Game 3 - The Fire Wins 6-0

Good game last night boys, we didn't play the best team out there so we were not tested to play to our full potential, but we did played well.  One thing I assure you, we will be working on our sportsmanship over the next few weeks.  But you all played well, good win and enjoy the video.

As a reminder, we have practice Thursday and Monday nights for the remainder of the season at 6pm unless you hear differently. I hope all the family had a good time last night, and continue to come out and support the Fire, I know the boys appreciate it.

Have a great rest of the week,

Game 2, Tough Loss - Late Night

We had our first loss last night against the Spiders 2-3 in the latest game we played so far, about a 7pm kickoff.  The boys played well and came close to scoring about 5 more goals, but in the end, between the heat, a game just played on Saturday and the long school week, I think our 7 was just outmatched by the 10 players on the other team.

The Spiders seemed to have more energy than we did down the stretch and with multiple boys on the Fire getting injured, it was just not our night.  I hope you enjoy the video because I'm noticing great improvement in their skill level and I think you will as well.  I think that if we can get our energy back for future games and keep everyone healthy, we will have a great remainder of the season.

Thanks to Gemma Bernard for the great video of last nights game. Keep your heads up and enjoy the season, for as Patrick Bernard stated at the end of the game and you all know is my motto, "it's not about winning or loosing, it's about having fun".

Great Start to the New Season

What a good start to the fall season we had today.  All the boys played great! I was very impressed with the improvements they have all made in the last few months since the spring season.  They are starting the season out with much more control of the ball, talking to one another a little better, envisioning what options they have with the ball and beginning to make quicker decisions.  

I just finished watching the film and I couldn't take my eyes off it, the game in review was awesome. There were some technical difficulties with the film in the second quarter, so I'm not sure if we won 5-2 or 6-2, but either way, it was a great game and a great win. Special thanks to Nora for recording the game. I hope you all enjoy.

Way to go Fire!

The Season Begins Tomorrow

Just a reminder that the first game of the season is tomorrow at 11:15am on Field 3 at the Y.  Make sure you're there early, 11am to warm up and have the boys drink plenty of water before hand. We have a great team this year with one new addition, Thomas who is already beginning to prove that his game is much bigger than his size.
Bring all your friends and family out to cheer on The Fire, it should be a good one.
