Leafs get 5-4 win at Paramount over Lightning

Blake and Edward faced an old teammate, #21 Michael Fary from Beach City, who they played with for a couple seasons as Squirts. The Leafs jumped out to a 4-1 lead, and when I arrived a few minutes into the second period, it was 4-2. A parade of second period penalties and and the Lightning had made it 4-3. Cole had a great goal on a spectacular effort, which proved to be the game winner.

What the heck--do it again next week!!???

Ryan, Robert Riddle Reign

First, many thanks to Debbie and Edwin (Edward's dad) for handling the video duties for this game. In addition, lovely photos were also taken with the fancy high grade camera lens Deb rented for the weekend to cover the Bantam game Saturday and the Pee Wee game Sunday in Paramount!

With just Blake, Doug and Julian on defense, and six forwards, the Pasadena Maple Leafs Bantam outshot the Riverside Jr Reign 34-16 on the way to a 3-0 victory. Robert scored twice, and Ryan was solid in goal, turning aside everything that came his way.
 
Anyhow, here are the highlights from a scoreless 1st period. Some hits, some saves, some shots, everything but goals I reckon! Enjoy--

Per 1 at Jr Reign

More control of the action by the Leafs, still no score-- Scoreless after two periods.

Period 2 action

And in the third, Amanda scores and Robert on a great deflection and a sweet one-timer from the slot make it 3-0. Then Doug and some dude went nose to nose and hugged it out..HITS, not HUGS dude!

Period 3 -- The Feud is settled but gets ugly before it ends!

And a couple fotos--my favorite is the "Do(u)gpile" shot!

That dude can fly, but he can't knock our awesome Amanda down!

Robert first of two!

Everybody, DOUG-PILE!

Robert gets congrats a second time!
