PEEWEE NATIONALS 2009 - HASTINGS

The weather was wet and cold in Hastings but the Spitifires made up for that by playing well, reaching the final where they lost out to Boston Bruins.

The highlight of the weekend and probably the best game of the tounament was a semi final clash between the Spitfires and London Street Warriors which the Spitfires eventually won 3-2 with a goal by Charlie Ascott half way through the second period of extra time.

Bailey Chittock & Oli Baldock topped the tournament points scoring list and Bailey made the dream team.

JUNIOR NATIONALS 2009 - BISLEY

The Stansted Jets team travelled to Bisley for the Junior National Championships 2009, finishing a creditable 3rd in the LESHA league, they were drawn a tough group of potential finalists, Oxford and the Wasps, in the qualify rounds. A win against either would mean at least a top 8 position in the country.

It was an early start Saturday morning, first game of the day, to set the standard for all the teams over an exciting weekend.

The oxford team always come well prepared, their Goalie, Hedges, pulling off some outstanding saves against shots from Ross & Sam, in the early onslaughts. Our offensive strategies were proving productive, until an unexpected turnover during a change, led to a goal for Oxford. Again battle was resumed and shots from Nathan were turned aside, only to see a wayward shot creep passed Dave in goal at our end. An unlucky bounce off the roof of the net led to Oxfords 3rd, and the game was sealed, the Jets endeavours to recover the lost goals left our defence exposed, Aaron playing hard to stem the rush, but the game ended 8-0 in Oxfords favour.

The squad regrouped for the second encounter of the day against the Wasps, a tough northern team, who took no prisoners. They were met check for check, as Jenny & Ralph attempted to asserted there dominance in our defensive zone. Shots from Andy, shooting under intense pressure and massive slap shots from Jake were stopped by an exceptional Goalie in the wasps net. Although Zoe pulled off some incredible saves in the second period the score ran out at a 10-1 loss

With the two qualifying games lost, the squads objectives were revised, the target was now to finish 9th, top of the third place teams.

Sunday morning saw us matched in a local derby against the Checkers, this was a no holds barred encounter, with the Checkers living up to their name and dishing out some physical treatment, but the team stood firm and responded with goals from Ross and Sam to open us a commanding lead. Unfortunately a goal mouth incident, in our own end, led to a major injury to Jake, who was taken off to hospital for checkups. Josh stepping up to take his place on the line, ripped in some powerful wrist shots, to add pressure to our attacks. The final result was 6-0, and we had won our first game and got a taste for winning!

The last team to stand in our path were the Hustlers.
Pumped from watching some incredible hockey, the Jets came out at full throttle, no team could have withstood the incredible onslaught, with 3 quick goals from Ross & Sam the game was quickly beyond the Hustlers grasp. Coach Adam now had the opportunity to fully utilize the personnel on his bench and the lines were rolled in quick succession to maintain the impetuous and to keep Gary on his toes, working the gate!. Toby making some strong tackles and setting up attacks. Lee worked hard during his shifts and was rewarded by steering the ball through the keepers legs to score. By now Ross was in flamboyant mood, twisting and turning with the ball, he pivoted backwards at incredible speed into his own end, only to discover our goal in his path, wow where did that come from! It was the biggest check of the day and although he bounced to his skates, that had to have hurt!

Dave in his last appearance in a Jets shirt was determined to keep a clean sheet and was rewarded for his performance by not conceding. It ended up a rampant 6-1victory.

With 2 games won on the second day, our revised mission was accomplished, all the hard work and commitment by the players and coach, over the season had been rewarded, we had finished the top 3rd placed team in the country, 9th.

This was the National Championships, only the most skilful and committed teams are successfully, just maybe this performance can inspire our teams and players, in the future, to achieve greater success, good luck to Sam and the Spitfires in a couple of weeks time.

Well done Warlords, a masterful performance.

SHIRT NO. 13 OFFICIALLY RETURED Photos
Stansted SHC have retired shirt 13 in memory of Nick Gibbon who played in that number and made it his own.
Family, friends and team mates attended a recent memorial event at Dunmow where the Club presented two framed shirts as a mark of respect.

TRIBUTE TO NICK GIBBON
Nicks accident came as devastating news to us here at Stansted Hockey Club. We are a small close knit team and Nick had been part of our lives for the past eight years or so.
To our fledgling club, just starting out, he was a fresh new recruit who quickly asserted himself an a essential part of the team. As he grew in confidence and maturity through the years, he was identified as a team member that could shine above the average player, he was a natural leader and captain. We were also proud that he was consistently selected to represent the club and the Southeast at regional level.

Nick started out as a boy and we saw him grow to a man, he was part of our hockey family, not only to us here at Stansted, but to the hockey world at large, his team mates across the country have expressed there grief and sadness. Nick could always be relied on to give his best for his team, and lead by example, simply getting down to work and never complaining, when things got tough. As a mark of respect and remembrance, we observed a minutes silence before the Giants game on Sunday. We were honoured to be his team mate and friend, we here at Stansted will never forget him.

Head coach Stansted Skater Hockey Club.

31.8.2008 Giants Have Historic Victory Over Warriors.....oops, no they don't!
The Giants played one of their finest games ever against league leaders, the Warriors, dominating the play in the second and third period and frustrating the Warriors whenever they tried to break forward. After goals by Ben O, Ben C and Ricky, the Giants were 3 - 2 up at the 2 minute bell and a historic win seemed to be on the cards......but alas it was not to be, the Warriors came back, scoring two goals in the final minutes, the 2nd with 1 second to go. Credit to the Warriors for some clever tactical play in the final 2 minutes but even more credit to the Giants for their tactics, commitment and level of play throughout the game. Hopefully they will get a chance to play the Warriors again soon and show them that last sunday was not a one off! Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Ross, who played out of his skin, but finally took a hit too many ...!!
