Timberwolves Diary: Wrapping Up Before Christmas

By William Schofield

Team News
This weekend we have a 2 game weekend. We travel back to Campbellton Friday night to play our division rival in what is sure to be a good game at 7 at the Memorial Civic Centre. Last time we were there, we beat them 4-3 in a shootout thriller and led the division series 3 games to 1. 

Saturday night we are back home at the Miramichi Civic Centre, one of the top teams in the league, the Edmundston Blizzard. Last time we played them we lost 5-4 in overtime. With only playing them twice this year, we are split a game apiece between and are expecting a fast hard hitting game Saturday night at home.

Personal Update
This was a pretty easy week at school only having a few tests to do. Hoping for a good last week of school before the Christmas break and enjoying the time off!

William Schofield is a grade 12 student at Blackville School and plays for the Miramichi Timberwolves.

Eagles Win Their First Game in NBIAA Northern Hockey League Play.

By Keaton Walls

Landon Coughlan, Defenceman for the Eagles
The Blackville Golden Eagles headed to PLM (Caraquet) to face off in the first game of the home and home on Tuesday, December 8. The boys were looking for redemption after a tough loss in the nest on Sunday, November 29. 

In the first, the boys were flying and scored two quick ones on the power play. Scoring in the first for the Eagles was Preston who cracked the goose egg and Macaully popped the second one for the Eagles. The Eagles lead after the first 20 minutes.

In the second, the boys were starting to get into penalty trouble half way through and throughout the rest of the game. PLM scored two goals, but the Eagles bounced back with goals coming from Caiden and Jacob scoring with 0.2 seconds remaining in the second period. The Eagles were leading 4-2 after the second.
Preston and Macaully Gillespie, forwards for the Eagles.

In the third, Blackville struck first with another goal from Jacob. On the 5 on 3, PLM scored to regain momentum then followed with another one. As the third went on, the penalties kept coming, but BHS scored a sixth goal on a 4 on 4 coming from Jaden Vickers. PLM then scored with 5 minutes remaining in the third, but the Eagles held on to win the game by a score of 6-5. They are now 1-2 in NBIAA Northern Hockey league play.

The boys play the second game of the home and home tonight at 7:30 at the Tom Donovan Arena. The Eagles are looking for two in a row tonight. Come out and support your boys in blue.

They also demonstrated very good manners and always displayed a positive attitude.




The 3-5 class of the month was Madame. M. Hachey's 3/4 split. They were also chosen for following school rules and maintaining a friendly and well-mannered classroom environment. They constantly used their manners and always remained cheerful.

Timberwolves Diary: Big Division Rival Tilt

Team News

This weekend is a good and short weekend for us as we head to Campbellton for a Friday night game versus our division rival, the Tigers. This is the third time we are playing them spitting a hand apiece between them, but beating them 8-3 last time at home which was one of our best team games this year. 

This is the first time we are heading to Campbellton this year to play; it should be a good game and a little different playing on the Olympic-size ice. Either than that it is a pretty quiet weekend with just one game because our away game in Fredericton was canceled due to Fredericton still being in the orange zone, but that will be made up on a later date. 

There are many question marks around the league regarding what is going on and the limited number of the teams that can play, but, for us, we are lucky enough to play and are the only junior hockey league able to play in the Maritimes during the outbreak in the province. So we just got to wait and see what the league says, but make every game we play count - especially the ones versus our division rivals like Campbellton.

Personal Update
I have been back home for over a month now and things are finally starting to fall back into place, and I’m used to my new daily routine. Hoping to do well and finish strong in school and hockey before Christmas break.

Students Raise Over $500 for Christmas Giving Tree

Blackville School students raised over $500.00 on Thursday. Students donated $2.00 each so they could wear their pyjamas. 

The funds will go toward a District-wide effort to raise money for the Christmas Giving Tree hosted by 95.9 Sun FM radio station. 

This is the fifth year for the event and Max Aitken Academy made a special call out to other schools in the District because raising the necessary funds has been difficult with COVID-19 restrictions.

The Giving Tree provides a gift to 500 senior citizens who reside in nursings homes. The goal is to raise $5000.00.

Timberwolves Diary: Another Two Game Weekend

Team News

This weekend we head to Edmundston to play the very strong Edmundston Blizzard. This team has a 5-1 record so far after 6 games. We were the only team that was able to get the win against Edmundston this year beating them 3-2 abs, spoiling their home opener in front of a sold out crowd. 

Edmundston has one of the strongest fan bases in the league and sells out every game, which makes it a hard game for the road team to win. So, it should be a good challenge for us and definitely a good game that means a lot in the standings. 

Saturday night we head back home for a rescheduled game vs. the Grand Falls Rapids at the Civic Centre. Due to Fredericton going back into the Orange zone the league was forced to reschedule our home game against them until a later date. This is the first time we welcome Grand Falls into our home barn beating them 7-6 in a shootout last weekend at their home rink. They will definitely be out for revenge Saturday night. It will be a good game for sure; game time is at 7 pm.

Personal update
I’m finally all caught up with my school work and ready for a few big test s and assignments coming up in the next couple of weeks. I hope to help out the team anyway possible in another big two game weekend when points are very important, especially during these tough times with the COVID-19 protocols and everyone’s unsure of what’s going to happen next.

Eagles Hockey Pre-Season Comes to an End

Grade 12 student Preston Gillespie 
had a goal in every pre-season hockey game 
As the Senior boys hockey team's pre-season has come to an end, the regular season begins on Sunday. The boys finish with a not so good record of 1 win and 4 losses. 

The boys are in a new league due to Covid-19. This new league is a mixture of AA and AAA of all the teams in the north.

In the first game of the year, the boys went to WAL - Tracadie. It was a tough first game and was an eye opener for the boys. The final score was 9-3.

The second game was in Renous and the boys played PLM - Caraquet. They started the game flying and finished the game the same way. The boys won 6-4. The third game the boys sent off to PLM and couldn’t do the same. They lost by a score of 6-4. 

The final two preseason games were against JMH. The team was not playing their best and the scores showed. The first game the boys lost 9-3, and the second game 10-2.

Preston Gilliespie had a goal in every pre-season game. 

The boys are looking to start the regular season off with a win against WAL this Sunday in Renous, at 2:15.

Timberwolves Diary: Two Big Games this Weekend

Team News

This week in the Timberwolves Diary we are hoping for a good weekend of hockey with 2 big games coming up on the weekend. Friday night we travel to Grand Falls to play the struggling Rapids who are still trying to find their way and get something going. So, it should be a good game in front of a very patient fanbase that they have up there in Grand Falls. 

Saturday night we are back on home ice to face our division rival, the Campbellton Tigers. We are hoping for a better performance compared to last weekend when they blanked us 3-0 on home ice on Saturday night. These games are crucial if we want home ice for playoffs this year,.We cannot lose games Vs. division teams if we want to finish first in our mini division.

Personal Update

I am hoping for a good weekend of hockey and hope to help the team out as much as possible in whatever role I play this weekend. School-wise I am quickly settling into going to school everyday and making sure I’m caught up with all my work for every class. It’s definitely been a change from going every second day to school in Bathurst to going everyday in Blackville. For the most part, however, I am going only half days because of hockey.

KD Cup Tradition Continues for Second Year

Last week the elementary soccer Teams 1 and 2 competed in the second annual KD cup. This event was created last year as a result of Renous winning Kraft Hockeyville. 

They hit the field at 4:00 PM and the action was steady until the game was over. It consisted of four five minute shifts for each half with five on five. 

The final shift was a free for all with all players of each team on the field at the same time. It was a hard fought battle but Team 1 came out on top with a 6-3 win.

"Both teams improved and played hard. They both show promise for the Eagles in the future," said Coach Mrs. Cortes.

As the MHL season is in its pre-season and the regular season is just around the corner, we have some local players on the roster this year. One of them is Daniel Moody, a Blackville School alumnus.

Moody was then traded to the Chicoutimi Saguenéens during the 2018-2019 season. He finished the season their and then began the 2019-2020 season with them, but then got traded once again to Baie-Comeau Drakkar. 

He played 6 games there, and is now returning to his home province to play with the local junior A team, the Miramichi Timberwolves.

Moody is looking forward to returning to his home province and local city. 

“Im pretty excited,” said Moody. “Having been away for the past three years it will be nice to play in front of friends and family once again in my hometown."

"I'm looking to enjoy this time, as it’s my last year of eligibility for junior hockey,” he added. 

Moody is already thinking about his plans after junior hockey.

“Playing at the university level would be a great fit for me. Playing major junior has given me the opportunity to continue pursuing a university degree while playing at a high level.”

You can watch Moody play at the Miramichi Civic Centre for the Miramichi Timberwolves.
