Thunder Talk: February 23rd

It's been a long and winding road, but we've finally reached the end of the regular season. After some well documented growing pains at the beginning of the season, we rebounded and passed the Royals for 2nd place in the North, home ice in at least the 1st round of playoffs and no worse then 3rd place overall in the PJHL.Things always seem to move slower when your not doing well and the last 4 months have been somewhat of a blur compared to the first 2. The fact that we followed a 3-6-0-1 start to finish 26-4-0-2 is a testament to the players on this team buying in early. Our leadership group is also responsible for the seamless integration of our new players who joined us in the midst of our run to 2nd place and although we have sputtered as of late with our consistency we have still been finding ways to win hockey games. I'm confident that we are ready for a long and successful playoff run.

A quick recap of our numbers throughout the season, broken down into 4 quarters:

Q1: 7 Pts (3-6-0-1)(PP:22%/ PK:79% = 101 STR)
Q2: 18 Pts (8-1-0-2) (PP:24%/ PK:80% = 104 STR)
Q3: 20 Pts (10-0-0-0) (PP:28%/ PK:86% = 114 STR)
Q4: 16 Pts (8-3-0-0) (PP:22%/ PK:89% = 111 STR)
-------------------------------------------------
Tot:61 Pts (29-10-0-3) (PP:24%/ PK:84% = 108 STR)
