Midget B girls Jets face Comets
November 17, 2015
The Bancroft I.D.A/Canadian Tire midget B Girls Jets travelled to Brighton on Saturday night to face off against the third place Cold Creek Comets. In a spirited effort, the Jets looked to maintain their early season undefeated record.
After two scoreless periods, both teams continued to challenge the other squad as they tried to beat the opposing tender and break the 0-0 tie. Cold Creek upped their aggressive play, eventually resulting a five minute “hit from behind” major penalty midway through the third period, sending a Jets’ player off the ice with an injury, putting a dent to an already short Jets’ player’s bench.
The Jets maintained their composure but could not capitalize on the five minute power play. Neither team could find a way to solve their opposing net-minder and the game finished in a 0-0 draw.
Katie Hoover’s shut-out, her seventh of the season, helped the Jets maintain their early season undefeated record at 8-0-1. Good game girls, keeping your cool and finishing strong.
The Jets are on the road Saturday afternoon, Nov. 21 at 4 p.m., taking on the Lindsay Lynx. Next home will be Sunday afternoon, Nov. 22 at 3 p.m., where the Jets will host the second place Peterborough Ice Kats in Bancroft.
