The Phi Dental Care Soo Jr Greyhounds are going into this weekends playoffs as true underdogs. But what the competition doesn't know is this team has had dramatic improvement since the beginning of the year.
With a regular season record of 1-10-1 verses this weekends competition, the '07 Jr Greyhounds are ready to display their new skills and team play. The Soo Jr Greyhounds played Houghton and Marquette in the first 2 months of the season before the boys truly learned what it meant to play as a team.
Since then, the boys captured the Sudbury Regional Silverstick Championship title, lost a close game in the International Silversticks Championship semi finals to the tournament champions, moved up the rankings to 6th overall in Ontario and is currently on a 5 game winning streak that propelled them into the playoffs.
Their speed, their puck attack and team play will turn some heads this weekend as the 2007 Soo Jr Greyhounds plan to upset the competition as they go for gold in the NIHL playoffs at the Big Bear arena in Soo Michigan.
