2007-09-20 / Sports

Caledon Lightning Peewee opened their season with a 5-0 win against Caledon Black Hawks.

"A superb result for the team s very first game played together", says Coach Mike Sheridan. "They have had only a handful of practices. I am pleased with their effort and enthusiasm, and especially how well they have integrated several new players to the Select League."

The first period saw two goals by Kristian Balinov, assisted by Alex Brugger and Christian Brugger.

Second period one goal by Hayden Gorman assisted by Luke McAree and Dylan Yandeau.

Final period action saw two more goals both by Tyler Tiessen the first assisted by Alex Brugger and Kristian Balinov and the second unassisted.

Caledon Lightning goalies were both on top form - Paul Moratti and Ryan Woodworth had a shut-out.

Excellent play by the whole team for a first game of the season.

This fast flowing game saw several players from both sides entering the penalty box, and appeared a well matched game, with the whole ice in use.

This year Caledon Lightning Peewee Select team all wear a special number 12, on their jerseys. This is to honour the tragic loss of Caledon s Shawn MacDonald and his mum who died during the summer.

A friend to coach Mike and several players.

Saturday s game took place in the new Caledon East arena.

A great asset to the area, bringing some of the games a little closer to home for the players.

The parents are looking forward to the seating being completed to help with viewing.

Caledon Lighting Peewee are holding a fundraising golf tournament and family day in Shelburne on Sunday 30th September. Hole sponsorships are still available, players welcome, please contact admin@whatson.on.ca.
