Week 3 of the Scotiabank DJHL play-offs featured exciting
action once again. This week goalies grabbed a lot of the spotlight, along with
one outstanding offensive performance from a U15 forward. Our Sportscraft Stars of the Week salute them.
First Sportscraft Star goes to Chris Browne, forward with
BNS U15 AA Gladiators. Chris was a scoring machine in Game 1 of his team’s
semi-final against the second place BNS Privateers. He tallied four times in
his team’s buzzer beater victory over the Privateers. (Ty Peddigrew scored with
2.8 seconds to play to give the Gladiators the win.) Chris’s five-point night
was rewarded with his team’s Player of the Game on the night.
Second Sportscraft Star goes to Thomas Morey, goaltender for
NE U13 B Eagles. Thomas played a key role for his team, tending net for both
Eagles win on their way to the title over the Paradise Warriors. Nicknamed “Tomcats,”
his cool demeanor and steady play between the pipes did not go unnoticed by his
coaches.
Third Sportscraft Star is presented to the goalie tandem of
Ian Mitchell and Jacob King of the Eagles U13 A squad. Their coaches were
impressed by Mitchell and King this past week and give them both high marks for
their spectacular play in their semi-final series win against a strong Warriors
team. These two will be glad to share the prize.
