With 7-2 win over Sabres, Jaguars alone atop standings
In the “Farmer in the Dell,” it is the cheese that stands alone.
Apparently Jaguar Mite #2 could now be called the cheese, since after its 7-2 win over Sabres #3 on Sunday, Jan. 8, it stands alone atop the White Tier of the Silver B Level of the Mite Division in the Northern Illinois Hockey League. The Jaguars now have 10 points on the season, putting them 2 points ahead of Jets #1, Bruins #2 and Maniax #1.
If the Jaguars are cheese, however, it would be best to assume that they are just plain “Gouda,” since Sunday’s win was their fourth straight victory. The streak dates back to Dec. 16, when the Jaguars topped the same Sabres team 7-0, and also includes a 4-2 New Year’s Eve win over Bulldogs #2 and a 7-5 win Saturday, Jan. 7, over the previously unbeaten Jets #1.
What has been clear during the streak is that the Jaguars are not Swiss cheese, as there have been few holes in the Jaguars defense – or offense, for that matter. That was evident again on Sunday, as the Jaguars jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
Lukas Bomba scored for the Jaguars on a shot from just inside the blue line less than three minutes into the game. Ryan Louthan scored in similar fashion with 2:54 to play in the opening period, lifting the Jaguars to a 2-0 lead.
The Sabres cut the margin in half before the end of the period, with Ryan Burk scoring at the 1:08 mark on assists from Connor DeTurris and Ian Gall.
The second period, however, was all Jaguars as they scored early and often, led by their big cheese, Trevor Hudak, who tallied his second hat trick in as many nights. Before Hudak got into the scoring column, however, it was Blake Brenczewski who lit the lamp, converting an Evan McDonald assist just 1:04 in.
Hudak lifted the Jaguars lead to 4-1 at the 5:07 mark, and to 5-1 with 1:28 to play. Both goals were unassisted, as was the Jarrett Goodwin tally that closed out scoring in the second period with just :43 to play.
The Jaguars and the Sabres played even in the third period, as Jaguar Coach Bob Ambroffi shuffled the deck by moving defensemen to the front lines and dropping forwards into defensive roles for much of the period.
The Jaguars margin grew to 7-1 with 7:17 to play as Hudak converted a Goodwin assist to finish off his hat trick and the Jaguars’ scoring. The Sabres added a goal with 5:29 to play off the stick of Burk, who was assisted by Matthew O’Hara, to close out the scoring.
The Jaguars will next be in action at the Detroit Motown Cup Tournament, where they begin play at 1:20 p.m. (EST) Friday, Jan. 13, against the Canton-Akron Penguins at the Berkley Ice Arena. The Jaguars will also be in action at 6:30 p.m. (EST) on Friday, against Barrie Jr. Colts BMW at the Ice Box Sports Center.
The Tournament continues for the Jaguars at 10:50 a.m. (EST) Saturday, Jan. 14, when they take on the St. Jude Knights at Dearborn University of Michigan Ice Arena.
Depending on their record in the first three-tournament games, the Jaguars will play at 7, 7:15 or 7:20 a.m. (EST) on Sunday, Jan. 14, with hopes of advancing to the championship at 1 p.m. (EST) that afternoon.
The Jaguars will be back in NIHL action on Saturday, Jan. 21, when they travel to Dyer, Ind. to take on Maniax #1 at 11:10 a.m. The Jaguars’ next home game is at 5:15 p.m. Sunday.
