Another Solid Performance moves AE to 3 above .500
Coming off a strong performance against Tavistock at home Sunday, Tillsonburg (6-3-0) were looking to continue their winning ways on the road Wednesday in Caledonia (7-8-0).
Both teams got off to a bit of a slow start but after Tillsonburg got their first few chances it seemed to go straight to their feet and resulted in the more aggressive, hard checking, defensively resposible and offence driven team they have become.
Tillsonburg now has an impressive 42 goals for and only 18 against in 9 regular season games this season.
The Forward group was much better in puck movement and remembering good positioning was not a problem this game as they stayed spread out and were in the right place at the right time.
The coaches were looking for improvement in making the pass to the linemate with the better scoring angle and skating harder to pressure deep in the offensive zone.
The Defence were solid and showed good judgement in passes and defending the front of the net.
The coaches would like to see inprovement in clearing the zone and making good choices when to pinch.
All in all the coaches were extremely happy with the boys and the effort the put out.
The Golden Jersey went to Joel Gordham for his end to end ice presence and aggressive checking.
