MORNING GAMES on DAY 1

A high scoring affair to open training camp. Team Grey outscored Team Blue 8-5. Grey was lead by the line of returning Pontiacs Andy Skoreyko, Greg Hennessey and newly named captain Craig Cuthbert.
In the mornings second game 20 year old American forward Chris Jung opened the scoring for Team Red. Steven Seigo tied it up mid way through the period snapping a shot off the post and in past Zach Weisbach. There was no more scoring until halfway through the second when Marc-Antoine Juneau banged home a rebound. Juneau had 42 goals as a midget last year. Less than a minute later Chris Jung batted down a puck in the neutral zone, moved it passed the last defenceman and snapped it low along the ice beating Landon Noyes, who had just come into the game. Jung scored early and often at the start of last season before the grind of a 62 game AJHL season caught up to him and he was used as an effective energy guy. He looks refreshed and has lots of jump on day one of camp. Juneau’s midget teammate from last year gave team Green the lead again pouncing on a rebound at the top of the crease after Adam Gingas made a couple saves he was unable to stop the third shot with just over a minute left in the second. Less than 40 seconds later Paul Larocque converted on a pass off a 2-on-1 to give team Green a two goal cushion heading into the third. The onslaught continued in the third with Juneau getting his second of the game with a high wristshot. Team Red would record another goal and pull their goalie with a minute left but the game would end 5-3 in favour of team Green.
