Catallo would net three more in the match-up, bringing his game total to four goals. Landon Riley and Matthew Perri also netted one a piece for the Dragons.

Bakersfield Dragon Pee Wee’s beat, undefeated team, Valencia Express 7-6 on January 22nd in Valencia. The boys were ready to play some serious hockey the moment they stepped onto the ice. A TEAM is how I would sum up the game. The boys really worked hard together to win this intense game.

The first period started off right away with a nice pass sequence from Sawyer Robinson to Austin Hanson, to Brayden Watts with a goal. Express came right back to put 3 goals on the board within the first 10 minutes. At 4:09 on the clock Brayden Watts scores, assisted by Jalen Wallace, and with 2:52 left on clock Brayden Watts put one more in the net making a hat trick in first period. The period ended  3-3.

Express slipped one more goal in bringing score 5-4 Dragons. Jalen Wallace took control of the puck passing up to Jo Jo Velasquez with a goal and Brayden Watts added his 5th goal of the day at 12.1 seconds left on clock ending second period 7-4 Dragons.

Valencia Express fought back hard in the 3rd putting 2 more points on the board. The Dragons defensive team (Michael Lopez, James Baker, Jacob Chaddick, Blake Olson, & Tarek Itani) and Goalie, Grant Campbell, held the ice down ending game 7-6 Dragons.  A congrats to Michael Lopez for earning the game hat and a HUGE well deserved “great game” to every single Dragon Pee Wee.  The team played hard, communicated, and skated to win. GO DRAGONS!
