Hockey Fights Cancer Tournament Game #2

12:00pm
Mount Clemens Ice Arena 1st 2nd 3rd Final
Flint Jr. Firebirds II 0     1 0 1
Troy Sting 1 1 1 1 1 1 1   1 1 9
After a surprising first outing as a team, the Flint Jr. Firebirds II team looked what you would expect a brand new start-up team to look like in today's game against the Troy Sting. They fell behind early in the game, giving up a goal less than a minute in. They played better for the next 9 minutes or so, keeping things close and generating some scoring chances before things fell apart at the end of the first. Four goals in the last 4 minutes of the period blew the game wide open, as the Firebirds fell apart. The first of those four goals was a power play goal as a result of Drew's tripping penalty. Unfortunately for Drew he was on the ice for the other five goals in the period.

The onslaught continued into the second period, as two more quick goals opened up a seven goal deficit for the Firebirds. The Firebirds finally answered with a goal of their own with a little over 10 minutes left in the second. Mercifully that was it for scoring in the period.

The third period wasn't any better for Firebirds parents and players, as they were kept off the scoreboard once again. The Sting added two more goals before it was over, sealing the 9-1 loss for the Firebirds.
