TOM THUMB WARRIORS VS THE BRUINS
SPIRITED AFFAIR SEES THE TOM THUMBS ON TOP 12-5

March 13th, 2011

The Bruins had one more opponent before the end of the season, the Tom Thumb 3 Warriors visited SOC and brought the game to the Bruins. The Tom Thumbs brought a lot of new tactics that the Bruins have not seen this season. The most common was the constant 5-man puck pressure that the Warriors used to perfection.

In the end, the Warriors continued their stellar season by defeating the Bruins 12-5. Everyone from the players to the parents in the stands had a lot of fun and was definately a memorable occassion for everyone involved.
