Norwich Knighthawks Modern Trends Novice LL Team Start their Season!
The Norwich Knighthawks Modern Trends Novice Local League
Team had a busy start to their season. Under the coaching staff of Jamie Davis
and Scott Sprague, trainer Wayne Samways and manager Blair Couwenberg the team
travelled to Langton on Saturday, October 14 to take on the Langton Leafs in
their season opener.
The Leafs kept goalie Josiah Koncir busy. Our offensive lines Ian Sprague, Zac Martin, Tanner Master, Logan Davis, Breanna Wood, Cayden Vandamme, Carter Feyen, Dylan Ratelle and Van McAllister tried to make something happen but were shut down by the Leafs. Koncir supported by his defense Claire McKie, Kohen Mann, Kirsten Samways, Zac McFarland, Ethan Wills and Justyn Ladd worked hard against the powerful Leafs team.
The Knighthawks regrouped at practice Sunday and headed to Ingersoll on Monday, October 16 full of determination. Master started the game off by winning the opening face-off. Six minutes into the second period Davis assisted by Master and Wood scored the Knighthawks first goal! And with less than a minute left in the second period Davis assisted by Master brought them ahead of Ingersoll 2-1. The Ingersoll Express fought back hard slipping one past Koncir to tie it up with less than thirteen seconds left in the second period. With the offence working hard in the third to tie it up and the defense trying to hold the Express off the Knighthawks left Ingersoll with a 2-4 loss. The Knighthawks have their first home game Sunday, October 22 against the Six Nations Blackhawks. Go Knighthawks Go!
