X-mas Break

It was a roller coaster x-mas break for the Mariners. Days before the break senior and leading scorer Billy Muxworthy was removed from the team.

The Friday prior to the break the boys traveled to ESA getting an easy win.

Then came a week off followed by two tournaments in 6 days.

Fundy hosted the Holiday Mariner Cage Classic on the 29th and 30th of Dec. The six team tournament saw Fundy lose two more starters to injury and end up playing a tough schedule of Simonds, Grand Manan and Fredericton. The short handed Mariners ended up o-3 while the tournament champion was St. Stephen going 4-0 and posting wins over Grand Manan, Simonds and Campobello twice.

The final weeked of the break Fundy visited the Hartland Huskies to attend their tournament.

In the opening game Fundy had a rough first half but came on strong late to lose a tight game to Cambridge Narrows. In the evening game the Mariners faced the hosts and played their best game of the break, rolling to a 20+ point victory. In the consolation game against Miramichi Valley the Mariners showed the toll of playing with 8 players 6 times in 6 days. After a listless first half the Mariners showed pride in a second half charge to end up losing by 14.
