The Tampa Bay Juniors Empire team played at the Palm Beach Hawks yesterday (January 25th) and a three-goal third period wasn't enough to come back from a 2-0 deficit after two, as the Hawks held on for a 4-3 win.
Third period goals for Tampa Bay were scored by Alex Trendall, Tyler Estermyer and Steven Noyes, but a pair of Palm Beach goals, scored after Trendall's counter, spelled the difference. Sam Coleman made 39 saves for the Juniors, who went 0-for-1 on the power play and 2-of-2 on the penalty kill.
The Empire Juniors, now 25-7-0-3 and 3 points up on the second place Florida Junior Blades (who have 5 games in hand) are on the road this coming weekend, January 31st and February 1st, to play the Atlanta Junior Knights, along with the Elite Juniors.
