Pond Rockets and Mission = SUCCESS!

 

 Pond Rockets Hockey would like to thank Mission for being a wonderful sponsor and supplying all the 1st place awards.  We did what we could with very limited time at TRH over the Open House weekend of April 24-26.  Working with and along side Peter Dale and USA Clinics TRH was a fun filled atmosphere all weekend long.  The tourney maxed out with 16 teams in 4 different divisions!

 

 Starting with the 18u division, the Valkon Patriots took top honors beating the Detroit Mission Stars 93’s 6-1.  Ryan Alman took home the MVP leading his team with 7 goals and 3 assist for the tourney!  Jamie Daniels had a stellar tourney only allowing 6 goals the entire tournament.

 

 One of the most exciting games of the tournament was the 30+ Final between the DMS Masters and the Solar Bears.  The Solar Bears jumped out to 2-1 first period lead before it seemed they just ran out of gas.  The DMS Masters scored the only 2 goals of the second period which would be enough to win the 30+ Division 3-2.  Dean DeAngelo took the MVP scoring 2 goals including the game winner in the finals.

 

 The Bobs Marlies seemed to be too much for any team to handle in the Bronze division.  They beat the Czech Republic 7-3 in the Finals.  Nick Peasant was the MVP as he scored the game winner in the finals!

 

 One of the most talented divisions yet in a Pond Rockets tourney was the Gold Division.  It was a stellar match up between the Motor City and Assault and the Poop Patrollers.  It was a tail of 2 tired teams.  The Motor City Assault played in 2 tournaments in the same weekend!  Traveling back in forth from Joe Dumars Fieldhouse and TRH all weekend.  Compare to the iron man team of Poop Patrollers, playing with just 4 guys in every game of the tournament.  Poop Patrollers defeated the Motor City Assault in round robin play 8-7.  That was enough motivation for the Assault to play at the top of their game giving the extra juice that was needed to pull off a 6-4 Finals victory. 

 

 Congratulations to all the teams that came out for yet another very fun weekend!  See you all very soon.   Keep checking back to www.pondrockets.com
