December 10, 2011 The Kent Valley Mite Tornadoes hosted the SnoKing Jr. T-Birds Green on home ice at the Kent Valley Ice Centre on Saturday, December 10th. However, something was dramatically different about this game! The cool, crisp nature of the arena was almost overpowered by the competitive air

2 that seemed to churn. As a result, it would turn out to be the Tornadoes best game so far this season! Even after the first face-off, the fierce competitiveness displayed by both teams was overtly apparent. In an almost poetic ebb and flow, the teams would swap possession multiple times throughout the battle. Although two penalties for roughing and body checking attempted to blemish a stellar first period, the Tornadoes were able to fend off both powerplay attempts. As the period closed, both teams were scoreless. When the 2nd period opened, the exhilarating battle for possession continued. However, at 7:44 on the clock, the Jr. Tbirds Green decided they d had enough and struck first, scoring on an assisted goal. Undeterred, the Tornadoes got to work and concentrated on their positional attacks. Within minutes, Aidan Herring(#14) tied it up by scoring a goal on a power-play, assisted by Jake Ferguson(#6). It was evident from the first two periods of play that this game was indeed different. The turbulent struggle continued well into the 3rd period as both teams fought for possession and tried to capitalize on penalty plays. Unfortunately, as the period closed, the Jr. T-Birds Green scored again to regain the lead and make the final goal of the game. In the end, the Kent Valley Mite Tornadoes lost a tough one at home to the SnoKing Jr. T- Birds Green in league play Saturday. The Jr. T-Birds Green defeated the Tornadoes by a final score of 2 to 1. It was an exciting match-up from start to finish! Ultimately, the Tornadoes had more shots on goal but were unable to convert these into scores on the board. First-time Tornadoes goalie Maxwell Mudge(#15) did an outstanding job by stopping 5 of 7 Jr. T-Bird Green s shots for an impressive 71% save rate. Way to go, Max! Congratulations to both teams on such a breathtaking game!

The True Meaning of Winning the Cup: "Winning it the first time, it was like a wave of emotions. A lifetime of dreams that started as a little kid, wishing for and imagining that moment one day when you would lift it over your head it was overwhelming. So emotional. Then, at the same time, there was just this huge sense of relief. Just a gigantic release in realizing that you accomplished a goal that you had set for yourself so long ago. It s like the greatest dream come true, it really is. I was blessed to have won three of them, so each one was special and unique in its own way.
