medina with shots. M. Montagna had 5 hard-earned saves before leaving the game . T. Medina had an excellent breakout to M. Noga with R. IIG and C. Connors in position to receive the pass and then stepped in net & stood tall until the last second. M. Waibel efforts to help her teammates out by working hard on both ends of the ice did not go unnoticed.
