Novice Rep, U15 (formerly Bantam), 2010-2011 (Essex Minor Hockey)

The Novice Ravens with already an outstanding season had one more weekend in hopes of becoming the Blue water champions. The Ravens had to get by first place Chatham in order to play Belle River in the finals on Sunday. Chatham who just won the OMHA Novice AA championships was going to be a tough match however our Ravens were more than up for the challenge.

On Tuesday March 22nd the Ravens faced the Tecumseh Eagles. It was an evenly matched game that resulted in a 1-1 tie.

On Sunday, March 13th our boys faced off their second game against New Hamburg Husky’s and coming off with the loss on the first game, they were on a mission.  And that was to win.

Game 6 of the semi-final match-up between the Essex Novice Ravens and the Dorchester Dragons took place on Tuesday, March 8th . It was a “do or die” situation for both teams since 6 points were needed to advance to the OMHA finals and each team had 5. This was going to be an intense battle in front of a packed house at the Essex Sports and Recreational Centre.

On Sunday March 6th, the Novice Ravens played Game 5 in Dorchester. Up 5 points to 3, our boys only needed a win or a tie to win the 6 point series.
