WEST PRINCE ISLANDERS 17U BOYS EDGE HAMPSHIRE HEAT

The week 4 Volleyball P.E.I. 17U boys tournament finals came right down to the wire. The event was played at the Holland College gym in Charlottetown and was hosted by the Hurricanes men head volleyball coach Joe Ryan. The caliber of play is getting higher with each passing week, said Ryan. By the time provincials role around in 2 weeks, it will be very interesting to see the level of play and final results.

Six teams took part in the normal round robin action, with the top 2 teams advancing to the finals. The action was so close that a tie breaking procedure had to be used to determine positions 2 through 4. The West Prince Islanders finished in 1st place with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. Three teams finished with records of 3-2, and after going to the second tie -breaking procedure, the results were Hampshire Heat #1 finishing 2nd, Summerside Slammers 3rd, and Charlottetown Aces 4th. The Hampshire Heat #2 team finished 2-3 while the Montague Magic were 0-5.

In the final, the Islanders were looking to turn the tables after suffering a 1 point loss to the Heat #1 team. It was a back and forth battle and neither team would give an inch. The Heat made 3 or 4 incredible defensive plays to stay within striking distance and the score was tied at 18-18 as the ball was served by the Islanders just before the final buzzer sounded . In what was a long rally for the final and deciding point, the Islanders finally put it away with a strong rightside attack and a 19-18 victory. This was the 4th consecutive tournament win for the West Prince squad. I am really proud of our guys, said Islander coach Adam Gallant. We only had 6 guys available this week and some of them had to play in positions that they normally don't. What a great final and what a fantastic defensive effort the Heat put up. In the bronze medal game, the Aces beat Slammers 27-20.

The last regular season tournament will be hosted by the Summerside Slammers on Wednesday, April 24 at Three Oaks. This will be the last opportunity for teams to play and prepare for the provincial finals being hosted at Colonel Gray on May 1st.

WEST PRINCE ISLANDERS MAKE IT 3 IN A ROW

For the third week in a row, the West Prince Islanders took home the title in the Volleyball P.E.I. weekly 17U boys volleyball tournament. Seven teams took part in the tournament that was hosted by the Hampshire Heat at Bluefield High School. This was the largest number of teams to take part so far so the format was a round robin between all 7 teams with no playoffs.

Final results after all games were played were: Islanders#2- 6-0,Islanders#1- 5-1, Charlottetown Aces- 4-2, Hampshire Heat#1- 3-3, Summerside Slammers - 2-4, Montague Magic- 1- 5, Hampshire Heat#2- 0-6. To demonstrate how close the action was, the winning Islanders 2 squad won 2 of their games by 2 points or less while the Islanders 2 team, who finished 2nd, lost 1 game by one point and won 3 games by 2 points or less. Five other matches were decided by 5 points or less. AThe athletes see spring league as an opportunity to play and that is exactly what it is@, said Summerside Slammers coach Joel Arsenault. AIt is evident that the level of play has gotten better each week and this is something that opposing coaches speak to each other about. Our club is looking forward to the second half of the season and to the VPEI championship on May 1st.@

The 4th league tournament will take place at the Holland College gymnasium on Wednesday, April 17 with action beginning at 5:30. More great action will surely be in store.

Summerside Slammers win Volleyball P.E.I. 14U Boys tournament

For a third straight week, the Summerside Slammers took the Volleyball P.E.I. 14U Boys tournament. The three-team event was held at East Wiltshire. The Slammers downed West Prince Islanders 28-11 in the finals. Summerside opened a early 10-2 lead and never looked back in the finals.

It was the first tournament for Red Mudd, based out of East Wiltshire. Due to numbers, Summerside only had one team participating in this week’s event.

Julie Wilting, coach of Red Mudd was very excited to have her charges participating. “This gives our your kids an opportunity to participate in a non-threatening atmosphere. I can see a big improvement in the play of my boys from the first game to the end of evening. We are definitely looking forward to playing in the remaining tournaments and the Volleyball P.E.I. provincials in May”.

West Prince advanced to the finals by nipping Red Mudd 32-14 in the semi-finals.

The three teams played a double-round robin in timed games lasting 12 minutes. After round-robin, both Summerside and West Prince finished with 3-1 record. Summerside was given the first-place nod after applying the tie-breaking procedure. Red Mudd finished third at 0-4.

West Prince Islanders Win VPEI 17U Tournament

ACan you dig it?... Oh yeah ! @Volleyball PEI 17U boys spring league got off to a great start this week. The league will run for 5 weeks, culminating in the provincial championship on May 1st in Charlottetown. Six teams from 4 different clubs took part at the 1st tournament hosted by the West Prince Islanders at Westisle Composite High. Clubs registered this spring include: defending provincial champion West Prince Islanders, coached by Allan Clark, Adam Gallant, and Peter Bolo; Summerside Slammers, coached by Joel Arsenault, Hampshire Heat, coached by Lynn Boudreau, and a newly formed club out of Montague, coached by Dr. Travis Murphy. The Andrew MacDougald coached Charlottetown Aces, who competed in the league last year, did not take part this week but hopefully will be ready to go by next weeks tournament.

The tournament was a round robin format, with the top 2 teams vying for the championship and 3rd and 4th place teams playing in the consolation. Games were 15 minutes in length and many of the matches were extremely close, going right down to the buzzer. Results after round robin play saw the Islanders#1 and Islanders #2 teams with identical 4-1 records, followed by Hampshire Heat #1 at 3-3, Montague at 2-3, and Hampshire #2 and Summerside at 1-4.

Both host Islanders teams met in the final, with Islanders 1 looking to exact some revenge for a close 22-19 loss at the hands of Islanders 2 in the first match of the evening. Things started off well for them as they jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead. However, the #2 team slowly clawed their way back and tied the score at 21-21 heading into the last minute. They continued to carry this momentum and scored the last 3 points of the match to win by a score of 24-21. In the consolation game, Hampshire 1 defeated Montague 29-15.

League coordinator Peter Bolo commented, AFor the first tournament of the season, the level of play was very good. It got better and better as the night went on and should provide for some great action over the next month. The idea of spring league is to get the kids playing. There are no cuts , small numbers on each team and little sitting on the bench. The players are usually tired after 3 hours of playing.@ He also commented on how great it was to see Montague in the league this year. ATravis also coaches the high school team there. He has done a terrific job with that program and this will improve even more with his guys playing spring league.@

The next tournament will take place next Wednesday, April 3rd at Montague High School. Play starts at 5:30 and goes till 8:30. Fans are always welcome to come out and catch some of the action.
