The Gateway Mites defeated YD 22-8 on Saturday avenging an earlier 13-13 tie. Jarrod Frates scored off the opening faceoff on a pass from Ben Hebble.

Gateway played a total team game by back-checking, fore-checking and making several great passes resulting in goals. The best part of their game was passing.

Bree Killion had two assists on the night. Charlie Carroll was sharp in net and stopped 40 shots. The Mites have lost once in their last eight games.
