Christmas Came Early?? Tommies Win!!

Player of the Game, Stephen Sanza.

Tommie's gave their fans an early Christmas present closing out the 1st half of the schedule with a hard fought 5-4 win over the visiting St. FX X-Men.

 

After losing a squeaker to SMU last night the Tommies jumped on the X-Men early and hit the score sheet first as Robert Zanbeek tallied an unassisted goal at 7:14. The X-Men tie it at 17:20 to end the 1st period.

In the 2nd, the Tommies scored 3 times; once on the PP, once 5 on 5 and once SH. Steve Sanza (Childerley-Levesque); Jason Trott (Levesque-Cheremetiev) and Randy Cameron (Sanza-Poulin) scored for the Tommies. The X-Men answered with 2 goals in the period giving the STU boys a 4-3 lead heading into the 3rd.

Tommies struck first in the 3rd at 42 seconds as Yuri Cheremetiev (Leduc-Bonneau) gave the home team a 2 goal edge.

 

The X-Men scored at 6:38 to close the gap to one but could not find the equalizer as the Tommies would win the squeaker on this night.

 

Playing short staffed, this was an all out solid effort by the boys and a well deserved win......the 4th of the year, one more than our total last season.....and 9 points going into the break.

St. FX out shot the Tommies 34-18.....Jon Groenheyde recorded the "W" and Steve Sanza was "Player of the Game"

 

Many thanks for your support during the past year. We wish you and your family a Joyous Holiday Season and look forward to seeing you at the GHC in the new year for more exciting STU Tommies Hockey.
