Congratulations to the BH Blazers who took NS by storm. Read the full report by Head Coach, Bryan Williams.
The BH Blazers travelled to Nova Scotia this past weekend for the King’s-Edgehill School “Birthplace of Hockey” Tournament. The Blazers played well throughout the tournament, remaining undefeated through some stiff competition. The team also had the chance to tour Acadia University with some BH Alums who now attend school there. A description of the final game is also listed below.
The BH Blazers played the tournament final vs. Nova Scotia’s Provincial Champs, Cobequid Education Centre (CEC). The Blazers came out strong and scored first, when Kayla Karbonik scored an early goal. CEC battled hard and pushed back but the Blazers were strong through the end of the period and held the lead 1-0 after 1 period. The second period was a different story, with CEC holding the edge of play, until Blazers Tess Bracken found a way to put the Blazers up 2-0. The two goal lead was short-lived as CEC continued to press and scored halfway through the period to make the score 2-1. As the third period began, the Blazers vowed to hold the lead and bring home the title, but with 6 minutes left, and a slim 2-1 lead, the Blazers took two penalties 30 seconds apart. A 5 on 3 advantage for CEC for over a minute and a half threatened to spoil the party for the Blazers.
But an incredible penalty kill by the Blazers lead to a Blazers goal immediately following the penalties, as Tess Bracken scored with 2:30 left in the game to seal the deal. The Blazers scored once more with 6 seconds left, Allison Sexton scored a very nice goal, leaving only the celebration to go!
