Shelburne Legion Tyke 2 end the regular season with an awesome game

March 5, 2014 · 0 Comments

Shelburne Tyke 2 have been very busy this past wintery month. From the North, Shelburne usually gets driving snow. What Shelburne Legion Tyke 2 got were some skilled Tykes from Dundalk and Georgian Shores who would drive to the net!

During the game in Dundalk, there was a flurry of shots, passes, saves and rushes. Highlights were good clean play and Abigail Abbott getting her first career goal. Shelburne wins 4-2.

Then, like relentless squalls, a series of four games against the Tykes from Georgian Shores Meaford began.

In game 1, Shelburne, like a plow, got out in front and stayed there, clearing the way to victory against Georgian Shores Tyke 1. Shelburne’s Ayrton Pomeroy scored a goal and if the team wasn’t scoring, they were assisting each other; Zachary Baird and Adam Roper each with a goal and an assist. Shelburne wins 3-0 and the shut out goes to Mason Burke.

In game 2, Georgian Shores Tyke 2 seemed to be driving the plow and tying up the lanes. But Shelburne didn’t give up. The players put on the wipers, focussed and came back to win 6–4.

In game 3, Shelburne Tyke 2 traveled North. Hungry for victory, Shelburne was beat in a hard fought battle. But, like any good team does, they learn and play better at the next opportunity.

In the last game, the skies outside were clear and cold but a fire was lit under Shelburne. Coach Chris Pomeroy hoped for the players that they would all have their best game. And that they did, both offensively and defensively. Vanessa Barry forced numerous turn overs and assisted a goal. Aiden Alonso played defense but saw open ice and scored on a break away. Dillion Adams-Lane had two assists. Mason Burke, Keegan Iusi and Mason Osmond were on defense and would not let Georgian shores put out the fire. Winger Erik Thalenhorst kept digging for the puck and blocked a shot headed for an open net. Callum Stevenson had some hard slap shots. The dynamic offensive duo of Adam Roper and Zachary Baird struck again this game. This great teamwork led to six goals and a shut out for Ayrton Pomeroy who entertained the crowd with some fantastic saves.

That is the end of the regular season for this Shelburne Legion Tyke 2. Thank you to our coaches Chris Pomeroy and Norm Burke, Parent helper Dean Baird, Trainer Mario Iusi, Parent Rep Yens Thalenhorst and GM Bernadette Pomeroy for supporting a team that played with passion and determination throughout the season.
