The SLVYHA 18U Yetis showed determination and grit in a two-game weekend road series against the Littleton Hawks 18U Black, falling 2–1 on Saturday and 4–3 on Sunday in back-to-back close contests.

Saturday’s opener was a defensive battle from the start. Goalie Clayton Treinen turned aside 18 shots, keeping the Yetis within reach all game. The Hawks struck early in the first, but the Yetis responded midway through the second when Brandon Gay buried a setup from Reagan Curtis to even the score. Despite a strong push late, the Hawks found the edge in the third, handing the Yetis a narrow 2–1 loss.

Sunday’s rematch was a fast-paced, high-energy contest that came down to the final minutes. Brenner Griffin opened scoring for the Yetis in the first period off a feed from Reagan Curtis. The second period saw the Valley offense click again, with Foster Boyd converting on a setup from Reagan and Sydney Curtis before Cael Canaan drove one home unassisted to make it 3–1. The Hawks rallied in the third, capitalizing on sustained zone pressure to net three unanswered goals and steal the 4–3 win.

Across both games, the Yetis’ work ethic stood out. Treinen was strong between the pipes, facing over 50 shots on the weekend, while the team’s balanced scoring showed continued depth and development.

Though the results didn’t go their way, the 18U Yetis demonstrated the leadership and composure that define this age group: focused, resilient, and united in their effort. The group continues to represent Valley hockey with pride and purpose, embodying the Yeti spirit of hard work and community every time they hit the ice.
