The Northeast Alberta Hockey League (NEAHL) is still finalizing the tiering process, and a final schedule is coming out sometime this coming week. But it appears some work is still needed.

U13 Avalanche

Two huge wins for the U13 Avalanche this past weekend. Tor “The Tornado” Aarbo cutting a path through the ice on Friday night up in Cold Lake when he scored double digits. Eleven goals in total for The Tornado. Cohen “Big Horn” Brousseau doing a lot of damage as well. He scored a double hat trick and added two assists. Landon “Lights Out” St. Arnault buried two pucks into the twine and also added a helper. Jasper “The Bear” Hymanyk also with a goal.

On Saturday, the game was a bit closer, but the Avalanche still came out on top, 13 to 8 the final score. Six more goals for The Tornado. Big Horn with four more goals and a couple of apples. Defenceman Christian “Bones 2.0” Yaremkevich scoring a goal and adding three assists. He also visited the sin bin a few times. Team captain Stetson “Shack” Reynolds scoring a goal and adding an assist. Rayen “Sting-Ray” Quinney also with a goal in this contest. Blake “The Rattlesnake” Fontaine and Lights Out each with two assists. Damian “Foghorn” Ockerman, Thomas “The Tank” Morris and The Bear all adding an assist. Some solid forechecking by Brady “The Bulldozer” Heathcote, Vanellope Gamble and Gabe “Dangerous” Dion. Goaltender Tydis Whiskeyjack Cardinal facing 43 shots.

U11 Avalanche

The U11 Avalanche team lost a close contest on Friday night at home in the A.G. Ross Arena, 9 to 8 the final score in favour of the visiting Cold Lake Ice. Gavin “The Badger” Brousseau scoring four goals and adding an assist. “Hard Knox” Mudryk scored two goals and added one assist. Mason “Mini-Wheels” Weir scored a goal and added an assist. Gunnar “The Roadrunner” Kelly also on the scoresheet with an assist.

On Saturday, the U11 Avalanche travelled to Marwayne, facing some very strong competition, the Dewberry/Marwayne Renegades. The Avalanche losing this game by a fairly large margin. Goaltender Tucker “The Puck Stops Here” Pankiw was busy facing 43 shots. The Badger tunnelling through the defence, managing to score a couple of goals. Aksel “Lightning” Aarbo the only other Avalanche player to strike in this contest.

U18 Avalanche

So far this season, the U18 Avalanche have competed very well. Winning some games by a few goals or losing by a few goals. And a few times, the games ending in a tie. But not on this past Saturday night when the U18 Avalanche travelled south to Vermilion, planning to tame the Tigers. The Tigers had other plans, taking a big bite out of the Avalanche, sending them back home scoreless. The final, 6 to zip for the Tigers.

Coming Up at the A.G. Ross Arena

This coming weekend, the A.G. Ross Arena will be very busy. Our U11 Avalanche team is hosting an eight-team tournament starting Friday night through to late Sunday afternoon. Come on down and check out these future stars.
