Indy Jr Fuel 12U Red and 10U Red (2015) concluded the Buckeye Travel Hockey League’s end of season playoff tournament atop their respective divisions. 12U Red won the 12U A Gold division playoffs in Cincinnati, while 10U Red (2015) were crowned champs of the 10U A Bronze division in Louisville.
The Indy Jr Fuel 12U Red team’s playoff win comes on the heels of a very impressive regular season in BTHL play. They skated to an outstanding record of 14-1-1, leading their division in goal differential with a margin of +45. Coming in as the 1st seed, they were a perfect 4-0 through the tournament, winning the championship game 7-2 over the SISU Thunderbirds. Congratulations to Coach Pavel and the 12U Red team on a great season filled with many victories and great experiences for the players!
10U Red (Coach Dickmeyer) secured another championship banner for the IYHA Jr Fuel in the 10U A Bronze division of the BTHL end of season tournament in Louisville. An up and down regular season gave the 10U Red the experience they needed for a playoff push. Coach Dickmeyer had his players prepared for some tough tests, where their high-flying offense helped them advance to the finals. Their tough defense proved enough to best the Athens Bobcats by a score 3-2 in the championship game.
Other finalists from the IYHA Jr Fuel include 10U Red (Coach Bryan) who lost to Indian Hill 3-2 in the 10U A Gold division, 12U White lost in a heartbreaker of a game in a shootout to the Athens Bobcats for the 12U A Bronze division championship.
It was a great season for all nine IYHA Jr Fuel teams who participated in Buckeye Travel Hockey League play. Two tournament champions, two finalists, and three regular season winners mark the end of another successful season for the good guys from Indy in the BTHL.
A special thank you is owed to all of our BTHL players, parents, families, and coaches for making this season another great one!
