Mite 2 (Gardner League) PAT 0 Ash-West 5

This is a Mite team that just doesn't give up. Each week they are looking stronger and improving in all skill areas. Hunter Newsham, Rowan Halloran and Joey Sheridan skated like lightning. The game was a thrilling offensive show with PAT's McKayla Briggs, Matthew McCarthy, and Kelty Delaney just missing on several chances. Ash-West's goalie "Brianna" was on her game while PAT's goalie Jarrod Dusseault was spectacular in his first time in net. Declan Delaney and Joshua Joy were awesome defenders breaking up Ash-West play after play. Ryan Archibald and Griffin Delaney were passing geniuses getting the whole team involved in the offense.
