Empire beat Jr Ducks 1 5-2
Also, we are new to the ice hockey scene. So my 2 cents may not mean much, but here are my thoughts about a couple of things. MHR rankings, although a guide, are not the end all be all. We have played many scrimmages, and they are not listed, while others are. I believe we even have some games that are not, or at least haven’t been listed. So the ranking can definitely be off. Also, I don’t know that coaches care as much about all that as parents do ;-) Our Coach for instance looks at CAHA games differently than SCAHA games or scrimmages. He will use a SCAHA game, as in the Empire vs Wave game as a way to teach the kids a lesson about their game play. I will just say, that he was not pleased with the initial effort and teamwork from the team, and while the score was tied after the second, he switched things up to teach a valuable lesson to the kids about playing their position well, team work, and their level of compete. All this to say, that sometimes we don’t have all the info just by looking at a score in a scrimmage or SCAHA game.
Here’s to a great hockey season!
