Game 1

Drew and his Flint Jr. Firebirds teammates travelled down to Ann Arbor tonight to take on another team from Flint, the Great Flint Hockey Association Ice Raiders. The Ice Raiders are a newly formed team, much like the Firebirds were last season, and it showed on the ice. Though they had their moments, it was the Firebirds who would dominate the action on the ice. The Firebirds scored on a tap-in with just under 12 minutes to play in the period, and never looked back, scoring four more goals (including a power play goal) in the period. They would carry a 5-0 score with them into the first intermission.

Things slowed dramatically in the second period, with just a single goal scored. It didn't come until there was 6 minutes remaining, but it was another goal in favor of the Firebirds. From there, the only real excitement was the lone penalty of the period, which was against the Firebirds as well. The period would end with a score of 6-0.

The action picked up in the third period, but by this point the game was already decided. The Jr. Firebirds would tack on three more goals this period, with the first being a power play goal thanks to a wrister by Drew. When the dust settled, the Firebirds walked away with a 9-0 victory in the opening game of the Ring of Fire Tournament.
