Jr A Flyers start 2015 / 16 season
September 9, 2015 · 0 Comments
The Orangeville Junior A Flyers started the 2015 /16 season on Saturday (Sept. 6) but fell short of what they hoped to achieve in their home opener against the Wellington Dukes.
The first two periods were a disaster for the boys in Orange beginning with five unanswered Wellington goals in the first period.
Two of those goals were on powerplays and one was short-handed.
Going into the second frame the Flyers were again overwhelmed when Wellington continued to score notching five more goals before the Orangeville team could net one of their own.
It wasn’t until the third period that the Flyers came alive when they returned to score four goals in the final frame while shutting down the Dukes.
It was too late to get back in the game at that point and the Flyers had to settle for a 10-5 loss in their first outing of the season.
The Flyers have 20 names listed on the roster including a few familiar ones returning from last season.
On the bench this year is returning head coach Jamie Caruso.
Caruso had a successful first year with the team last season leading the squad to a second place finish in the West division with a 25-29 record – a huge improvement over the previous year.
The Flyers will be up against the To- ronto Patriots in a road game on September 9, then face the Milton Icehawks on September 11.
They will be back on home ice at the Alder Street arena on Saturday, September 18, to host the Toronto Patriots.
Game time is 7:00 p.m.
