Cubs Keep Improving, and Losing

Both Cubs teams continue to play better each week but struggle to show up well on the scoreboard against juniors and seniors in the B league.

The Tiger Cubs lost to the Flyers by forfeit, but with the help of several Flyers playing alongside the Cubs, the game score was only 6-5. Goalie Max Wahl again earned Player of the Game honors for his multiple steals, solid shot-blocking, and steady passing.

The Lion Cubs played Mad Dog even through two plus quarters, forcing a 4-4 tie a minute into the second half. But the counterattack defense fell apart, and the Mad Dogs scored five unanswered to take control. A fourth quarter surge brought the Cubs within two, but the Mad Dogs responded and won 12-7. Mitch Meyer earned Player of the Game honors for his relentless offense, scoring five of the seven goals according to unofficial statistics.

Next Monday is the bragging rights game, as the two Cubs teams square off at 7:35 PM. The game may be moved to another location besides MICDS. If so, players will be notified at practice.
