The Northern Vermont Wildcats kicked off their season sending their U14 and U12 teams to the Western Mass Spring Meltdown, in Western Massachusetts this past weekend. Both teams went a perfect 4-0-0 and won their Divisional Championships!

The U12 team kicked off the tournament with a dominating 10-2 win over the New Jersey Devils, on Friday night. Saturday morning saw a good test against the Western Mass Wizards and the team would prevail with a 5-0 win. Saturday night, the team faced off against the Central VT Black Bears. A back-and-forth affair would lead the 'Cats to a 9-4 win and the #1 seed heading into the Championship Game Sunday afternoon.

The #1 seeded U12s would take on the #2 seeded Western Mass Wizards for the Championship. The Wizards would quickly go up 2-0 but the 'Cats would score 3 unanswered to lead 3-2 after the 1st half. The Wizards would go up 5-4 with just under 5 minutes left in the game. A determined Navy and Gold squad would score with 1:52 left in regulation to tie the game 5-5. With 0:25 left in the game, the U12s would pop in the eventual game winner and take home a 6-5 Championship victory. What a thriller to start the season. Congrats to our U12 players and coaches! #RollCats
