The Revelstoke Pee Wee Rep Team headed to Kimberley on March 14 representing Revelstoke and the Okanagan at the BC Hockey Tier 4 Championship Tournament.
Revelstoke can be very proud of our Pee Wee Team who both played great hockey on the ice and were terrific ambassadors out of the arena and return home with a third-place finish.
The first game on March 15 was vs Fort Nelson. With some nerves yet to settle, we lost 3-6.
The second day, March 16, was a double game day and the team was now ready to play. After being down 5-1, there was no way they were going to let this one get away. Every player elevated their game but special mention must go to Grady Powell who netted 4 goals and led the team to win 6-5.
Later that night the challenge was Kimberley. Again with determination, the team battled and the game ended in a 5-5 tie.
The March 17 game was vs Langley who had yet to lose by any reasonable margin. After a very strong game we held them at an even 1-1 game until late in the third but then ended at a 1-3 loss.
Our final game on March 18 was vs Houston. We won 13-0.
Our goalie Dom Donato was the Team’s anchor. In front of him were our swift and sturdy defence – James LeBuke, Tyler Jamieson, Will MacDonald, Makenna Howe and Krystal Kinoshita. Our fast and handy forwards were Sammy LeRose, David Kline, Matthew Scarcella, Grady Powell, Lane Bull, Jayke Coueffin, Carlos Serrouya, Michael Miertsch and Tyson Sessa.
With the 2-2-1 record, the Revelstoke Pee Wee Team took third place. We actually tied Kimberley with points but edged ahead with a higher tie breaking percentage.
The Championship game was Langley (5) vs Fort Nelson (3).
The Revelstoke Pee Wee Rep would like to thank the community of Revelstoke for supporting the team on this great adventure. It will be an experience never forgotten for these young players.
Here are a few photos of the kids:
