Girls prevail in pee wee battle

The HHS Drilling and Blasting Sooke Thunderbirds Peewee boys’ C team was charged up for a Halloween face off with the Sooke Thunderbirds Peewee A girls team. With end-to-end penalty-free action the boys played hard to the end. Both goalies for the boys’ team, Bryan Wickheim and Taylor Haisell shone in robbing the girls’ team of many breakaway opportunities

Peewee boys forwards Marco Carello and Ayden Ostropolski skillfully stickhandled their way to four goals between them in the first two periods. Dominic Lacroix was a dominant force for the boy’s team and yielded an assist on the boys’ fourth goal. Josh Watson quickly added the boys’ fifth goal in the first minute of the third period tying the game at 5.

On the boys defence, Sheldon Kelly and Jared Purdy showed their tenacity by robbing the girls of many scoring chances. Despite a valiant effort by the boys, the girls prevailed with a 7-5 win.

The Sooke Midget A Girls played Saturday against Saanich. After a scoreless first period Sooke came out strong in the second scoring four goals. Brittany Louch scored first, assist by Kayla Aikin. Michelle Bickerdike, from Lori Brooks and Michelle Quigg, scored next.

The third goal came from Kyndra Tucker on a pass from Bickerdike. The scoring in the 6-0 was rounded out by Bailey Moir, with a pair and Quigg, assists going to Brittany Louch. Two more goals in the third period were from Bailey Moir, assists going to Kayla Aikin, Lori Brooks and Alicia Fiege. Savannah Burt-McDonald recorded the shutout.

Sunday’s game against the visiting Kerry Park Midget A girls was full of penalties for both teams. Sooke’s sole goal was in the dying minutes of the third period by Brittany Louch assist from Michelle Bickerdike. Final score was 6 to 1 for Kerry Park.

Every goaltender’s dream is a shutout and the way Brandon Gibb worked the net at Victoria Racquet Club on Halloween evening should have earned him one. But in the latter half of the game, with the Tammi Dimock Sooke Midget A boys taking a commanding lead, the puck rebounded off one of his own teammates to score Racquet Club’s only goal.

Gibb and the defence team really shone when they were down by two players and still held them off. Offensively, the Sooke boys were in top form as well. Sasha Perron got the first goal, assisted by Will Jacques, followed by two for Joel Zigay, one assisted by Gavin Kirk.

Sooke’s scorers kept it up through the rest of the game. Ryan Litoski scored two goals, assisted by Jordan Barber and Clay McClimon. Jordon Dueck, Bradon Senft and Zack Tucker also scored, and Perron got a second goal, with assists for Aaron Kasper, Litoski, Tucker, Barber and Jacques.

Sooke won the game 9-1.
