U9 Knights are Tournament Champs!
The U9 Norfolk Knights participated in the Mary Parkinson Memorial A tournament April 1-3, 2022.
The Knights came out flying in game 1, opening their tournament with a barn burning 9-0 win over the Markham Waxers. Game 2 featured a formidable opponent in New Hamburg, and while our Knights gave it everything they had, the Huskies came out on top 3-2 in an intense thriller of a match.
After sleeping on a 1-1 record, our Knights presented the Dundas Blues with more than they could handle. Knights 7, Blues 1. The final game of the round pit Norfolk against the Burlington Eagles. With a thrilling 8-3 win, the Knights advanced to the semi-finals!
Semi-Finals. Knights v. Mount Brydges Cougars. The stage was set for an epic match. The undefeated Cougars were full of confidence and the Knights were riding into the game with a full head of steam. The Cougars opened the scoring, but with steady nerves the Knights never wavered and stormed back to tie the game 1-1. The game was headed to sudden victory overtime! GOAL NORFOLK!!! The crowd went wild as the Knights scored on a shot from the blue line, punching their ticket to the Tournament Finals!!!
At game time in the Finals, the air was thick with the smell of a rematch. The New Hamburg Huskies, who downed Norfolk just two days earlier, stood between the Knights and Championship glory. Once again the Knights found themselves behind, trailing 1-0 heading into the Third Period. Down in score but not in spirit, the Knights fought hard and with 2 goals from close range claimed the Tournament Title! CHAMPIONS!!! Your hard work and determination paid off!
Congratulations Knights on a very successful and fun season!!!
