Jaags vs. Royal Oak

WOW, What a game!
The JAAG's team really came to play this morning. The much anticipated game with Royal Oak was all that it lived up to. The JAAGs came out firing on all cylinders. Nikhil Vasan had a fantastic game in net letting up only 3 goals in a game that went into the third period tied at 1-1. The JAAGs had a few excellent scoring chances but only managed one goal with that coming in the period 2 with an outstanding centering pass from Blake Salesin, playing defense, to centerman Josh Sherman who flicked it over the goaltenders shoulder to make it 1-1.
Josh Sherman played aggressive all game and had a few fine scoring chances.
The defense led by Sam Zack, Blake Salesin, the Mott boys and Jack Harris played marvelous the entire game both in positioning and protecting the goalie. The JAAG's team seems to have really come together on both offense and defense and is defining its place in the league.
The JAAG's do not skate again until December 3rd with a practice at Birmingham Ice Rink.

If any of the players have a chance on Friday to skate at Troy we would love to have you.
Go JAAG's

JAAG's vs. Birmingham #1

JAAG fans-

What a game today. The game lived up to its pre-game hype ending in a 1-1 tie.
The JAAG's had Josh Sherman in net and he gave a stellar performance allowing only one goal. He was protected by a very solid defense lead by Anderson, L. Mott, D. Sclabassi and Harris. The offense played with great intensity right up to the end and even had a chance to win it with numerous shots on goal as time expired. The only goal scored was by N. Vasan midway through the second period.
The JAAG's now post a 1-1-1 record within the Birmingham Mite League.

The JAAG's take to the ice again tomorrow at 4pm, 3pm pictures, against a tough Royal Oak team.
Come out and support your JAAGs.

Go JAAGs

JAAG's vs. DSC

Saturday evening turned out to be a tough night for the JAAG's. After a week layoff the JAAG's saw action on Saturday but unfortunately came up short loosing 8-3. In net for the JAAG's was Blake Salesin. He got off to a rocky start in the first period letting up a few unanswered goals, but managed to settle down and give a solid effort for the remainder of the game. The team came together nicely in the 2nd and 3rd periods and managed to keep the pressure on the DSC team as play intensified.
Josh Sherman lead the JAAG's in scoring. A solid effort was given by the defensive units of Zack, E. Mott, Glime, and Anderson and Harris.

The JAAG's will again take the ice on both Saturday and Sunday with a weekend double header.

See you on the ice

Go JAAG,s
