🏒 Mighty Pines Wrap-Up 🐲
What an incredible night of hockey at Mighty Pines! After 15 fast-paced round robin games, the intensity never dropped. Each match was short, sharp, and packed with action, with players showing off impressive skills, determination, and growing confidence.
The competition was fierce and evenly matched, with wins, losses, and draws shared across all teams. More importantly, the development of teamwork, communication, and support for one another was outstanding to watch.
The bronze medal match up saw Shenron (green) and Dragonite (orange) go head-to-head for a place in the grand final. Dragonite came away with the win, but Shenron pushed hard right to the final whistle in a fantastic contest.
The grand final between Spyro (purple) and Dragonite was an absolute nail-biter. After 8 minutes, the score was locked at 2–2. A tense 2 minutes of overtime couldn’t separate them… which meant one thing - a shootout! In true Dragons fashion, we’ve seen this story before, and it didn’t disappoint.
After 7 intense rounds, we finally had our winner - Spyro! 🥇
And who could forget our legendary tendies! Ryan and Carys stepped right out of their comfort zones and absolutely crushed it in goal, while Hunter was outstanding as always - shutting down plays and blocking shots like the pro he is. Incredible effort from all three! 🥅🔥
But the real winners were everyone involved - players, parents, supporters, and helpers - all bringing energy, encouragement, and spirit to make it such a special event. What a night!
Final Placings:
🥇 Gold – Spyro (Manager Jesse)
🥈 Silver – Dragonite (Manager Frankie)
🥉 Bronze – Shenron (Manager Sia)
A huge shoutout to our intermediate players who stepped up to coach and manage the teams. They were outstanding mentors, brought great game insight, and helped their teams gel, support each other, and enjoy every moment (while still giving each other a bit of stick along the way!).
Big thanks as well to Pete, Ben, and Lance for reffing, Jeff and Bee for scoring, and all the parents and supporters who got behind the kids and brought the fun and intensity.
An unforgettable event full of passion, teamwork, and great hockey - bring on the next one! 🙌
This event would not have been possible without her generous support from City of Moreton Bay - THANK YOU!
