Legion Peewees prepare for Kincardine Regional Silver Stick over Christmas holidays

The Kincardine Legion Peewees are headed to the Christmas break, preparing for the Kincadrine Regional Silver Stick tournament. They have several practices this week to fine-tune the team tactics.

Prior to the Christmas break, the Kinucks travelled to Seaforth, Saturday, Dec. 13, and came home with a convincing 10-3 victory.  Goal scorers in this contest were Liam Colhoun (3), Mack Beisel (2), Jordan Beisel (2), Nolan MacKinnon, Kevin Coady, and Zach Wall. Assists went to J. Beisel (4), Colhoun (2), M. Beisel (2), Cale Gibson (2), Wall (2), MacKinnon, Mitch Pyke, Ethan Petrie, and Kaleb Smith.  Every Kinuck skater got a point in the contest!

Wednesday, Dec. 17, the Kinucks headed to Teeswater to face South Bruce. A slow start saw the Kinucks trailing 1-0 after the first period. The offence came to life in the second and heading to the flood, the Kinucks were up 3-1. Goal scorers were Coady, MacKinnon, and J. Beisel. Apparently, all these three goals were unassisted. 
The Kinucks continued on the offence in the third and headed home with another victory (6-2).  Scoring in the final frame came from MacKinnon (his second) and Noah Swann from the Atom squad. Swann suited up due to the flu hitting captain Liam Colhoun. The loan assist in the whole game came from MacKinnon.

The final match before the Christmas break was at home against the Walkerton Capitals, Saturday, Dec. 20. The team headed into this contest with a 12-game unbeaten streak. It appeared the squad was already in holiday mode, and the visiting Capitals out-worked and out-skated the Kinucks and headed home on Highway 9 with a well-deserved road victory breaking the Kinucks streak with a 4-2 win. Both Kinucks goals came from Colhoun who returned from the flu; assists went to J. Beisel and Wall.

The Legion Peewees will look to start a new streak as they begin Silver Stick action, Saturday, Dec. 27, in Kincardine, against their rivals, the Saugeen Shores Storm, at 4:10 p.m. Come out and support your local athletes!
