Thunder Show Grit in Tough Weekend
While the results on the scoreboard weren't what U11 Team 1 may have wanted to see this past weekend, the effort and grit shown by the team shone through.

Despite losses of 4-1, 5-2, and 3-0, Caledonia U11 Team 1 provided plenty of reasons for optimism for the rest of the season this past weekend.
On Friday night, Caledonia lost to Glanbrook Blue 4-1. However, the line of Zach A, Layton H, and Fletcher F continued to produce, as Zach A scored Caledonia's only goal on the night. Goalie Jaxon C made several key saves to keep Caledonia in the game.
On Saturday, Caledonia lost to a tough Cayuga team 5-2. Goalie Fletcher F and the defence of Molly F, Teddy B, Blake L, and Nate C shut down the Cayuga offence in the third period, before James G scored 2 goals to make it a close game before the final buzzer. Winger Nixon Y also collected an assist on James's 2nd goal of the game.
On Sunday, Caledonia travelled to Glanbrook to take on Glanbrook Orange. Strong backchecking by the line of Noah K, Violet E, and Chase W helped keep the puck out of the Caledonia end for most of the game, and the lines of DrewG/JaxonC/NixonY and BlakeL/ZachA/FletcherF had several opportunities but just couldn't get the right bounces to get one past the Rangers' netminder. Goalie Davin S made several big saves to keep Caledonia in the game until the end.
The Thunder will look to rebound this week as they take on Caledonia Team 3 in a highly anticipated game on Wednesday night.
