Jaguar Mite #2 gets into the holiday spirit

Celebrates 7-0 win over Sabres #3

They knew they were having a holiday party after the game.
Jaguar Mite #2, however, apparently felt they needed more to celebrate on Friday, Dec. 16, than just Christmas.
That additional point of holiday cheer proved to be a 7-0 victory over Sabres #3. The win improved the Jaguars’ record to 2-4 in the White Tier of the Silver B Level of the Mite Division in Northern Illinois Hockey League play.
The victory was also the second shutout of the regular season – and third overall – for goaltender Luke Brzezinski and the Jaguar defense. Brzezinski recorded 8 saves on the night.
The game, however, also included at least one regular season first for the Jaguars – the first hat trick. Trevor Hudak performed the feat, tallying his third goal with 6:01 remaining in the third period… and then did it one better, notching his fourth tally about a minute and a half after that.
Following an evenly played scoreless first period, it was Hudak who ignited the Jaguars’ offense like a Yule log on Christmas Eve. Just 11 seconds into the second period, Hudak converted a Jarrett Goodwin pass into a 1-0 Jaguar lead.
That lead grew to 2-0 just 48 seconds later, when Blake Brenczewski tucked the puck just behind the post into the side of the Sabres’ net. Lukas Bomba upped the margin to 3 with his tally at the 4:03 point of the period. The assists went to Hudak and Goodwin.
At the 7:44 mark and again with 6:01 to play in the third, Hudak found the net for the second and third times in the game, both times making good on assists from Bomba. His final goal, on an assist from Nathan Guseman, came with 4:29 to play and brought the score to its final point.
Before that goal, however, Evan McDonald had lit the lamp with 5:03 to play. Brenczewski and Ryan Louthan set up the goal that made the score 6-0.
The Jaguars, who will take part in NIHL’s Cross Ice Jamboree on Sunday morning, Dec. 18, in Addison, hopes to keep the holiday cheer going on New Year’s Eve, when they will usher out the old year with a 1:45 p.m. game at Inwood against the McFetridge Bulldogs.
