EXHIBITION RECAP: WINGS TAKE FLIGHT IN FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON 

The U13 B Cole Harbour Wings officially kicked off their season last night in an exhibition matchup against the East Hants Penguins at the East Hants Sportsplex — and right from puck drop, these Wings looked ready to soar. 

The boys came out buzzing, setting the tone early with sharp passing, solid backchecking, and some great chemistry for their first time together on the ice. The Wings controlled most of the play, hemming the Penguins in their own end for long stretches and generating plenty of scoring chances.

But standing tall between the pipes for East Hants was their goaltender — and she was lights out. The Penguins’ tendy put on an absolute clinic, turning away every shot the Wings could throw her way. Her performance was nothing short of stellar and easily the biggest difference-maker in this preseason battle.

After three hard-fought periods, the game ended in a 0–0 tie, but the Wings definitely left a statement. They showed speed, grit, and a level of teamwork that has fans excited for what’s ahead.

Coach Matthews kept his postgame comments short and confident, saying he likes the direction this team is headed and believes they’ll be a top contender as the season unfolds.

Next up, the Wings hit the road to start their regular season Saturday, October 18th at 3:00 PM at the Spryfield Lions Rink, where they’ll face off against Chebucto. Can’t make it to the rink? The game will be live streamed on the team’s Facebook page for friends and family.

Then on Sunday, October 19th, the Wings are back at the East Hants Sportsplex for a regular season rematch against the Penguins — puck drops at 4:30 PM.

The exhibition may have ended in a draw, but one thing’s clear: these Wings are hungry, focused, and ready for lift-off. Stay tuned right here for all your updates, highlights, and coverage throughout the season.
