Peewee AA (U12) CHC Tier II State Champs
“We want to win the tier 2 State Championship” that was the goal set by the boys on the Peewee AA team when they began the season on August 6th. With roughly 76 teams competing to do the same, it’s easier said than done.
The State Tournament began on Thursday as WH faced a tough Yale 07 AA team. The boys finished with a victory downing Yale 3-1. On Saturday WH shutout Northwestern 2-0 and later in the day finished even with Wonderland 2-2. Moving on to the Semifinals on Sunday as the number 1 seed, WH Peewee AA team matched up against Greater New Haven Warriors and played like a team that wouldn’t be denied a bid for a shot at the State Championship. Collectively they peppered GNH goaltender resulting in a 5-2 victory and on to the last step in completing their goal, playing in the State Championship. On Sunday evening the boys would face Wonderland AA, a team they previously tied 2-2. To make things more difficult they would need to beat them in Wonderland's house. When you take a great group of boys, put them around a great group of coaches under a youth hockey program in West Haven that supports their kids in all the right ways, great things happen. WH Peewee AA accomplished their goal as they jumped all over Wonderland defeating them 4-0. This one is something they’ll never forget.
What started as individuals ended as a team. They will now take their 48 wins 9 losses and 4 ties to Regionals. Best of luck in the Regional Tournament held the weekend of March 13th in Rhode Island.
Congratulations to two of WHYH’s players for being selected Division 1 and Division 2 Freshman Player of the Year from @CTHSHockey!
