WEEK 2 SUMMARY

Malton Mavericks def T-Park Jrs: 2-0

The Mavs introduced us to their new duds and also Rizwan Hassan made his return as well. The problem was, no one played this game with that sense of rejuvenation. Don't let the score fool you, this game was all Tpark. They outhussled, out ran and were just sparks of energy. Their biggest problem was the play of goalie Riaz Parekh who stopped 16 tough shots enroute to a 2-zip shutout, his 2nd in as many games out of the gate. Shoaib Khan scored just 2mins in, but Tpark took over. Young star Yusuf Memon seems to have a ball on a string as he made some eye-popping dangles but couldn't beat Parekh. With under a minute left however, Adil Patel did what he does best, fire a one timer off the faceoff to give his team insurance and eventually the win.

WEEK 2 PREVIEW

5pm - Malton Mavericks(1-0) vs T-Park Jrs(1-0)

The Mavs are coming off a dominating performance last week to start the season but that could also be a bad thing if they are expecting the same outcome week in and week out. They go up against the T-Park Jrs who narrowly escaped with the victory via the shoot-out but nonetheless they do possess one of the top goaltending talent in the league in Irfan Vawda. Its not clear whether the Juniors expect to ride on his back all season but one of the brothering groups(khans and Jogiyats) will have to provide something this week against the likes of Shoaib Rangrez, Divesh Sharma and Adil Patel as each had 3 pts or more last week. Maybe T-Park might need to focus on playing even a tighter defensive game this week as the Mavs had 7 different scorers in week 1.

 

WEEK 1

Malton Mavericks def Palace Bandits: 8-0

Youngster Mohammed Docrat is learning the hard way in managing a team. Just a couple of days before the season began, non-committal letters were coming through from some of his players having him scramble at the last minute to fill out his roster. The Mavs on the other hand have tweaked their lineup somewhat and it worked out for the better as they went on a scoring spree allowing the game to go run-time. 9 different players scored a point or more with Divesh Sharma being the star with his 4-point performance. A good way to start off the season but the Mavs may need to forget about this one as other opponents will certainly be tougher. The Bandits will have to find ways of salvaging this season with a solid outing come next week.
