Once again the Maitland Ice Sharks
have proven they belong with the elite teams. The excitement they
provided for their fans over the weekend, words can not explain. We saw
them over come a six nothing deficit in the first period to a 10-8
victory. The quarter final game had the coaching staff and parents on
the edge of their seats. They were treated to an exciting triple
overtime win which they saw one player take on two players and the one
player coming out on top for the victory. Some of the comments that
came out of the fans went something like this, " I need to go back to
the hotel to change my shorts because i had a little accident". In this
short season the team is starting to develop a reputation of never
quitting and always playing tremendously hard in the third period. The
parents feel really proud at the way the kids conducted themselves on
and off the ice representing not only themselves but the Maitland Ice
Sharks organization as well.
P.S Despite the rumours that came back from the tournament some people are not ready to step out of the closet.
