Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club Website - Blizzard Sharks 2BB team wins gold

Oh what a feeeeeling!!!! It all began with a Bronze medal at the Calgary Christmas tournament and ended with Gold in Lethbridge for the provincials with another Gold for the season finale sandwiched in between. The weekend in Lethbridge for the provincials was the most exciting round robin of games. The boys remained focused on their goal of getting a medal and doing the Blizzard Soccer club proud. Saturday morning we rose bright and early to face our first competitors at 9 am. The score at the half was a gloomy 4 - 1 for them. After some inspiring words from the 3 coaches the boys rose to the challenge and ended up winning the game 6 - 5. The second game was another "come from behind by 2 goals" challenge for the fellows who still ended up finishing the game with a 7 - 3 score in our favour. The third game was the most challenging as we were going head to head with the Calgary Celtics. At the half we were all tied up at 2 and by the end of the game we were still tied at 2. The game carried into a shoot-out where our first two shots missed, but flying Jordan saved both of their 2 shots. The third, fourth and fifth shots ended in the Celtic net with Jordan saving one of their shots securing our chance at Silver or Gold. The gold medal game was definately the season nail biter. At half time the score was tied at 0. At about 7 minutes into the second half, Brett with the support of his team-mates scored the game winning goal. By the end of the game the score remained 1 - 0 for us, putting the gold medal for the boys division 2BB around the necks of the Calgary Blizzards. WAY TO GO MOMS,DADS,PLAYERS&COACHES!!!
