The 92's opened up against the Florida Everblades, a team that had beaten them in Silversticks.  Hitting a stride early the Flyers jumped to a 3-0 lead.  The scoring was started by an unassisted laser from defenseman, Jimmy Smith at 8:53 in the first period.  A little less than three minutes later, Bryan Karlovitz feathered a breakaway pass to Sean Driscoll who buried the second tally.  Brian Christie capped off the Junior Flyer scoring for the period on the power play by sinking a rebound off of another Smith blast. 

     Running into penalty trouble, the Flyers allowed Florida's deadly power play to tie the score and, on a 4-4 situation, retreated to a 5-4 deficit.  They tied it back up with Christie's second of the day and second on the power play from Karlovitz and Tyler Moll.  Connor McStravick sealed the victory at 3:44 of the third period on the power play from Jeremy Vernon and Sam Leech.  Stellar net minding by Kevin Probst kept the wall up and the Flyers rolled to a 5-4 victory.  

      The team's second challenge of the tournament came later that night when they faced the storied program from Shattuck Saint Mary's (one of the pre-tournament championship favorites).  The Flyers dug an early 0-2 hole within the first five minutes of the game.  In similar fashion to their morning game, the team did not panic and kept grinding it out.  Connor McStravick led the scoring with an unassisted slap shot from the top of the right circle that beat the Shattuck net minder clean on the far side.  The Flyers took the lead away from Shattuck in the balance of the first with goals by Ryan Frear, from McStravick and Smith, and, another from McStravick from Tyler Moll and Zach Lazarro. In the second period, Brian Christie netted his first of the game off of a pass from Karlovitz.  Shattuck started the third period off with a goal at the 1:14 mark.  This was immediately answered by a howitzer blast from Sam Leech, assisted by Christie. An insurance goal scored by Dan Dupell from Moll capped off the scoring and cemented the Jr Flyers victory at 6-3. Justin Fielding outstanding play gave the Flyers a chance to win.

     Unfortunately, the Flyers missed their wake up call and were trounced by home town favorites and semi-finalist Team Illinois 0-6.  TI started work on their power play within 15 seconds of the game.  Following ten more minutes of penalty killing found the Jr Flyers down by 4 at the end of the first.  TI scored two more in the second. To their credit, the Flyers kept fighting and held TI scoreless in the third. 

     Later that day, the team rebounded to annihilate the London Knights 6-1. This was a true team effort as all 6 goals were scored by six different players: Christie (Leech), Dupell (Karlovitz), Driscoll (McStravick, Christie), Frear (Leech), McStravick (Vernon), Smith (Dupell, Wing).  Tournament Notes: The Jr. Flyers dropped their consolation game with a shortened bench the following morning ending off the weekend 3-2. Overall it was a great tournament and a great experience for the 92's.
