Pee Wees

The Gladiators Pee Wees faced Duxbury on Saturday. The first period was a back and forth affair with shot after shot, but it was a goalies' game, each facing multiple shots but keeping the score 0-0. The second period was a different story as the Pee Wees heated up the ice. Matthew Paling put the Pee Wees on the board unassisted, followed by a goal from Nathan Ribeiro assisted from Ty Rebeiro.

In the third period, Duxbury added some pressure and held the Pee Wees from scoring until near the end of the game when Joe Urnek the final goal of the game assisted by Matthew Paling, ending with a 4-0 win.

On Sunday, the Pee Wees took to the ice against the Coastal Stars, taking home a 6-2 win. Late in the first period, Ty Rebeiro was able to get the team its first goal, assisted by Nathan Ribeiro. In the second frame, Ty put away another, assisted by Lucas DeMoranville, and later Ty completed his hat trick unassisted. Sean Pollock was right where he needed to be for the team during the game, making numerous plays to keep the Stars out of Gateway's zone.

Brady Kidney skated hard in getting the puck to the net and Jacob Hebbel, playing a defensive game, made sure the Stars were limited in their puck possession. At the tail end of the second period, Thomas Leger added a nice goal from the blue line assisted by Joe Urnek. In the third period, Leger scored his second goal of the game assisted by Pollock, and Nathan Ribeiro made a tricky shot assisted by DeMoranville. Ryker King made great saves in net.
