The Junior Report - Edition 21


Warm appreciation to George for his latest contribution to FSB, All credit for this piece goes to him.


The Sheffield Steelers were up against a fife flyers side who were certainly punching above their weight in terms of what was expected of them at the start of the season domestically. They came to the arena on a Sunday night after taking four points off the steelers in league play over two games.

The game started very well for the Steelers when Matt Marquardt fired top shelf within a minute after they had absorbed some very early pressure. This was a welcoming start as it got the game off to a good start and was also influential in the outcome because with their tails high the Steelers then added a second via a slap shot from Ben O’Connor beating the substitute netminder Marr. Andy Iles having to leave the game early due to an injury picked up in the opening minute. The Steelers added a third through Fretter, whose goal helped the Steelers to a thrashing. He carried the puck a long way to roof over Marr, to make it 3-0. 

The second period was more of the same from the Steelers, more goals coming their way. The fourth came via the stick of Miika Franssila, his backhand cross crease pass got stuck under the pad of marr and into the net through the five hole. Steelers added a fifth through Mathieu Roy, his backhand attempt roofed over the top of Marr to give the Steelers a five goal lead. A sixth was added through Liam Kirk, his breakaway was well finished as he went one on one with Marr, he clipped the post on the finish but no one could really care as it was now six nil to the Steelers. Goal number seven arrived late in the period through Colton Fretter as he benefited from a Mathieu Roy pass which meant for a simple tap in from the great Fretter: this was also scored shorthanded. 

Early in the third period Fife got on the board because of the Steelers changing their goalie, Brad Day played excellent but couldn’t quite reach an Isaacs shot that trickled in via the post. Something for the fans from Kirkcaldy to cheer. The Steelers rounded off get another emphatic victory through Tim Wallace. He got on the end of a rebound right in front of Marr to add an eighth. 

Final score at the arena was 8-1 to the Steelers.
