It was a night to remember inside the home barn as the Wings battled hard and finally earned their first home win of the season — a gritty 4–3 victory over TASA Orange.

The energy was electric from puck drop, with both teams trading chances early. TASA opened the scoring midway through the first, but the Wings refused to head into intermission empty-handed. With just 20 seconds left on the clock, Beckett Tink buried the equalizer off a slick feed from Blake Matthews, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

In the second period, TASA regained the lead, but the Wings responded with one for the highlight reel. On the power play, Hunter Rozee showed off some filthy hands, dangling through the defense and tucking one past the TASA goaltender to tie it up once again.

The third period was all heart and hustle. Down by one and killing an early penalty, Harrison Lind intercepted a pass in the neutral zone, broke free, and scored short-handed to even things up at three apiece. The momentum swung fully in the Wings’ favour after that.

Minutes later, Lucas Van Dusen set up Hunter Rozee for his second of the night — a perfectly timed play that turned out to be the game-winner. Rozee’s two-goal effort and relentless play earned him Player of the Game honours.

A full team effort, a loud crowd, and a well-deserved win — that’s Wings hockey.

The team will look to keep the momentum rolling when they hit the road this Sunday, November 16th, to face Sackville Black at Sackville Arena. Puck drops at 10:00 a.m.

The Wings took another tough home loss Monday night, falling 4–2 to Bedford White, but they didn’t go down without a fight.

Bedford set the tone early, burying two goals in the opening period and holding that lead through much of the game. Despite the slow start, the Wings kept battling, and their persistence finally paid off late in the second period. Beckett Tink fed Blake Matthews a slick pass out in front of Bedford’s net, and Matthews made no mistake—sniping it top shelf, right where grandma keeps the cookie jar.

Bedford was quick to respond, restoring their two-goal lead with what turned out to be the game winner, but the Wings refused to fold. With less than a minute left in the frame, Hunter Rozee buried one, assisted by Lucas Van Dusen, to pull the Wings back within one.

The Wings pushed hard in the third, giving it everything they had. In the final minutes, goaltender Andrew Casavechia was pulled for the extra attacker, but Bedford managed to slip one through the Wings’ defensive wall and seal the win with an empty netter.

Player of the Game honors went to Blake Matthews, proudly sponsored by The Pike Group. Matthews was a force all night, showing relentless hustle on every shift and driving hard to the net every chance he got. His hands were absolutely filthy—deking defenders and creating scoring chances out of nothing. Beyond the highlight-reel goal, Blake’s energy and compete level set the tone for his teammates and kept the Wings in the fight until the very end.

The team now gets a week to recover and regroup with a few practices before their next matchup. The Wings will be back in their home barn at Scotia 2 for their regular Monday night game, where they’ll face TASA Orange. Puck drops at 7:30pm.

The Wings hit the ice at the RBC Centre just before lunch for their first regular season matchup against the Dartmouth Whalers. The Whalers came out flying, finding the back of the net just over a minute into the opening frame to grab an early lead. But from that moment on, the Wings showed they were the stronger, more dominant team — pushing the pace, winning battles, and generating chance after chance.

The intensity never let up, with both teams trading big plays and close calls throughout the game. It wasn’t until early in the third period that the Wings finally broke through, when Lucas Van Dusen buried a beauty to tie things up, assisted by Cooper Norris and Harrison Lind. The momentum shifted instantly, and it looked like the Wings might take control — but the Whalers capitalized on a few quick opportunities, netting two back-to-back goals and another late in the frame to seal a 4–1 win.

Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives to take away. One player in particular stood out — Beckett Tink, who showed off some unreal hands and fired several dangerous shots that tested Dartmouth’s goalie all game long. For his skill, effort, and relentless positivity, Beckett earned the Player of the Game honours.

The Wings won’t have much time to dwell, as they’re back on home ice tomorrow night for Monday Night Hockey in the old barn — Scotia 2. They’ll face Bedford White for the first time this season, and it’s shaping up to be a great matchup. Let’s pack the rink, get loud, and show our Wings some love. Puck drops at 7:30pm.

It was a lunch-time showdown at the Greenfoot Energy Centre, and the Wings showed up fired up — maybe from the Mountain Dew and Rockets still fueling them from the night before. In a rematch against the Bedford Blues, the Wings came ready to redeem themselves, skating away with a well-earned 4–1 victory.

Bedford opened the scoring midway through the first, setting an early tone. But the Wings wasted no time responding — Blake Matthews lit the lamp to tie things up, followed shortly after by Lennon Sampson, who buried one to give the Wings their first lead of the game. Before the period closed, Harrison Lind sniped one to extend the cushion and cap off a dominant first frame.

The second period was a tight defensive battle, with both teams trading chances but no goals finding their way through. Early in the third, Hunter Rozee fired a shot on net that bounced perfectly off the goalie’s pads, right onto the stick of Lucas Kelly, who made no mistake finishing the rebound to seal the 4–1 win for the Wings.

The effort across the roster was outstanding — smart puck movement, relentless forechecking, and solid goaltending kept Bedford off balance. But one player in particular stood out to both the crowd and the coaching staff. With composure, hustle, and the game-winning goal, Lennon Sampson earned himself Player of the Game honors.

The Wings played with heart, discipline, and a whole lot of energy — proving once again that when they’re locked in, they’re a force to be reckoned with.

Last night at Scotia 2, the Wings faced off against the Bedford Blue in what proved to be another tough matchup on home ice. Despite the final score of 4–1 in favor of the Blue, the Wings battled hard from start to finish, showing determination and grit until the final buzzer.

The Blue came out strong, capitalizing on their chances and holding the Wings scoreless through much of the game. But this Wings team wasn’t about to let Bedford skate away with a shutout. Late in the third period, #8 Van Dusen broke through the Blue defense and buried one to get the Wings on the board, with assists coming from #4 Anderson and #16 Sampson. The bench erupted, and the goal was a well-earned reward for a team that never stopped pushing.

One player in particular stood out for his all-around effort — #14 Ellis Young, who earned Player of the Game, proudly sponsored by Omega Formwork Inc. Young’s relentless play and willingness to put his body on the line set the tone for his teammates and drew praise from coaches and fans alike.

With a few days to reset and refocus, the Wings will look to bounce back when they hit the road on Saturday, November 1st, for a rematch against Bedford Blue at the Greenfoot Energy Centre. Puck drop is at 12 noon, and the Wings are determined to return the favor on Bedford’s home ice.

Stay tuned, Wings fans — this team’s story is still being written.

Cole Harbour — The barn was buzzing last night for the Wings’ long-awaited home opener, but the TASA Black Ducks came to play and left with a 2–0 win in a gritty showdown under the Scotia 2 lights.

Sure, we could chalk it up to tired legs, heavy ice, or a long weekend of hockey — but let’s call it like it is: TASA flat-out outplayed our Wings from puck drop to the final buzzer. The Ducks brought the heat, and our squad just couldn’t find that extra gear.

That said, there was one player who refused to let this game get away. Between the pipes, rookie tendy Andrew Casavechia put on an absolute clinic. The kid was dialed in — flashing the leather, stacking the pads, and standing tall against relentless pressure. Without him, this one could’ve been a full-on highlight reel for the Ducks. No question about it — Andrew earned that Player of the Game puck, and then some.

Even with the loss, the Wings left the rink smiling and still full of that team energy that makes them who they are. You could see it — no hanging heads, no pointing fingers. Just a group that knows this was a wake-up call and that they’ll bounce back stronger.

These Wings might have had their wings clipped last night, but make no mistake — they’re not grounded. They’ll shake it off, tighten things up, and be ready to fly next game.

Until next time, Black Ducks — enjoy the win while you can.

The Wings took down the Penguins 4–1 tonight in their rematch at the East Hants Sportsplex — that’s two road wins in a row for this crew! The team is clicking like a well-oiled machine, with strong defense, smart plays, and tons of energy.

Big shoutout to rookie James Smith, who picked up Player of the Game for his stellar performance! Coming to Cole Harbour from the west coast of BC, James has already proven to be a huge addition to the Wings lineup.

Next up — our home opener tomorrow night (Mon, Oct 20th) at 7:30pm in Scotia 2 vs the TASA Black Ducks. Let’s pack the stands, get loud, and keep the streak rolling!

The U13 B Cole Harbour Wings kicked off their regular season in style this afternoon at the Spryfield Lions Rink, skating away with a hard-fought win over the Chebucto team in what can only be described as a statement game.

Chebucto came out flying early, setting the tone late in the first with some solid puck movement and pressure in the Wings’ end. But it didn’t take long for Cole Harbour to find their groove. Once they settled in, the Wings looked like a team that’s been playing together for years—moving the puck clean, supporting each other in every zone, and showing serious chemistry for game one of the season.

Today’s Player of the Game, proudly sponsored by All Star Energy, goes to #2 Cooper Norris, who put on a show with some clutch plays and the game-winning goal to seal the deal for the Wings. Norris’ effort and hustle were unmatched from puck drop to the final buzzer.

Next up, the Wings stay on the road and head to Lantz, where they’ll face off against the East Hants Penguins tomorrow night at 7:00 PM at the East Hants Sportsplex. The last time these two teams met, the scoreboard stayed empty on both sides—but you can bet the Wings will be looking to change that and light the lamp this time around.

The Wings are rolling—let’s keep the momentum going!

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.

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.
