OD’s DareDevils Winter Wars Synopsis

by Melissa Alcorn

What a great weekend of hockey!! While we didn’t come home with medals or trophy’s we saw some great competition and played some tough teams. It was great to hear from the State Wars director how impressive our teams talent is coming from a small area of Northern Colorado, your kids worked hard to get that recognition. Thanks to all of our parents who had early morning drives this weekend and tired kids this morning, with out your support our players wouldn’t be such great kids. Thanks also to our coaches and team managers who took off early from work or school and who spent lots of time on the benches and the bleachers this weekend, Thank You for all your time!

Here is the weekend wrap up:

Our U10 Team had a rough start, with 5 skaters on Friday against one of the toughest teams in the tournament, but kept playing hard all weekend. We are very proud of their 4th place finish in the 1997 age group and they should be too considering that 90% of the team are 1998’s and that the last game against the Scorpions was a tie and that team took first place in the tournament. Way to go!!!

Final standings:

1st-Florida Scorpions; 2nd -Colorado Black Bears; 3rd-St. Louis Cobras; 4th -OD’s DareDevils;

Our U12 1995 team also had mostly 1996 age players in the 1995 age group and took a very respectable 3rd place, loosing their playoff game to the Crash Dummies who took home 1st place in the tournament.

Final Standings:

1st-Crash Dummies; 2nd-Wolverines; 3rd-OD’s DareDevils;

The U14 teams played some tough competition in the 1994 and 1993 divisions. The 1994 team had two tie games and a win over the St. Louis Cobra’s. Their playoff game against the Cobra’s was a heartbreaking overtime loss and was the game to watch in the 1994 division. The Cobra’s went on the win the Championship with a mercy over the Wolverines leaving the DareDevils 1994 team with 3rd place. The 1993 team played hard in their playoff game loosing to the Pazimps who took second in the Championship game, leaving the 1993 team with 5th place. The competition for this age group looks fierce this year and the U14’s are looking forward to playing some of these teams again.

Final Standings 1994:

1st-St. Louis Cobras; 2nd-Wolverines; 3rd- OD’s DareDevils

Final Standings 1993:

1st-Wolverines; 2nd-Pazimps; 3rd-CO Wild; 4th-Mustangs; 5th OD’s DareDevils
