U13 LL Blue shuts out Erie North Shore
For the second game in a row, the Southpoint U13 LL Blue team worked hard to earn a shutout. The previous week, Ty Gould was between the pipes blocking all shots. This past week it was Sonny Coppola’s turn to shine, gobbling up all of the Erie North Shore Gold’s attempts. Southpoint opened up the scoring early in the game with Sean Amaral putting in the rebound from a Cristiano Antune shot. In the second period, Southpoint’s Brent Pimental passed the puck from his own net out to Gavin Butineilo at the blue line.

U9 Caps give back to community WHEATLEY — The Southpoint Capitals U9 Travel team recently held a team fundraiser to help the Wheatley Food Bank and Wheatley Community Chest and raised over $1,000 in cash, toys and food donations. The team called their fundraiser Operation Christmas Assist, which tied hockey into the title of the event. Team manager Michelle Reid was thrilled with the
outcome. “The initial goal I set was $300 in cash donations and as many toys and cans we could collect,” she said. “We blew that out of the water!” In all, the squad raised $715 in cash donations, $75 in gift cards, two turkeys, and numerous food and toy donations. After their home game on Saturday, December 11, the team presented the money and items to Susan
Fulmer of the Wheatley Area Food Bank. “I’m very proud of our team and the difference this donation will make to many local families, especially this year when many have been displaced by the Wheatley explosion,” said Reid. “We felt very strongly about teaching our players the importance of giving back, especially during the holiday season. We plan to make it an annual fundraiser.”

On Gavin’s third goal, he skated into the opposition end and took a shot which was blocked. He then grabbed the rebound, skated around the back of the net and put the puck in on a wrap-around. Sean capped off the scoring, putting in a rebound from a Brent Pimental shot. Southpoint won 5-0. It was a well-balanced game with offense and good defense. They did not turn over the puck on bad mistakes.

Gillett 9 Gualtieri 2 Gillett Roofing hammered the Gualtieri Farms squad who were hoping for a bit of luck with their new jerseys. Gualtieri’s output was courtesy of Pat Sonoski and Dylan Impens. For the second consecutive week, Mitch Prudence paced the Gillett assault with a hattrick. Calan Kir also triggered a hattrick, while Pete Neufeld fired two and Marshall Fritsch planted one.
Gabriele 8 Reid 7 It didn’t take long to decide this one as it went to the three-on-three overtime frame. Reid’s put up a great comeback in the third period to knot the contest. Cale Phibbs paced that attack by drilling two, while Cody Cabral, Kevin Sawatzky, Dylan Montague and Jordan Hooker tabbed one goal apiece. The Gabriele squad rode Kyle Kudrock’s hattrick and three assists, while Kyle Dietrich scooped two. Cam Dawson planted one and the hero was Brett Babkirk, whose sharp angle OT shot found the target for the game winner.
