A slow start didn’t keep the Jaguar Mite #2 team from a strong finish in a Saturday, Oct. 22, loss to Huskies #1.
The 10-2 loss in Rink 3 at Canlan dropped the Jaguars to a final record of 2-4 in the seeding round of the Blue Tier of the Silver Division in the Northern Illinois Hockey League. Seeds will be finalized and the regular-season schedule set following the conclusion of seeding-round play on Oct. 29.
In its previous outing, on Oct. 13, the Mite #2 team had fallen 8-0 to Chicago Hawks #2 at the Darien Sportsplex.
The highlights came for the Jaguars in the second period, when a position swap made by Coaches Bob Ambroffi and Tim Brzezinski during the first intermission paid off.
With 4:14 to play in the stanza, Ryan Louthan was able to get behind the Huskies defense and convert on a clearing pass from Dylan Graziano, who had been moved from center on the Jaguars “yellow line” to defense on the “black line” as the period began.
With 1:06 left on the clock in the second, Evan McDonald, who moved from defense to center in the same switch, found the back of the net in a rebound situation. Trevor Hudak took the initial shot, which rebounded to Jarrett Goodwin, who also put a shot on the goalie, before McDonald picked up and deposited the rebound from that shot for the tally.
McDonald’s goal proved to be the final one of the game, as the Jaguars continued their resurgence by playing the Huskies even in the third period, when neither team scored.
The Jaguars had found themselves at an early disadvantage against the Huskies, giving up three early goals before getting their skates under them. They then held the host team at bay, due in part to some strong defensive play by everyone on the ice, for the next 7:30, until the Huskies notched two more quick goals with around one minute to play in the first period.
Goals for the Huskies, in the first period, were scored at the 9:50 mark, by P. Boisselle; at 9:43, 8:49, and 1:01, by S. Hay; and at 1:16 by N. Clark. In the second, the home team’s goals were at 10:34 and 6:34 by N. Comparetto (with Hay assisting on the first goal); at 5:09, by Hay; and at 3:40 and 3:32 by J. Gurgul.
Luke Brzezinski, who had recorded 24 saves in the loss to Chicago Hawks, was also in net for the Jaguars Saturday and made several strong saves throughout the contest – evoking repeated chants of “Luuuuuuuuke” from Jaguar fans. No officially saves tally was recorded.
When the Jaguar Mite #2 team will next be in action is not yet determined. The first day regular-season NIHL games can be played in Nov. 7.
