    Flint had a bit of an issue filling out their U10 team this year, only able to secure three skaters and a goaltender. Hamilton still wanted to play, and several ideas were thrown around to make it work. The final decision was to take the ten youngest U12 players and let them play for the U10 team as well. Drew was one of those young U12 players, so he returned to the ice after the completion of his first game to play once again. This game was remarkably similar to the U12 game that just concluded. The Hamilton team led 3-0 after one in both games, and the second period of each was played evenly, this time with each team scoring twice. The third period of each game was all Hamilton, though this one was less dominate than the prior game, with Hamilton outscoring the Flint team by two goals. The final score was a 7-2 win for the Canadians. Drew spent the entirety of this game on defense, which is not his most intuitive position, but where he will be spending a bunch of time with his travel team this upcoming season, so in that regard this was a good experience for him.
