Paxton Burnie was a technician of the tangled twine between the pipes; Tucker McLean was a rock between the pipes. Max, Cohen and Klarke were moving their feet and pursuing the puck. Kale and Cole kept their heads up and passes crisp. Ewan, Chase, and Gavin kept the puck moving and back checked aggressively as wingers. Tanin, Hudson, Adam, and Graeme defended the zone showing a willingness to move the puck and shut down many potent offensive talents.
