Flyers looking for elusive first win

The Frontenac flyers went into Sunday night’s (Nov. 1) game against the Picton Pirates hoping to nail that elusive first win of the season. The Flyers’ offence came on strong in the 3rd period scoring two goals but it was too little too late to close the Pirates’ early lead. A win was not to be and the Flyers lost the game 9-2 .

A somewhat frustrated Coach Jeff Denna said after the game, “It was not a great effort. It seemed like nobody wanted to go near the puck and nobody wanted to hit a body. I told the team after the 2nd that it just doesn’t work that way.”

Flyer Myke Steeves felt the same way and said after the game, “We came out flat footed and they scored a minute into the game which is always a hard pill to swallow and when we finally started fighting it was too late.”

Still, Steeves was looking forward to Tuesday’s (Nov. 3) upcoming game against Napanee, who beat the Flyers by just one goal at their last tryst. He said with confidence, “We can beat them.”

The Flyers next home game is against the Amherstview Jets at 7pm on Nov.8 at the Frontenac Community Arena.
