The Shelburne Wolves U15 LL team has improved a lot throughout the season, and their skill and determination have brought them to the league B championship.

The Wolves are up against the Osprey Hawks in the final best-of-three series. The team that wins two games, or gets to four points in the event of a tie, will be
the champs.

Game one of the series took place in Shelburne on Thursday, Mar. 23.

The Wolves took an early lead and stayed ahead for the rest of the game.

They were a tenacious squad on the ice with lots of good passing and setting up plays in front of the Osprey net. The Wolves were aggressive in the corners and in their forechecking for the entire duration of the game.

Their dedication to practice resulted in a solid performance on the ice.

At the end of the first game, the Wolves came out on top with a 7-4 win.

“I’ve been telling them all year, we skate hard at practice, and I skate them harder than any other team in the league,” said coach Jordan Beatty. “When it comes to these games, they’re ready to go. Tonight, they really came out to play right off the hop and scored 17 seconds in. Even a couple of goals the other team got were on a couple of bad bounces. I’m impressed with how they played tonight. I’m really proud of them. They just outworked them, they never gave up on any plays. Every time a puck went into a corner, if we didn’t come out with it we made sure we gave them trouble. They moved the puck well, and tried to find the open net. They did everything well tonight.”

Game two of the series got underway on Osprey home ice on Saturday, Mar. 25.

The series tied when the Osprey won game two 4-1.

This set up the series for a final showdown.

The final game was scheduled for Tuesday, Mar. 27, in the Osprey home barn with a 7:00 p.m. start.

The results of the game were not available at press time.
