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. Gavin carried the puck down the ice and scored the first of his three goals. His second came when he stole the puck at centre ice and drove deep into the Erie end, firing the puck high and in. 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.
