AMERICANS KEEP WIN STREAK ALIVE AT 3 GAMES

Americans Keep Winning Streak Alive at 3 Games After big 12-2 Win Over Toronto Moose

November 15th, 2011

The Orangeville Americans have brought a new level to their game after winning the last 3 straight games. With wins over Algoma, 4th place Vaughn and the Toronto Moose, things are looking up for this young and inexperienced hockey club. After trouncing the Moose 12-2 in their home barn Teen Ranch, coach Fines says it has to do with the work ethic he see's day in, day out at practice. "When you have lost 2 games to a team like the Moose that is something you don't forget. The boys have really come together and with our new additions on the front end and everybody stepping up to help out on defense we are ina great position right now."

After 19 games the Americans have a 7 - 8 - 4 record with 7 of those loses being by only one or two goals and leading heading into the third period. I asked the coach how things have changed. "They just want it now. They realize that in this game mental toughness is everything and that's all it comes down to. Not making mistakes in the third to give them the momentum. Also comes down to our leaders learning how to do their job as captains correctly and keeping the boys focused in tough times."

Americans continue their season with a game in Lefroy this Friday night!
