2001 Elite Champions at the Philadelphia Super Series
The Islanders had a tough start to the tournament, losing their first two games to Team Comcast and the Young Nationals. They returned with a strong performance on Saturday and earned wins over the Jr. Penguins and Valley Jr. Warriors and moved into 2nd place with a victory over the Colorado Evolution on Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon's final game put the Islanders against the 1st place Toronto Young Nationals where the boy's strong play continued in an exciting and tight game. With the game tied in the last moments of the 3rd period the boys were able to score the winning goal with only ten seconds left avoiding overtime and claiming a 5-4 victory over Toronto. After going 4-2-0 in the tournament the Middlesex Islanders were crowned Champions of the Philadelphia Super Series.
The coaches, players and parents of the 2001 Elite team would like to thank Team Comcast and the Super Series organizers for hosting the tournament.
IYHO's Philosophy
The Islander Organization exists to allow young people the opportunity to participate in a competitive league, to allow the players to be involved in an environment that focuses on skill development and team-based responsibilities with the intention of developing within the players a life long love for the game. Our goal is to develop all players on an equal basis based on teaching the game from different perspectives- individual offense and defense, team-based offense and defense and most importantly how players should win or lose with dignity and humility.
In either case, the opportunity to experience and develop " lessons in life " will be in the forefront of our coaches minds.
