Game Recap
New Year's Resolution Jamboree @ Ice Works. Aston PA
"Light the Lamp" was the predominant theme for this jamboree!  Once these U-Can players put on those red sweaters and took to the ice, it was all business. Personal achievements were made during the 5 games played.  The banter on the bench was great.  If a player scored a goal, she immediately skated to the bench to acknowledge the goal but more importantly who assisted her:)  Break out passes were a plenty, backchecking & forechecking meant the players could get the puck and make a shot on net.

There was no shortage of goalies who counted how many pucks they saved and no shortage of ways to defend the net, one hand or two hands on the stick, dropping to the butterfly, standing & tracking the puck to make cat-like attempted saves.

M. Heavens made 7 saves in Game 1, E Lemieux had 15 saves and some excellent puck stops in Game 2, A Fox put the pads on for the first time for Game 3 & made 7 saves, D Stephenson had 12 saves in Game 4 and S Jaoudeh to subsequently make 5 saves.

Chemistry was evident with the M3 line (M Richards,  M Heavens & M McHugh) and the AE line (A Fox & E Lemieux).  Sportswomanship was consistent from D Stephenson making sure her teammates were ok and S Jaoudeh working hard to skate & track the puck.

Highlight specifics include Game 1:  E Lemieux getting a goal with an assist from A Fox because of their hard work tracking the puck. M Richards making a breakout pass to 

M McHugh who skated hard out of the fray & scored.

Game 2 was a big breakthrough for several of our U-Can players. M Richards earned a ""hatty"" +1 and play maker with two of the goals unassisted.  Her offensive partners A Fox got a goal & 2 assists while M McHugh also got 2 goals & 2 assists.  One of 

M McHugh's goal was assisted by S Jaoudeh who bounced the puck off the boards to advance it forward.

Game 3 had D. Stephenson blocking a shot & helping her goalie to prevent a goal.  

E. Lemieux starting a nice breakout along with M Heavens getting to the puck and going to the net for shot on goal.

After a well-deserved snack break, Game 4 had M Heavens skating hard along with her teammates to showcase the fundamentals of breaking out of their zone, passing to advance the puck and driving to the net for scoring opportunities.  

The final game reflected how far these players have come since September.  The girls skated, strategized & forechecked to get possession of that puck.  These actions resulted in a turnover from the opposing team due to A Fox and E Lemieux working together which resulted in a goal and an assist!

Great day of hockey and another commemorative patched well earned!!!
