U13 Team 1 playing for Intertown League A Championship title

By CasandraTurnbull

The Paris Minor Hockey Association’s U13 Team 1 is calling out for fan support as they head into the Intertown League ‘A’ Division Championships next week.

After an impressive 20-win, 5-loss and 3-tie regular season, the Wolfpack will face some tough competition against Waterford. Luckily for Paris, they’re no stranger to facing tough competition and beating the odds After all, they just beat the number one ranked Burford team in the semi-finals to earn a position in this championship series.

Paris and Waterford will come face to face in a battle of strengths and Coach Chris Hall believes Paris’ strengths will definitely give Waterford some difficulty.

“The ability to play at a fast pace for all three periods, has been the key to our success,” said Hall. Over the course of the season, his team has made great strides in overcoming some of their initial weaknesses, gaining a better understanding of positional play and making good passes.

Hall said he’s enjoyed watching the team gel this year. They’ve came together to face some tough competition, winning crucial games and proving they can win if they play together. The U13 Team 1 is fresh of a tournament gold medal win in Stoney Creek last month. They dominated with 27 goals for and only 6 goals against and on the road to gold they won a game in triple overtime!

If they continue to play together, read the play, and position themselves to score, there’s a very good chance the team will bring home another pennant for the rafters!

Game one is Tuesday, March 19th in Waterford at 6 pm. Game two is on home ice on Thursday, March 21st at 7 pm at the Brant Sports Complex. If they win the first game on the road, they can claim the title in front of a hometown crowd Game 3, if required, will be in Waterford on March 26th at 6 p m Come on out and support your local Wolfpack!
