Lucan Tyke Gold
Lucan Tyke Gold were back in action this past weekend as we hosted Lambton Shores Saturday and travelled Strathroy on Sunday.


We’re now entering our last month of the season so the kids are giving their best efforts to finish off the year on a high note.

In our barn on Saturday we locked horns with a solid Predator team. Our Forwards Sofie Pearn, John Robson, Colin Dalton, Emma Genttner, Brycen Watson and Ethan Lambourn had their wheels going hard as this game’s focus was hustle. Guarding our end on Defense were Jacob Gillard, Lachlan Gilcrest and Roman Chalmers, who all played their usual rock solid game, battling hard for loose pucks clearing our zone. Kohen Wickens made his return to the Gold crease and played great, anticipating shots and pouncing on rebounds. The Predators gained the early advantage on the score board, but Team Gold never gave up and fought back hard trying to even the score. We had some tough luck around the net, hitting the post a couple times and several other near misses. In the end the Pedators held on to take the win, however a great effort from the Lucan squad.

For his hustle on defense, determination and leadership, Jacob was awarded the Hockey Hall of Fame Ambassador of the Game! Super job Jacob, keep up the good work!

Team Gold packed our bags and hit the road Sunday, travelling to Strathroy to battle the Blue Rockets. Lucan iced a full lineup and the boys and girls were fired up to hit the ice! Our Forward line with Kohen Wickens, Sofie Pearn and John Robson terrorized the Strathroy defenders early and often, skating hard, moving the puck up ice and busting through for breakaways. Our other forward line with Brycen Watson, Emma Genttner and Bryce Robichaud were equally as impressive in the hustle department, creating havoc all over ice and numerous great chances as well. Our Defensemen Roman Chalmers, Lachlan Gilcrest, Jacob Gillard and Ethan Lambourn played great, breaking up passes and rushes, clearing our zone and firing booming shots from the point when the opportunity arose.

Colin Dalton was back between the pipes for this game and was stellar, making numerous goal line saves and holding the Rocket snipers at bay. With our Offense storming the Strathroy net, our Defense defending our end like the Alamo, and Colin playing at the top of his game, Team Gold skated to a convincing and well-deserved win.

For his hard work in our end, and instinctively being in the right spot at the right time, Ethan Lambourn was awarded the Positional Player of the Game! For his hustle on forward, determination and positive attitude, Bryce was awarded the Hockey Hall of Fame Ambassador of the Game! Great job Ethan & Bryce, keep up the terrific efforts lads!!

Team Gold’s next game action this coming Saturday morning as we host to the Blackhawks from Point Edward. Go Gold Go!
