Fury win @ NMHA tournament Jan 11

The Stittsville Fury went 5-0 in the NMHA tournament to claim the "Champions" title.

It was a long weekend of hockey, but the Fury came through with a perfect record to win their 3rd tournament of the season.

After defeating Meadowvale Friday night by a score of 11-0, the Fury were flying high. An early morning start on Saturday had the Fury facing the Kanata Predators.. A tough game ensued with the Fury coming out ahead by a score of 2-1.

Onto the the second match of the day, third of the tournament, against the Nepean Junkyard Dogs, the host team of the tournament. Stittsville successfully kept Nepean off the scoreboard, winning the game 2-0.

This set Stittsville up for the semis and the Nepean Aces. This was a challenging game, with Stittsville going down in the second period 3-1. Then came the turning point of the tournament for the Fury....they rallied back in the third with 2 beautiful goals to force a shootout. The first two shooters scored while Isaac Faubert stopped both Nepean shooters to win the game. With the momentum swing complete, the Fury were ready to face the undefeated Alymer Raftsmen in the finals.

The Raftsmen were a good skating and puck moving team, but no match for the Fury. Defensively, Stittsville shutdown the Raftsmen, letting only a handful of shots reach Isaac. Offensively, the Fury peppered the Raftsmen goalie with shot after shot and controlling the play for most of the game. Finally, when the buzzer sounded, the scoreboard read Stiitsville - 2, Alymer - 0. A third shutout for the Fury and tournament Champs!!!!

Way to go Fury!
