Squirt A Weekend Recap
After a tough loss on Saturday facing a very synergistic Western (Danbury) 96' Squirt A team, the Clippers traveled to Brewster, NY to face the Brewster Bulldogs Squirt team. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first period. The Clippers charged right back in the middle of the second period when Alex Manner (1) took it to the net for his first goal of the year, assisted by Tyler Juliano. Minutes later Manner (2) did it again unassisted to put the Clippers into the lead in the second period. The Bulldogs managed to sneak a goal in the third to tie the game. Then, Juliano (1) assisted by Manner, gave the Clippers the game winning goal late in the third period. Up one goal with 1:01 left on the clock, Brewster pulled the goalie and went on a 6-4 man advantage to try to tie it up. The outstanding defensive efforts by Andrew Wilson, Peyton Lawler, Garrett O'Brien, Joe Vilano, and Cameron Howe-Bernadel would not allow the Bulldogs their game tying goal. The result was a 3-2 win for the Clippers, their first of the year. Kyle “Pac-Man” Thibodeaux was outstanding in the pipes facing 25 shots and stopping 23. Thibodeaux also had a very productive outing on Saturday stopping 48 shots in a losing effort. Congratulations on your first victory boys!!!!!!
