(The following is a posting from April 2016)
IN NOVEMBER 2015, THE STARS U18 TEAM WON THE EJEPL U18 SPLIT SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEN THE CHC U18 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN BACK TO BACK WEEKS.
THE BOYS HAD NOT SKATED TOGETHER SINCE.
THE TEAM GOT BACK TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME EARLY LAST WEEK.
COACH MARK WILHELM HAD TO GET THIS TEAM READY TO SKATE AGAINST THE BEST TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY IN JUST A FEW DAYS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY COACH WILHELM WAS UP TO THE TASK AND THE TEAM WAS FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS BY SUNDAY.
TODAYS GAME STARTED A LITTLE LATE AND AFTER A SCORELESS FIRST PERIOD, THE ST.CLAIRE SAINTS JUMPED OUT TO A 1-0 LEAD EARLY IN THE SECOND.
THE STARS (ANTONEAU) TIED IT UP, JUST OVER A MINUTE LATER WITH A GOAL OFF THE DRAW IN FRONT OF THE SAINTS NET.
THE STARS (SCHLICHTIG) SCORED THE WOULD BE GAME WINNER WITH 13:04 LEFT IN THE THIRD PERIOD.
THE STARS ADDED AN EMPTY NET GOAL TO SEAL THE DEAL 3-1.
IT WAS A GREAT TOURNAMENT PERFORMANCE BY STARS GOALIE (VOIGHT) AND CENTER TYLER ENGLISH, WHILE HIS MOM WATCHED FROM HER HOSPITAL BED.
IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE SEASON FOR FIRST YEAR COACH MARK WILHELM. ONE WHICH MAKES FOR COACH OF THE YEAR! THERE IS NOT MUCH MORE YOU CAN DO FOR AN ENCORE!
PICTURES WILL BE POSTED TO THE WEBSITE ONCE THEY BECOME AVAILABLE
