the Top ten goal scorers in the IHNSW Bantam division. With this sort of
fire-power and great team play from all the team, no wonder they are leading
the Competition !
Dani Hogan is also settling into a permanent goal-tending position for the
Team, giving the Team stability in defence contributing towards the Teams'
outstanding competition position.

Bears Bantams awesome start to 2010 season
| Saturday 15, 5 May 2010;|
WOW !! - What a start to the Bears Bantams season - 5 wins from 5 games :
Despite being a small team of only 9 players and with no regular Goalie requiring the sharing of Goalie duties amongst the players, this team has achieved this stunning result in their first few games and are currently leading the IHNSW Bantams competition after 5 rounds !!
All players have been firing since the opening game with rookie player - Gabe Maher, scoring his first goal in this opening game of the season. Cian has been rock solid in defence as usual with TJ perfecting his sniping at the net resulting in 3 goals and 6 assists to his credit from these first five games. Yucca Reinecke leads the points score table for the whole of the IHNSW Bantams competition with three other Bears - Saxon, Max and Ryan hot on his tail in the point scoring taking up positions 2, 3, and 4 in the point score table. Playing as a utility player regularly alternating between playing defensive and offensive position, Mackay has also contributed to both the defensive and offensive stats for the team and is also in the Top-Ten point scorers in the IHNSW Bantams competition at this stage of the season - Yes, thats right, this small team are not only the IHNSW Bantams competition leaders but also have 5 players in the Top-ten point scorers !! Backing up this amazing effort has been Dani Hogan with 3 Assists from the first 3 games. As a first-time Goal-tender, Dani has been awesome between the pipes in the last two games for the Bears and could be settling into a regular position there.
This team looks to promise big things for this season with their next test being a game against the Flyers to close-out the first round of games.
Attached are some photo's of the team and some parents enjoying dinner after their win over the Rhino's (many thanks to Sue Reinecke for these)
