Carmeuse Lime Ltd. - Minor Midget Rep, 2014-2015 (Ingersoll & District Minor Hockey)

Just minutes into last night’s O.M.H.A. Semi-Final game in Whitby, Carmeuse Lime Ltd fans were on their feet cheering after the puck entered the net of the Durham Crusaders.  The celebration would be disappointedly short as the referee disallowed the goal, stating the net was off its moorings.  Carmeuse struggled to return to their high level of play and by the end of the period were in a two-goal deficit.

A week ago Carmeuse Lime was in a two-game deficit to the Durham Crusaders in this season’s O.M.H.A Semi-Final Series.  The series is now tied because Carmeuse created and seized their opportunity, winning four and tying two of the six periods this past weekend at the Ingersoll District Memorial Centre.  

Here it is, Wednesday, the day known as hump day.  This is where we look at what is past and look forward to what it to come…the weekend. After losing the first two games of the O.M.H.A. Semi-Finals to the Durham Crusaders last weekend, this week’s hump day takes on a whole new meaning for Carmeuse Lime Ltd Minor Midget Ingersoll Express as they look back and learn from last weekend’s losses and look to this weekend for what is to come…opportunity.

This past week has not been an easy one for the coaches, players and fans of Carmeuse Lime Ltd.  After an exciting well-played win in Collingwood one week ago today, the team seemed to lose their winning edge, tying the next two games against the Lincoln Blades.  The two ties met that their O.M.H.A. fate would be determined by a game they weren’t even playing.  There was nothing they could do but wait for the final score of today’s 1:00 PM game in Collingwood, between the Collingwood Black Hawks and the Lincoln Blades. Carmeuse was hoping for a Collingwood victory and that’s what they got.

Carmeuse Lime Ltd was at Collingwood’s Eddie Bush Arena yesterday, focused on making the O.M.H.A. score even with the Collingwood Black Hawks.  As the teams prepared to line-up at centre ice, the voice of a Black Hawk fan bellowed, “Beat them like you did last time, Collingwood!” A reminder of Carmeuse’s 1-0 home loss to the Black Hawks, just fourteen days prior.
