The two team reps then participated in the Shoot-out completion. The week prior we had a team completion. The top goalie and player in the completion would earn the right to take part in the Shoot-out. Bobby M. was the winning goalie and Joel M. was the winning shooter. The competition was a combination of an obstacle course and a shoot-out. The boys represented the Irish very well. Both boys were in the lead during the obstacle course but lost their edges on the final turn. Bobby M. played great in the shoot-out, and Joel M. won the competition for the shooter. Great work boys!
