Playoffs Are Here
The Attack, now 2-0 vs Avon River Rats, could wrap it up this weekend. With the weatherman playing havoc Sunday, the away game may be a question mark.
Of note in the other series, is the opening win by Claire Lions in their best of 4 with Fundy. As I said back in November, this league has a lot of surprises in store, and it takes the playoffs to bring the cream to the top!

The Long Road Back
After 3 consecutive losses over the Christmas season; the Attack have exploded this weekend (January 2, 3), steam rolling Clare 15 -1, then rolling into Barrington on Saturday night defeating the host team 11 - 2. The real story is twofold; first their top marksmen are back in the grove; and secondly many of their new players are finding their targets.
Though the 3 previous outings were less than stellar, the lineup was missing several key players who returned home to enjoy the holiday season with family. That is not meant, in any way, to deny the great effort made by those players who played those games against Fundy and Avon. What did happen is the talents of those, who might otherwise not get a chance, was shown to the coaching and management staff.
Great effort over Christmas, but it appears that the 'Attack is Back'!

Rubber Match Decided Saturday
Well the unimaginable happened; the front running Fundy Rhino MU stumbled and took a huge fall at the hands of the Avon River Rats, suffering an 8-2 loss. At the same time Fundy lost Crocker (97) and Wheeler (77) for 3 games each.
Now this is not saying any team is not entitled to a loss, but as I said on a November 10th comment, the bubble sure burst at the hands of the River Rats. Remember, that is following 3 losses in succession against Spryfield. Saturday night's game should be interesting , as the best of 7 face offs of the regular season will be decided.
See you on Saturday night 8pm at the Spryfield Lions Arena.

Spryfield Attack Show 'Gutsy' Determination
Down 0W's and 3L's in their games with Fundy MU Rhino, the Spryfield Attack were watching any possibility of a first place finish slip away. With four games remaining in the season against Fundy, the Attack's fate was in their own hands.
On November 22 at home the Attack put it all together and beat the previously undefeated Rhino 4-1. Then on November 28th, away in Truro and again at home on November 29th the team showed their true determination by defeating the Rhino 4-2 and 3-2 in overtime.
The Spryfield Attack's rise from the ashes is a true testament to the coaches, management and players, all of whom deserve huge credit. Last night's game (November 29th) was a great example. With both their top scorers out due to injury and penalty, the Attack's player depth shone through midway in the 3rd when LeBlanc and DeGooyer tied the game and put it into overtime. Then, Shawn Nehiley at 53 seconds of overtime nailed a drive in the upper right hand corner. What a game! Spryfield Attack supporters and community should be proud of their team.
November 23, 2014
November 23, 2014 The Attack came up with a huge win at a critical time in the schedule 4-1 against Fundy MU Rhino at home. The first period was close checking, but early in the second a 'ringer' off the post and a beautiful goal by Tyler and Justin at the 16:43 mark set the tone for the remainder of the game.
Truro Goalie Matt Caron had a difficult night, while Conner McKenna sparkled in nets for the Attack; stopping a couple of gaming changing shots by Fundy.
In all a great game to watch and a terrific night for Spryfield. We will watch this weekend as the two top teams face off again; in Truro Friday night and home in Spryfield on Saturday.
Don't Miss the team auction on December 6th at 7pm.
November 10, 2014
November 10, 2014 After eleven games and sporting an 8-3 record, with a solid hold on second place, the Attacks fate rests in their own hands. With 4 games remaining against Truro, the Attack must win all remaining games, that is unless the MU Rhino's bubble bursts against one or all of the teams. Even with a wide spread in points, any one of the other three Junior 'C' teams could cut into the Rhino's lead. One sure thing you garner from following league play is the fine calibre of talent on all teams. With 17 games still to play, some teams a few less, the season may have some surprises in store.Don't forget the Spryfield Attack Auction, December 6th at Bubba's Too, Bayers Road Shopping Center, former home of the Red Fox Tavern.

With 8 games under their belt, the Attack now have 5 wins and are setting their sights on Fundy. Goal tending this season has been great, with both Connor and Liam sporting save percenatges of .900 +.Justin Mabe is leading the scoring race in the NSJRCHL with Tyler and Cameron both in double digits as well. Looks like we are all in for a great season.
A quick note to thanks our sponsors for 2014-15. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated by everyone.
October 15, 2014
After 6 games THE ATTACK played to a 3-3 record. With each game the team is getting stronger as players settle into their lines. With the Thanksgiving holiday THE ATTACK, with many out of town players, were forced to settle for a reduced number od players. Justin Mabe leads the league with 12 points (9 goals - 3 assists).
October 2, 2014
League to continue with 5 teams. After an emergency meeting this past Sunday, league executives and owners decided to continue with a 5 team rotation. Amherst Colts decided to take a one year leave of absence from the Juniour C league. Dartmouth's interest will be carried forward to the 2015 season.
September 28, 2014
A tough weekend start for 'The Attack' will see team coaches and players strive to bring the team back to a winning record. The early part of the season allows for a realignment of players and lines and with a GREAT COACHING STAFF and team owner supporters will see great hockey this year.
September 28, 2014
Amherst Colts have announced a one year leave from the Juniour C league. No reason is available although the Nova Scotia executive should provide future information.
On the bright side, an emergency meeting to consider a proposal from Dartmouth principals for a Junior C team to enter the league this year is being held Sunday. More information as it is made available.
