Well this weekend was a lively set of games between the Tampa Juniors and Eels . The two teams exchanged a pair of home and away games and these games came right down to the final buzzer. On Friday Tampa at home defeated the Eels in what many considered an upset win. Not the Eels players or coaches. Tampa is a solid squad and every game will be played hard each and every shift each and every period. You cannot take them for granted.

Well Sunday was a lot more of the same. Each line each defensive pairing and both netminders battled every second of that game. The Eels however were not to be denied. They elevated their game to even greater heights and proved too strong for their cross state rivals. In the end the Eels were victorious and defeated Tampa 4-3.
