Edmonton Minor Hockey Week: The Final Game

Tons of cheering going on today from the large crowds of people at Terwillegar Rec Centre as Edmonton Minor Hockey Week comes to a close. Blood, sweat and a hell of a lot of tears for many teams coming out of their dressing room after the game.

North Seera Hitmen, one of the top teams in the Bantam(2) division, made it this far to the finals only to let the gold medal slip away from their fingertips.

Trailing 2-0 in the first period to the Eagles, North Seera’s forward, Bryan Nguyen scored the opening goal for Seera, closing the gap, 2-1. Seconds later, Eagles were once again, up two goals. Going into the third with a score of 3-2 for the Eagles, North Seera Hitmen’s assistant captain, Nolan Svendsen scored the second goal for Seera, but despite their last minute push to try and tie the game, they came up short and ended up taking home silver at this year’s Minor Hockey Week instead.

A disappointing loss, but most certainly a memorable trip to the finals.

Great job to all teams who participated in EMHW 2012 and congratulations to all of the winning teams.
