Deux-Rives Dauphins Bantam Hockey.
When the Deux-Rives Dauphins Bantam hockey team won their first game of the 2025 season, they sent a strong message.
There were cheers from the crowd as the team showed skill, heart, and teamwork. The Dauphins are ready for a great season after this game, which was more than just a win.
A Night to Remember
It was fast and exciting on the ice from the moment the puck hit it. The Dauphins worked hard on the ice, passed the puck well, guarded well, and made some great saves.
This first game took a lot of work and practice, and every shift showed it. From the first whistle, the crowd, which was full of families, friends, and people who care about the neighborhood,
Was loud. Parents held up signs, younger kids wore too-big shirts to cheer, and other players cheered from the bench. It was a great way to start the season and a real celebration of hockey for kids.
Work as a team and smart play
The Dauphins played clearly from the very beginning. The forwards made smart plays that made it easy for the puck to move up the ice. They stopped shots and strikes with their bodies.
Samuel Pelletier, the goalie, made a number of important plays that stopped the other team’s attack. Something changed in the second half. Lucas Gagnon,
A forward, got away on a quick break and scored a beautiful goal that made everyone stand up. Lucas said later, “I saw the chance and I just went for it.”
“But my teammate’s great pass was what made it happen.” The Dauphins never looked back after scoring that goal. Later in the third period,
They made it through a tough penalty kill where the goalie and players worked together to stop the other team from scoring.
Thoughts on the Ice.
Coach Marc Tremblay was very happy with his team after the game. “They worked hard in camp,” he said. They were smart, kept their focus, and helped each other tonight.
I’m proud of all of the players. Lucas Gagnon thought back on his most important moment: “Scoring that goal felt great.” It was a great pass.
Everyone did their part, and it all came together. Samuel Pelletier, the goalie, wasn’t too proud of his work: “I just trusted my training and stayed calm.
” The defenders did a great job in front of me. It was important that we all played together.
Chemistry and Friendship.
During the start, how well the players talked to each other stood out. They passed with ease because they knew each other’s moves. They also praised every small win,
Whether it was a good block, a good pass, or a big save. It took time to build this relationship. It came from weeks of training camp, workouts off the ice,
Team meals, and events that brought them together. “When players care about each other and work together, that shows on the ice,
” Coach Tremblay said to stress this point. It was so strong that even fans could feel it. Everyone held their breath when a Dauphins player made a strong move.
The cheer was long and loud when the team scored. The rink seemed to have a lot of people in it.
Giving Players Help in Every Role
Lucas Gagnon’s goal got a lot of attention, but many other players were also very important: The defense stopped shots, stole passes, and stayed strong in the back.
The centers and wingers fought hard for puck control in the corners and kept the pressure on the attack. The penalty killers stayed tight, blocked passing lanes, and cleared pucks under pressure.
When extra skaters came in, they kept the energy high and helped keep the momentum going on every shift.
When it comes to youth hockey, depth is key to success.
Coach Tremblay of the Dauphins told everyone, “We win as a team,” not just the players who scored. Every change is important.
Neighborhood Pride
It was more than just a game. This year’s first game felt like a neighborhood event. Banners and pizza nights were paid for by local businesses,
Parents brought snacks, and younger kids from the youth hockey program showed their support. The story was picked up by local media, which brought attention to the team’s good start.
That sense of help from the community is important. It keeps the players going and makes them feel like they’re a part of something bigger.
“Our players feel proud when they see the crowd at home games,” Coach Tremblay said. It makes them feel more confident and full of energy.
What This Win Really Means A few strong things happen when you win the first game of the season:
1. Gives you momentum
A good start gives the team faith and trust. It’s a base to build on for the next few tough games.
2. Supports the strategy
The people who teach can see what works. They can keep making plays, power plays, and methods for killing penalties better.
3. Makes players feel better
Success is good for young players. The first win makes everyone in the changing room and the parents happy.
4. What Will Happen Next?
Going up against Saint-Laurent in the next game will be a real test. Rival games are more fun and difficult. But after tonight’s show, the Dauphins are ready for the battle with unity and confidence.
Here’s what fans can look forward to:
This season, the Dauphins have a lot going on. They will have to deal with tough opponents from Capitale, Saint-Laurent, Rive-Sud, and more.
The games will test their ability to learn, work together, and change. Important things to keep an eye on: • Team dynamics: Will they stay together when things get tough?
• Strength on defense: Will they keep working hard on their end?
• Special teams: The power play and penalty kill will be very important when the game is close.
• Mental toughness: Young players need to keep their confidence up and get back on track after losing.
“We’re ready for the challenge,” Coach Tremblay says of his team.
This group is smart, works hard, and has heart. “Growth, not just winning, will be our main goal.”
Why this is important for local hockey
This win means more than hockey to people in the area who like young sports. It’s about teaching young players things they can use outside of hockey:
Working as a team and being a leader • Being strong when things get tough • Having a sense of community • Having healthy habits and routines
That’s nice for parents. Hockey isn’t just about goals and points for kids; it’s also about building character. And the Dauphins showed that every shift tonight.
Fan Voices
Fans from the area showed their pride: “What a fun game!” From the beginning to the end, our boys had heart and played smart.
“Lusas scoring and Samuel making saves make me so proud.” It was a wonderful night. These words show how the game made people happy and brought them together.
Putting a bow on it
The Two-Rives The Dauphins Bantam hockey team won their first game of the 2025 season. They worked hard, were skilled, and worked well together.
Fans, players, and Coach Tremblay all felt motivated and excited about what’s to come after leaving the rink.
It was a great start, but this is only the beginning.
Every fan felt like they were a part of the game, and every friend, family member, and neighbor left excited for more Dauphins hockey.
