United’s second game was a much stiffer test, resulting in a 2-2 against the North Vancouver Hawks.

Quick passing and impeccable teamwork brought United above and beyond.

Starting the second half with a bang, Brett made it 2-0 off the kick-off.
United’s endurance and quick passing kept the pressure on. Their one fault was a small gap that allowed the Storm to sneak one in, making it 2-1 with three minutes remaining. But Brett iced the game a short while later.
