The North Star Wolves played a very hardworking Holy Names squad last Thursday afternoon (Jan. 16).  


North Star opened the scoring in the first period on a perfectly placed shot by Tyler Lamarche assisted by Emily McGuire.


Holy Names tied it up early in the second but the Wolves answered with a go ahead goal by Danica Barron (her first high school goal) assisted by Skylar Dion.  The pesky Knights team pulled even with a goal of their own and then Tyler Lamarche scored her second of the game on a great unassisted effort.  But the Knights wouldn’t go away.  They scored two quick goals in the third to take the lead for the first time in the game. 


The “Never Quit” Wolves scored the equalizer with the goalie with 1:20 to go.  June Buchner scored the big goal assisted by Kierstyn Baillargeon to gain a hard fought point.  


The coaches were once again very happy with the effort and heart of this team.  Although we seemed to be a little sloppy in our own end at times we were able to salvage a point.  We have been stressing to them to play with urgency from the opening faceoff to the final buzzer.  We’re trying to stress there is a fine line between urgency and panic and to try not to force plays that are not there. 


Ava Mayrand was named player of the game and will be hanging with “Henry the Hedgehog” at school.  Carsyn Atkinson played a good game in goal making a key stop on a penalty shot during the game.  The Wolves will now break for exams and get ready for their final three games in February before playoffs begin.   


On Jan. 13, the Wolves girls hockey team visited the Atlas Tube Centre to take on the Belle River Nobles. The Wolves opened the scoring on a great shot by Cierrah Carter assisted by Lorelei Gatti and Kierstyn Baillargeon.  


Belle River quickly got the equalizer in the first period but the Wolves answered right back on another screamer of a shot by June Buchner, assisted by Lamarche. About midway through the second period Baillargeon scored an unassisted goal to put us ahead for good.  


It was another very solid effort from start to finish and there was no letting up from the opening face-off to the final buzzer. Grace DeThomasis played another great game in goal for the Wolves. Our goaltending and team defence has been outstanding through six games only giving up a stingy ten goals.  Our offensive numbers are starting to heat up as the season progresses and they are Buchner and she spent all day Tuesday with our mascot “Henry the Hedgehog.” Great effort again by the Wolves.
