Comments:

Thanks to the Mite B team for playing us.  It was a fun game.  We lost Caroline to the Mite B's, but picked up her sister, Danielle, who did a great job on the wing.  Great hustle and good play all round for this game by all. Margaret skated hard on both offense and defense.  Hannah made a ton of great defensive plays.  Maddie came up with a hat trick and gave it her all for the whole game and had her defense debut.  Callan got her birthday goal on a rebound from a shot by Maddie and showed great hustle in following in the shooter - way to be there, Callan!  Haley made a lot of great saves.   Little Mac popped in a shot off Rachel and got her second goal.   Rachel had an assist and set up her team mates all morning.  The whole team played their positions well and did their best.  Everyone got a chance to play different positions - Coach Mike is still reeling from the line changes!  Great job, girls!

Excellent effort all round, girls! Months ago the score was 11 to 0 for Walpole, and our season improvement showed through in this game when we were within 1 goal most of the game until the third period. Keep up the good work!

Great game! We played a U12 team and kept up with them very well, although a bit intimated by size. Kyleigh got the goal for us on an assist by Madison Tasha. We had a 2 player advantage at one point and although we shot and shot, we could not get past the MV goalie, who played a terrific game. We're looking forward to the playoffs! Great work, girls.

It was back and forth goals and end to end action in the Falmouth Pride girls'
U10 game against Walpole U10 on Sunday, January 14th at Falmouth Ice Arena, that
ended in a 7 to 7 tie.


Kelly Ferreira opened the score for the Pride in the first period by putting a
shot in from the wide right side with an assist from defensive player, Kendall
Stouffer.  Walpole came right back a minute and a half later with an unassisted
goal from Shannon McCafferty and Jenna Donahue scored a second unassisted goal for Walpole
at 2:56 in the first period. 

The Pride were right back in the game in the second with a goal by winger
Madison Haberl at 9:50 on an assist from Kyleigh Good.  The Pride defense of
Marissa Anderson, Hannah Ghelfi, Rachel Walman, Sidney Minnehan, Victoria
Putnam, and Kendall Stouffer, held Walpole from scoring in the second period and
goalie Haley Schorer made a couple of great saves in the second to hold Walpole.
The Falmouth girls kept the pressure on in the second period with back-checking
help from forwards Callan Small, Sarah Walman, Casey Eustis, and Hope Blanchard.  The Pride
goals kept coming in the second with two more goals from Kyleigh Good on an
assist from Hannah Ghelfi, and a break away goal from the line of of Margaret
Palmer, Emily Moynihan and Elizabeth Palmer, with Margaret Palmer breaking away
free in the neutral zone and a low shot to the far left corner. 

The Pride U10s were up 4 to 2 at the start of the third period, and Kendall
Stouffer put in the Pride's fifth goal at 15:45 on a short pass from Madison
Tasha.  Walpole was not about to give up, however, and Victoria O'Heir and Jenna
Donahue put in two quick qoals in the third at 11:58 and 10:54 to bring the
score to 5 to 4 for the Pride.  Falmouth's Madison Tasha made it a 6 to 4 game
at 8:45 in the third with a hard low shot on an assist from winger Mackenzie
"Little Mac" Haberl.  Walpole came back with two more goals from Jenna Donahue and
Olivia Knight and tied up the game 6 to 6.  Kelly Ferreira popped in the Pride's
7th goal with just 25 seconds left in the game for the Pride lead.  Not to be
outdone, Walpole kept digging and Olivia Knight came up with a 7th goal after a
scramble in front of the Pride net with just 5 seconds left in the game. 

It was a great effort overall for the Falmouth Pride U10s and the Walpole U10 team, who both
play in the Bay State Girls Hockey League.

Great way to end 2006! Excellent game all round in passing, defense, wingers, it was just great! Little Mac got her first goal, it was just fantastic, she was right at the far post. Maddie threw it over to her and she put it on net, there was a save and she put in the rebound!! All the girls mobbed her! We moved Rachel up to wing so Callan would single-shift, and Rachel scored the same way, top corner. Maddie rounded out the U10 scoring with a goal. Kyleigh got one and Kelly the other, for a 5-2 win. We had so many hit the post, or go through the crease. We kept the puck in their end of the ice for the first 10 minutes of the game, once Madison scored they let up and gave up two pretty quick. But, we tuned them up before the second period and they played like crazy! Marissa may have faced 10 shots, including a couple of breakaways that she stopped cold.

Excellent effort. See you Saturday at Skills!

Coach Laura and Coach Tim.

Cranberry Classic Tournament November 25-27, 2006

Thank you very much for your daughter’s participation in this tournament!  It was a lot of fun, and we saw the results of what would normally be a month’s worth of games in 3 days. 

Friday’s game was a good start with the Cape Cod Waves.  Madison Haberl scored her first goal and we had a bench clearing scene in celebration!  Saturday saw a couple of losses to the East Coast Wizards and the Eastern Connecticut Girls Hockey Club that proved to be a great learning experience for the U10s as they came out for Sunday’s game like a new team with lots of improvement. 

Sunday’s game was the highlight with the girls playing the best they ever had.  Haley was in net (pictured right) for games 2 – 4 and was all heart out there doing an outstanding job. Marissa played a great game in net for game 1 for us against the Waves. Little Mac (or Big Mac, as Coach Mike calls her) was just inches away from a goal, Maddie Haberl put her second goal in on Sunday, Elizabeth was ooooooooooohhhhh so close, Caroline set up a goal beautifully and skated her heart out, Margaret dug and dug and dug for the puck, Rachel played outstanding D, Victoria stepped up and up and up, Sydney played the best positional play of her young career!  Callan was all effort all weekend and did a good job coaching the girls on backchecking, Emily went to the puck over and over , Hope had a bunch of great passes, Tasha guarded that D at the point and played her position well – all great stuff!    Congratulations, girls.  For most of you this was your first tournament and you had a great time, which is most important, and you showed terrific improvement over the weekend.   Thank you to Coach Tim and Mike for all your work, too.

Comments:

All round a terrific game! We were winners at a lot of things - shooting the puck more, passing and playmaking were most obvious improvements. Haley was stellar in net stopping many shots and covering up the puck very well. Our line of Madison T., Kelly and Casey did a great job putting one in the net on the first shift to set the pace for the game - nice work, girls!  Madison H., Callan and Rachel were outstanding at putting the puck on the net and playing their positions. Margaret, Emily and Elizabeth kept backchecking and digging for their goal - Margaret's first of the season - way to go, Margaret! Hope and Mackenzie and centers, Madison H., Callan and Rachel, kept on going when we needed them and did a great job. Our defense worked hard and Hannah was outstanding on D - stepping up when needed and setting up offense especially. Victoria did exceptionally well at playing the line and getting back - Caroline skated the hardest I have ever seen her!  Tasha, Marissa, Sidney, Madison T., Kyleigh, Casey, and Kendall all did a great job on defense.   Everyone played great, which makes us winners - it was a fun game all-round.

The entire team deserves the stars on this one. Everyone played their best, which is what it is all about - win or lose!  Positions were played well, defense was exceptional, offense had lots of shots, and Marissa was due this one in net for her hard work.  Maddie Tasha led the scoring with a beautiful break away goal and followed up with one more goal, and Kyleigh popped in two for the Pride.  Great job all-round, girls and a terrific way to start the regular season play!  Coach Laura

A good effort on our part in this game. Marissa stopped a number of key shots and kept us in the game. Our girls played much better offensively and Kyleigh was unstoppable on offense with 2 goals. Our defense got caught a few times, but overall played a good game. Mac was in the corners and on the boards digging away against girls 3 times her size - great effort Mackenzie! Good work by the whole team. Keep it up!

Comments:

We are improving every game and we need to keep up the good work in clearing the zone, being cautious on defense and working offensively to move to the open spaces instead of all moving to the puck on offense. Tasha did an outstanding job in goal and we thank her for her efforts and contribution. We know what our goals are as a team, and we will get there! Keep up the smiles and good work! Coach Laura

Lots of improvement in this game from the last one, with better movement of the puck up the ice and defensive coverage and positioning. Our forwards are learning to move the puck up the ice and dumping it in to the offensive zone and chasing it down. Our defense is improving steadily on playing together and not getting caught out of position.  We will continue to improve as we work on our skills and playmaking.  Keep up the hard work everyone and continue to enjoy the game!  Coach Laura

Great First Game U10s!  The score did not reflect at all the good match for these two teams.  A combination of our first game "jitters", our goalie's first game in net (who did an outstanding job, by the way), and the Waves having 1 very strong player who scored 4 goals, brought the score where it is.  Our forwards worked hard to move the puck up the ice and we had some great chances.  Our defense got caught off guard a couple of times and were not able to get back, but overall defense showed good efforts all-round.  The girls showed a lot of potential, and things are only going to get better from here!  Great job everyone!
