Tyke B Jr. Gryphons...You Made Us Proud!!!
The Tyke B Jr. Gryphons finished their playoffs last night losing 3-2 to the Ancaster Avalanche. Despite the loss, the Gryphons had won 3 out of their last 4 playoff games! 

It was an impressive come back as the Tyke B Gryphons tried to tie up the final game of the season in the last few minutes of the game. In the 1st period the Jr. Gryphons tried to keep the Ancaster Avalanche out of the Gryphon end but unfortunately allowing 3 goals starting the 2nd period with a 0-3 deficit. The Gryphons turned on the heat in the 2nd period when Ayden Lamorea scored a beautiful goal off a pass from Andrew Brown and also assisted by Aiden Wamboldt. The Gryphons did not allow the Avalanche to score any goals in the 2nd determined to tie up the game or come back and take the win. In the 3rd period the Gryphons kept the pace going when Colin Chate scored a great goal battling his way through the Avalanche defence assisted by Jake Annis and Nash Willsie. With only 2 mins left in the 3rd, the Gryphons pulled their goalie to try and tie up the game but could not get the puck past the opposition's defence. It was a great effort by the Gryphons to battle back to end the game with a 3-2 loss. Great scoring opportunities where made by Avery Smith, Tyler Kelly, Nick Clayton, Jonathan Berthiaume, Cole Gibson, Parker White, Royce Lin, and Austyn Lamorea. A special shout out goes to Anderson Mau who had a shut out and Trenton Goode who made a number of great saves!!!
