After sweeping the Hong Kong Typhoon Select team in Nanjing, China last month, the U8 Select Team will put its undefeated 14-0-2 record to the test in Korea on April 6, 7, and 8.  They will face four Seoul-based teams, the Blue Eagles, Suwon Eagles, Iron Eagles and Tiger Sharks over three days of play.

The following month the boys head to Hong Kong for the Hong Kong Hockey 5’s MegaIce tournament. This is the biggest tournament in Asia and will really test the boys’ skills.

The team will be ready though, thanks to some extensive on and off-ice training sessions and two local scheduled games with the Shanghai Stars.

Keep of the amazing work team - we are so proud of you!

Coach Joey

Game 2 ended with a final score of 5-2 in favour of the Thunderbird Black, now 2-0 in the season.  Both teams were short benched with the Shanghai cold and flu season sidelining several players on both sides.  Only 10 skaters for the Bradley/McGuckin bench and 9 for Matts/Lau.  “It’s early in the second half of the season and the boys weren’t ready for all the skating, we need to work on the conditioning”, McGuckin was overheard saying as he left the arena.
