Last Friday night I rushed home from work, skipped dinner, packed up some crackers and juice for my son, and drove an hour to Newmarket to watch the Clarington Green Gaels take on the hometown Saints.
The Gaels came out flat and scored only one goal the entire game despite getting numerous powerplays. Had it not been for the stellar goaltending of Zack Higgins, the game would have been a blowout but as it was, Newmarket had a hard time getting the ball past Higgins. Finally in the third period Newmarket pulled away with the 4-1 win. Then last night, the Gaels travelled to Markham to face the Ironheads and they scored 21 goals in a 21-5 victory. Twenty-one goals! After scoring only 1 their previous game. What the heck happened in Newmarket??? I feel cheated!
Clarington ends their regular season tomorrow night at home against Huntsville. They have already clinched first place in the Mid East Division and at 18-1, they will be the top seed in the Eastern Conference and the league for the playoffs.
