Before the Christmas break began, Coaldale Cobra teams hit the ice for Central Alberta Hockey League games as the 2021 potion of the season met its end.

U11 Tier 3

The U11 Tier 3 Cobras had a busy weekend with a pair of road games on tap.

On Saturday, the team travelled to Irvine and took care of business with a 10-3 win. Rudy Wojszel had a hot stick as he chipped in with five goals while Travis Jackson had a hat trick, and Nixon Noble and River Pollard had singles. Alistair Poettcker had a pair of assists, while Nova Mulder and Kaelan Hoffman had one each. Elliot Hass got the start in the net and made 20 stops.

The team then travelled to Redcliff the following day, but no game sheet was available Monday morning.

After the Christmas break, the team returns to the ice on Jan. 8 (in Taber) and Jan. 9 (at home against Raymond).

U11 Tier 6

With two games before the Christmas break, the U11 Tier 6 team had a pair of home games to round out 2021.
