U10 team charges forward undefeated

The Southpoint-Essex U10 team got off to a slow start in Chatham on Sunday, Oct. 24, but they eventually shifted into high gear and charged to a 12-1 victory to remain undefeated this season.

While Brody Church has been a steadfast defensive leader for the Capitals, he showed his offensive flare in this game and led with a hat trick for the Caps as well as ringing a few more pucks off the goal posts.

Russell Colenutt and Drake Pernal added to the excitement with their first goals of the season.

Also chipping in on the scoring action were Conner Blain, Asher Grossi, Carter Demant and Christian Rutgers.

The powerful defence continued with Ashton Drodz who had multiple shots on net, along with Jackson Root, Brady George and Lyle Fleming who kept the pressure on.

Owen Tavares continued to be strong between the pipes, giving up only one goal and allowing only three goals total in his last two appearances.

The Capitals will now set their sights on Saturday’s home game against the undefeated Belle River Canadiens.
