Strong Start for the Season
This year’s 12U BTHL team had not practiced as a team prior to the Buckeye Travel Hockey League seeding tournament. Still, with nine players returning, they were expected to make a strong showing.


The seeding tournament consists of a series of four 25-minute games played with a running clock, intended to guide the formation of divisions for the league season. Athens swept their four games. The passing game was evident, although the players have yet to get used to how everyone has grown in size and speed over the summer. New players Luke and Arijs  meshed well with the veterans. Shutouts in the non-standard format of the seeding tournament do not count for the Zero Club, and the meager two goals allowed in 100 minutes of play were as much due to Athens’ control of the ice as the prowess of the goaltending.  Still, Ian had a solid performance between the pipes, and was 3 for 4 against breakaways. Congratulations to Caden and Jadon on hat tricks in games 3 and 4, respectively.
