Hawks Find Form Against Carleton Misfits (December 28th)

After struggling in the tournament opener, the Hawks came ready to play Saturday morning against one of the host Carleton teams (the Misfits). It took Captain Will Shaw, picking up where he left off the night before, less than 5-minutes to stake the Hawks to a lead they would never relinquish (unassisted). While the Hawks played extremely well throughout, and rarely afforded the Misfits any quality scoring chances, they did struggle with their scoring touch to a degree, leaving the second period up only 2-0 on the strength of Duncan Christie’s 3^rd goal of the tournament on an excellent feed from Ramin Imran; who was in full go mode from the moment the puck dropped to open this important contest (a second assist was also awarded to Will Shaw on the play). The third period was another story, with the Hawks rattling off three straight goals within a 44 second span to put the game far out of reach.

-          Goal # 3 – Duncan Christie (Will Shaw and Trent Haines assisting)

-          Goal # 4 – Denver Pike (Duncan Christie)

-          Goal # 5 – Keaton MacPhee (Denver Pike)

Unfortunately, Justin Chronkite’s second shutout bid of the season was spoiled with only 49 seconds to play, and was the only blemish on an otherwise dominating performance.

Ramin Imran played, by far, his best game of the year; competing hard in both the offensive and defensive ends of the ice, and was awarded the game MVP for his superb efforts! Duncan Christie, recording back-to-back  multi-goal games in the tournament, was also well deserving of, and proudly displaying, the Hard Hat!
