Championship Game Jaags vs. Pancakes

Well fans this was the big one.................

The much anticipated final game between two of Birminghams best Mite house teams.

In goal for the Jaags was Nathan Glime and he peaked at the right time. Nathan had an outstanding game in net letting up only one goal on the way to the taking home the championship. The game was a close one with exciting action at both ends of the ice. The Jaags really came together as a team on the way to a 3-1 victory over the Pancake House team.

Blake Salesin playing defense for the Jaags had one of his best games of the season scoring two goals to give the Jaags the lead 2-1 going into the early part of the third period. But it took outstanding team defense in the last two minutes of the game with the Jaags having to kill a penalty to stop the Pancakes.

Josh Sherman sealed the deal with a goal in the last minute of play to make it 3-1 and bring the cup home to the Jaags. It was a total team effort on defense by Sam Zack, Mott brothers and Jack Harris. The offense was aggressive the whole game by keeping the puck in the offensive zone for most of the third period.

It was a great season for the Jaags and we wish the players well in the future.

I can speak for the other coaches in saying it was a pleasure coaching all the players this season.
The effort they gave was excellent and the competetive spirit really shined. Thank you for allowing me to help coach your kids, keep them skating and enjoy the rest of the year.

Thanks again,

Coach Brian
