BUSY WEEKEND FOR VIKINGS ENDS WITH A BIG WIN OVER AURORA

Two league games this weekend against CVCA and Aurora ended with a big win against Aurora on Sunday night at the Pond. 

In Friday nights' game against CVCA at Center Ice, the ending score of 8-2 in favor of the Royals was a disappointing end to the follow-up of an 8-7 OT loss on Wednesday night in Parma.  The Vikings' two goals came from Brad Harcourt and Chaz Gordish (assisted by Shane Saba), both scored in the first period of play.  Despite an almost even number of shots on net (26 for Hoover, 23 for CVCA), the Vikings were unable to get the puck past the Royal's netminder.

Sunday night's game against Aurora went scoreless for both teams through the second period, with excellent netminding on both ends of the ice.  A focused Viking squad took the ice in the third, determined to score.  After good teamwork and puck movement down the ice, Preston Mackert was able to find the back of the net unassisted.  Two more unassisted goals followed, the first by Brad Harcourt with a shot from the point, and the second by Zach Lawson with a glove-side top shelf.  Mackert and Lawson continued the party, with Mackert scoring on a pass from Lawson, and Lawson scoring on a pass from Mackert.  Kirk Greenho had another shut-out performance net.

Next up for the Vikings is Nordonia at home on Saturday at 3:40 pm.  The team will also be honoring the seniors and their parents before the game.  Plan to attend to support our Hoover Vikings!!!!  GO VIKES!!!!
