Bantam team named all stars in Powell River
Alberni Valley Times -Published: Friday, April 13, 2012
Port Alberni’s Bantam hockey team came back all-stars from the Powell River Bantam tournament last weekend.
The young team fought hard all weekend, but the final game was a real nail-bitter. The Alberni Valley was behind 3-0 with 7: 38 left in the second period. Logan Henson scored with assists by Ryan Rae-Arthur and Nick Ross to start the comeback.
At 17: 30 in the third period, Brittney Savard scored the second goal, with assist by Carson Nicholson
The tying goal was scored by Jakob Gitelman, with assists awarded to Kayden Terryberry and Nick Ross at 9: 07 in the third period. The winning goal was scored by Logan Henson, with 1: 37 left in the game.
Brayden Ward held off the continuous shots fired at him in goal in the last 90 seconds, while Alberni Valley was killing off a penalty and Powell River pulled their goalie so it was six-on-four.
It was an exciting end to the tournament for the players, fans and family who made the trip to Powell River.
“Fun was had by all throughout the weekend,” explained team manager Anu Ward, “and with the whole team effort to pull off two wins, one tie and one loss to give them the final game.”
The team is made up of Michael Addy, Tyler Drew-Adams, Rylan Cole, Carson Nicholson, Tyler Mercer, Shelby Clydes-dale, Brittney Savard, Nick Ross, Jakob Gitelman, Brayden Ward, Kayden Terryberry, Ryan Rae-Arthur, Logan Henson, Griffin Dolling, Alex Cochrane, Nick Vincent and Chase Henstridge. They are coached by Rob Cole and Mark Addy.
The most valuable players for games one through five were Carson Nicholson, Nick Ross, Brayden Ward, Shelby Clydesdale and Logan Henson.
