The opening round of the SMJHL playoffs will set the stage for our “David” versus “Goliath” showdown as we the St. Louis Scarecrows, a team in rebuilding mode, prepare to face off against the Maine Timber, the formidable favorites and fully built playoff contenders. Despite facing an uphill battle, we Scarecrows approached the playoffs with relentless determination.
In the lead-up to the series, we underwent rigorous training sessions, focusing on fine-tuning our skills and hoping to address our weaknesses. With the guidance of captain Alexa, we diligently analyzed game tapes, identifying strategies to help exploit Maine's vulnerabilities. Balancing intensive preparation with rest was necessary, so, we bonded during movie nights. Our final viewing to help draw inspiration was the classic underdog tale: "Miracle." In Miracle the US players embarked on their hockey journey much in the same way the Scarecrows would. We understood the enormity of the challenge ahead but remained hopeful and hungry! Although the odds may be stacked against us, all of the St. Louis Scarecrows are poised to defy expectations and leave our mark on the SMJHL playoffs. WC: 181 |
