No Bounces to Start Tournament
First Tournament of the year for the Junior Varsity squad in beautiful Kizbuehel, Austria. Mexican National Goalie Richard Albrecht would get the start but it would be one of those days that everything would go wrong. After a high intensity start and very physical first period the Junior Varsity would out shoot LA1 11-5 however trail 3-0 after one. The pucks seemed to be bouncing for LA1 who worked very hard and deserved every bounce but for the Stars it was very frustrating especially for Albrecht. After 3 more quick goals to make it 6-0 Richard was pulled and Dieber played the rest of the game. It was one of those games where every rebound ended up on the opponents stick and in the net. For Albrecht, who seemed to blame himself for the goals, it was just one of those games that can happen at any level and can be a valuable learning experience if dealt with properly. Siebastian Habernig would fire a puck past Raphi Ungar to open the tournament scoring for the Junior Varsity but it would not be enough on this day. LA1 added 2 more to make the final 8-1.
