The special team for the North Bay Jr. Trappers are the reason that they were able to win over the Kirkland Lake Blue Devils with a score of 5-2. They were able to keep the momentum going with power play goals all night long. According to Tom McCarthy, the head coach for the Trappers, the special team has become a very important part of the production of this team.
The awareness of how the game is going is very important at all points, and it is crucial to know when to rely on the special teams and their contributions. Being ready for that role in the game is really making a difference for the Trappers this season. So far they are off to a remarkable start, and they want to keep it that way.
There were 54 penalties in this game, and that doesn’t even include the 10 minute penalties assessed for misconduct by the players. As a result, there were plenty of trips back and forth to the penalty box. There were almost 600 people in attendance at the game, and they were very in tune to the events going on. Not all of them were happy with some of the calls made by the officials, but that is nothing new with this particular sport.
McCarthy was asked about his take on the calls, and he expressed that he was happy with them. He said you have to allow the calls to go and move to the next play of the game. You simply can’t dwell on if you feel personally that they were right or wrong. One of the leaders of this game for the Trappers was Danny Descrochers with two scores of his own and one assist.
This is only his second game of the season with them. He recently returned to the Trappers from the Sudbury Wolves training camp. He is a great player and many believe he is going to be an extremely valuable asset to the Trappers this season. He is already proving that very early on.
