On Saturday February 8th the Shamrocks hosted the Tavistock Titans for the first time this playoff series. Tavistock opened the scoring, but our Shamrocks were quick to even it up, and took the lead two more times before ultimately skating away tied 3-3. Player of the game was Carter Wall. Carter has been playing in a new role as a defender since the start of playoffs and has settled into his role on the blue line nicely. He is a dependable player who was blocking shots, making rushes and staying home when needed, all with a torn ligament in his hand. Congrats Carter, your team is so proud of ...
