The new Wildcat Inline Hockey Team was on a roll Thursday, soundly defeating their cross-town rival Detroit Catholic Central 12-5. Novi started the game with a goal in the first minute of action, and didn't let up throughout the game.

Greg Morisette started things off for the 'Cats, followed by two goals from Steve Rousseau and one from Shamus Finnerty to make in 4-2 Novi after one period.

CC came out strong in the second period, scoring first. Novi answered back on two goals from Justin Ascenzo and another from Mike Arnold: 7-3 Novi after two.

In the third period both teams played a solid game, with CC scoring two and Novi's Steve Rousseau scoring three more, and Kyle Mouch and Ascenzo each adding another.

Final score 12-5 Novi.

Solid goaltending by Novi's Chad Tindall stymied CC's efforts to score throughout the game. "He was phenomenal," explained Head Coach John Smith following the game.
