The Eastman Selects bid a fond farewell to the 2009-10 season after dropping game 4 in their best of 5 series against the Winnipeg Hawks with a score of 6-0. The Eastman Selects started the game on the wrong foot entering the penalty box on a consistant basis and in total gave the Hawks 3 power play goals. To put it bluntly, the Selects took a total of 72 minutes in penalties whereas the Hawks took 32 minutes. The Hawks scored once in the first, twice in the second period and three more times in the third. In total, goaltender Evan Raugust faced just over 170 shots in the four game series as once again the Hawks outshot the Selects 45-24 tonight. End of season tempers did let go on occasion but all in all, the Eastman City Selects took the high road and lost with grace. We can only hope that the Winnipeg Hawks move on to the finals with the dignity that the Eastman team showed. The Selects will now cheer from the sidelines for their Eastman cousins, the Provincial Selects as they move towards beating the Winnipeg Wild and moving on to the Provincial Midget AAA finals. Way to go City Selects, a job well done! |

The WMHA semi finals continued for the Eastman Selects on Thursday night at the Keith Bodley arena where the Winnipeg Hawks took full advantage of the friendly confines of the Winnipeg rink. The Hawks got of the board early on the power play at just over 2 minutes into the contest. At the midway point of the period, the Hawks struck again of a deflected point shot. Eastman responded back with 7:17 left in the period as Taylor Friesen scored on a feed from Tyler Funk. Yet again, on the power play, the Hawks again scored only :45 seconds later. The Hawks outshot the Selects 22-6 in the period as they had the majority of the play in Eastman's zone. The Hawks continued to take the play to the Selects, scoring once in the period and again, badly outshooting the Selects 17-6 in the frame The third period saw the Selects finally get some momentum outshooting the Hawks 13-7, but to no avail, by pressing so hard on the offence, the Hawks took advantage, scoring two more times late in the period. The game ended up 6-1 where goaltender Evan Raugust faced 46 shots as compared to 25 shots for the Selects. No time to rest as these two teams go to it again Friday night in Ste. Anne for game 4. Let's all fill the Ste. Anne arena and cheer on the Selects to push the series to the limit. |
