The road to the Championship!
It has been an exciting final round of hockey for the Fritz Novice Reps. After putting Drayton and Goderich out we are on our way to the finals against the Shallow Lake Lakers. Once again our boys and girls have kept us on the edge of our seats in exciting back and forth action that has kept us going to the final buzzer.

In Game 1 we travelled to Shallow Lake. A quick goal for Walkerton right off the start pumped up the kids and fans and seemed to set the pace for action packed, end - to end play. Shallow Lake was not about to give up that easily, and it seemed that when we scored they scored. Fortunately for us, Walkerton scored goal # 4 to give the Capitals a 4- 3 win and have that first game for the best of 5 series under our belt.

Game 2 brought us back to a Home Town Crowd. The Fritz novice's delivered another thrilling game. Right from the first puck drop our Capitals came out strong. Three goals for Walkerton and a scoreless game for Shallow Lake heading into the third period, we thought victory was ours. Heading into the third period Shallow Lake turned it on and in one shift scored two quick goals. Another goal for the Lakers tied the game up and ended the third period in a tie. Over Time it was. In a 10 minute sudden death OT period, this game became even more intense. Both teams gave it their all and never gave up and played a very strong defensive game. Both goalies protected their net after several shots and stops.  It was great hockey to watch. With only 19 seconds left in the OT period Walkerton put it between the pipes to skate away with a 4-3 win for Game 2.
