Otters Novice Rep team takes it on the road

The Huntsville Otters’ Novice Rep team took on the Oro Thunder on Saturday October 21, in Oro. The game began with the home town Oro Thunder deep into the Huntsville Otters zone where they kept it there for much of the first period. The Otters weathered the attack and managed to keep the Thunder off the scoreboard.

Early in the second period the Huntsville Otters scored a shorthanded goal by Carson Frasier assisted by Braeden Higgs. The Thunder pressure continued into the second frame and they managed to scored their first goal. Two minutes later the Oro Thunder struck again, netting their second goal.

Oro went into the third period up by one goal. After taking a couple minor penalties the Otters regrouped and showed patience as they looked for opportunities to even the score. Late in the third period the Otters found their opening and added a goal by Carson Frasier, his second of the game, assisted by Sterling Boothby.

During the final minutes of the game offensive play opened up to create more scoring chances and shots on goal. Each attempt was stopped by great goaltending and steady defensemen who were in position and ready to clear rebounds. The teams kept the score tied at two until the final buzzer, making this the first tie game for both teams this season.
