Midget LL2, U18 Midget, 2015-2016 (New Hamburg Hockey Association)

The New Hamburg Huskies Midget LL2s have claimed the Grand River Local League Championship! It was a stunning 3-game series comeback performance that began with heartbreak on Sunday March 6 when the Dogs hosted the Beverly Bandits LL1. Having secured the top slot in the round-robins, the Huskies hoped to use home-ice advantage for game one and come away with a win. 

The New Hamburg Huskies Midget LL2s have clinched a berth in the A-pool finals! Having secured 8 points in the first 7 round robin games, they badly needed a win at home in their 8th and final game against the Beverly Bandits LL1 on February 27.  A win would confirm the advancement while a tie or loss would leave their fate in doubt. It was with this knowledge that the Dogs faced their guests, a team they had yet to beat this season. 

The New Hamburg Huskies Midget LL2s were looking for a rebound on February 20 after suffering a disappointing 4 – 3 loss the previous night in Elmira.  With round robin play-downs entering a critical phase, the Dogs could not afford another loss without jeopardizing their chances for a top 2 slot and a trip to the finals this season. 

The New Hamburg Huskies Midget LL2s were in fine form when they hosted the Beverly Bandits on February 13 for game 5 of the round-robin play-offs.  Flush with victory from their win against Woolwich, the Dogs were determined to repeat the performance but they knew this contest would not be easy. 

The New Hamburg Huskies Midget LL2s were in need of a win on February 11 at home, having been dealt a disappointing 2 – 1 loss the previous week in Beverly. The Dogs hosted the Woolwich Wildcats LL2 for their 4th round robin play off game and took to the ice with a determined work ethic.
