Our U15A team skated to a hard fought 3-1 victory over the host Cumberland Jr Grads team in the Capital Volunteer Cup finals last Sunday (Oct 27). The game was scoreless until Esa Hazl (assisted by Eric Wellhauser and Will Hillen) finally solved the Grads' goaltender at 1:58 into the second period. Unfortunately, Cumberland struck back quickly to tie the game. Will Hillen (assisted by Jackson Murdock and Connor Metzloff) scored the eventual game winner on a great shot just inside the post at 9:50 in the second period. Our Gryphons locked down for the third period and were rewarded with an empty net goal by Holden Roffel (unassisted) with 53 seconds left in the game.
Our U15A team were worthy champions, only letting in 5 goals in 5 tournament games. A big thank you to all our players who played together as a team, our coaches and our parents for a really fun weekend in Ottawa.
