NOHL AAA Showcase
This past weekend, the U12 AAA, Sault Jr Greyhounds (“Jr. Hounds”) attended the NOHL AAA showcase, held at the Countryside Arena in Sudbury, Ontario.


Game 1 - The Jr. Hounds played the newly branded U12AAA Sudbury Jr. Wolves. Sudbury was leading 3-2 going into the third period. In the third period, the Jr. Hounds managed to score a couple of goals and a great team effort led to a 4-3 victory.

Game 2 - Saturday saw an early morning battle between the U12AAA North Bay Trappers and the Jr. Hounds. A tightly contested game with numerous shots on net for each side. The game was 1-0 for much of the first 2 periods before North Bay scored a second goal to put them ahead 2-0. 2-0 remained the score going into the final few minutes of the 3rd. Despite the two-goal deficit, the Jr. Hounds continued to push for a goal and potential comeback. The Jr. Hounds cut the score to 2-1 late in the 3rd and pulled the goalie to push hard for the equalizer. The Jr. Hounds battled to the final whistle including a few late chances with the net empty. The result was ultimately a 2-1 loss.

Game 3 - Saw the Jr. Hounds play Sudbury again in a prime-time Saturday night matchup with a substantial crowd. Sudbury was coming off a win against North Bay earlier in the day and looking for a split against the Jr. Hounds. Sudbury had the crowd roaring early when they jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the Jr. Hounds displayed resiliency in climbing back to a 2-2 game before netting a shorthanded goal to take the lead 3-2. Sudbury tried valiantly at the end of the game to score the equalizer and pulled their goalie. Sudbury was unable to tie the game because the Jr. Hounds’ goalie made a few stops in the crease with less than 2 seconds left in the game, preserving the victory.

Game 4 - Sunday morning saw a rematch against the North Bay team. Both teams entered the match with identical records of two wins and a loss. The Jr. Hounds started this game off differently than the prior game, “flipping the script” by racing out to a 2-0 lead. North Bay then made it 2-1 on the power play. Almost immediately thereafter the Jr. Hounds popped in a further goal to make it 3 to 1. For good measure, the Jr. Hounds added one more and the game ended 4-1 in a fast-paced affair.

Your U12AAA Jr. Hounds will be back on the ice for regular season games the second weekend of October. Please check the team calendar for further details. Team Home Page
