The Freeze 14U UA team traveled down I-81 to play two games versus the Roanoke Jr. Rail Yard Dawgs.

In game one, the Freeze and Jr. Rail Yard Dawgs traded goals to end the first period tied 2-2. It was all Freeze after that with two goals in the second, and total team defense throughout the game to secure the 4-2 win. Coach McGee stated, "It was our most complete game of the season."

Continuing their play from game one, the Freeze dominated the first period of game two, leading 2-0 as the horn sounded. The Jr. Rail Yard Dawgs then scored the next four goals. However, the Freeze didn't give up, scoring two goals within 30 seconds early in the third period, but the Dawgs scored an even strength goal with 8 minutes left to hang onto the victory, 5-4.

14U LA

The LA team participated in their first tournament of the season, the MyHockey Congressional Cup. The boys kicked things off Saturday afternoon against Bowie. The Freeze wasted little time dominating the game in the offensive zone & racking up the shots on net. The boys won 4-1. They continued the momentum into their next game later that night against Ashburn. The boys came ready to play against their toughest competition yet. The Freeze hung right in there with their competitor up until the third period. Ultimately, Ashburn took the lead and won 7-2.

Sunday evening, the boys headed back down the road to take on Tri-City. Unfortunately, their opponent dominated most of the game, resulting in a loss. Early Monday morning, the Freeze faced their final opponent, Piedmont. Despite outshooting their opponent, the game ended in a tie 2-2. The boys ended the series with a tie for third place. Way to go Freeze!

14U B

This week’s update for 14U B is brought to you by the numbers 2 and 3! We played 2, count them 2, ah-ah-ah-mazing games and won both 3-0 against the Montgomery Blue Devils (Gold) and the Easton Ice Hawks. Put those numbers together and you get #23. This defenseman cannot be stopped, skating circles around the opposing team and adding an assist against the Ice Hawks that helped put his team on top!

The second game of the day was equally as exciting. The Rockets had an early lead in the first, and with 24.3 seconds left in the game, the Freeze tied it up. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.


Squirt

10U AA

This weekend the 10U AA team traveled to Virginia Beach to take on the Hampton Roads Warriors in two EJEPL matchups.

Early Sunday morning was the setting for a competitive rematch. The Freeze fell in a hard-fought overtime loss, 5-4.

Growing confidence, stamina, and overall improvement in all phases of the game is a testament to the Soifer led staff, and the grit these kids have.
