BANTAM LL HAS A VERY STRONG OUTING IN BRADFORD
February 2-4 the Bantam LL Predators mad the 3.5 hour trip to play in the Bradford Gold and Blue tournament.

The first game was a tough match up with Hanover.  The Preds took it to them outplaying them, but just couldn't score and fell 1-0.  2nd game was no easier when they faced the Mariposa Lightning.  In a game that had the play in our end most of the game we survived a tight game 3-2 win.  The last game of round robin play had us against the Langton Leafs.  This team was undefeated going into the game with us.  The game had many penalties which the Preds took advantage of scoring 2 power play goals winning the game 2-1.  Semi-final was against a tough bantam major West London Hawks.  Scoring early didn't prove to be enough as the Hawks tied up the game sending it to 4-4 OT.  after 3 minutes it went to 3 on 3.  After another 3 minutes 2 on 2....  Then finally 1 on 1.  During the 4th OT of 1 on 1 a shot unfortunately found the back of the Preds net, sending the Haws to the finals.

The weekend was filled with lots of great hockey.  Great effort, teamwork and commitment to a plan.  So many great memories on and off the ice.  "I couldn't be more prouder of these boys.  They left everything out on the ice and that's all we can ask for as coaches" says Head Coach Shawn Dickey.  If the Preds play like this this they will see success in the playoffs the upcoming weeks.  Great Job in representing LSMHA, Keep up the great work.
