Prompt 1 – As a member of the Up-and-Comers, we were playing the Grizzled Vets for our first matchup. We started the game really strong by using our speed to try to get to the puck quicker than our opponents and it worked to a certain extent, but we were not able to capitalize on our chances and the vets became better at handling the pressure we were putting on them as the game went on. The Vets experienced then started to become really obvious, event if we were technically out skating them, they were quick enough to move the puck before we actually got to them which ended up costing us, since we were using a lot of energy without reaping the benefits of our efforts. Once we got to the third period, the game completely changed and they dominated us from start to finish scoring three goals to get the win by a final score of four to one.
