Midget LL2, U18 Midget, 2013-2014 (New Hamburg Hockey Association)

Having secured the top slot in round-robin play-off action the Midget Husky LL2’s had home ice advantage when they began their best of 3 series against the Paris Wolfpack to decide which team would be the Grand River League Midget Champion for 2014. 

The Midget Husky LL2s had a busy weekend in Paris trying to secure some end of season hardware in the Syl Apps Tournament. Friday March 21 saw the Dogs facing off against the Aylmer #2 Flames but things did not go well for the Pack at first. Down by two goals, they made up for it in the second, scoring three to take the lead. 

The Huskies Midget LL2 needed a pair of wins in order to advance to the A-pool finals and the only things standing in their way were opponents that had their own agendas. Their brethren Huskies Midget LL1, although mathematically eliminated from the final round, were poised to play spoiler for the LL2s on March 5 when the puck dropped at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. 

After suffering a 4 – 3 play-down loss in Paris on February 12, the Midget Husky LL2s were looking for a home ice win on February 14. The game was their second match in a 6-game round-robin series that would decide which two teams would move to the finals. Their opponent was their fraternity brothers, the Husky LL1s but friendship was not playing a part in the action that night

The Midget Husky LL2s were facing off against a desperate opponent on February 3. The hosting Beverly Bandits needed a win to assure an A-pool spot in the post season while the Huskies were already through that gate and were determined to improve their position.
