Minor Bantams knocked out of Playoffs by Waterloo
Cornel Felder, played outstanding in both games for his team this weekend vs Waterloo. We went into Waterloo and lost a very close game 2-1 with one minute left on the clock they scored their second goal. The boys efforts was solid we just didn't put the puck in the net when we had our chances. Our second game we lost 4-0 at home in a game that seemed much closer than the score. We had our chances and didn't score they had their chances and did score. I would like to say that this coaching staff was very impressed with the way this team showed improved discipline through the playoffs allowing us to be in every game to the end. I would also like to say that this group of boys was written off from the very start of the season and that week by week they grew into a team that could compete and win over the last two months. We started with nine new players and had to add a goalie part way through the season. We were shorthanded the whole season with little help when we needed players. We had natural forwards playing defence and defencman who started playing forward. We gave up allot of size compaired to the other teams who's players have been together for many years with little if any turnover of players from year to year. In the end we found a way to compete against all the teams who destoyed us at the start of the season and even beat a few of them. I am very proud of this group of underdog players and I would be honoured if asked to coach them again. If I'm not asked I would like to thank the parents for all the efforts you put forth bringing the boys to the rink. To the Boys I am very proud of how you have grown this year!!!
Sincerly, David C.
