Jan 24 Jr Flags vs Dresden Maroon
Gearing up for the Play downs

The Jr. Flags headed to Dresden to play the Maroon's early Saturday morning. The home team came out hard and caught us off guard scoring the 1st goal of the game. The Flags battled back and Dylan scored to even it up. Our 3rd line scored the second goal of the game with Christian getting one passed their net minder with an assist from Reed. Going into the second period, the Flags knew they had to work harder to get the puck passed Dresden's net minder who was looking better as the game progressed. The second line scored by Jace with and an assist from Ty and Matthew which gave us a two goal lead. Ten seconds later Dresden answered right back with a goal of their own. Both teams battled back and forth. The Flags kept to the game plan and Christian made a nice up the middle pass to Dylan who fired it passed their goalie. Two and a half minutes later Dylan on a breakaway scored again giving the Flags a 3 goal lead. The Maroon's kept coming on strong but Logan made some huge saves to deny and comeback in the 2nd period. The Flags would score two more goals before the 2nd period ended. Christian scored from a nice pass by Andrew and then on the next face off Dylan broke out and scored giving the team a 5 goal lead going into the third period.
The Maroon's were getting frustrated and started to play a more physical game. The Flags did not fall into this and kept to the game plan. With just 32 seconds in the third Ty would score a goal assisted by Jace and Ashtain. Dresden came back and scored a goal which Logan didn't have a chance as it went off two players before entering our net. The Maroons would score again within 10 seconds and close the gap to 4 goals. This must of put a spark into our Captain as he came out looking to score. Dylan came back and answered with two more goals. Then to finish them off, Dylan made a nice pass out to Hannah and she passed it to Connor who was in the perfect spot to score.
This was a team win. All the players worked hard moving the puck and playing position. The defense protected their goalie and blocked a lot of shots, while our goalie stood on his head and made some huge saves. This team has worked hard all year to get to the top and now this game has done just that. We are the team to beat, because we play as a team.
