IceDogs Unleashed: St. Catharines’ Noah Read embracing hot start to the season
By Matt Latour, Niagara News Daily
NIAGARA, ONT — There’s something pretty special about growing up watching your hometown hockey team – and then eventually getting the chance to score for them.
That’s exactly what Niagara IceDogs forward Noah Read is doing this season. The St. Catharines native opened the OHL season by scoring Niagara’s first goal of the year in their visit to the Brantford Bulldogs, then followed that up with a three-point performance in the IceDogs’ home opener against the Brampton Steelheads.
Read says the team’s strong start, along with the work they’ve put in during training camp and practices, has helped things click early.
For Read, scoring that first goal was about more than just getting on the scoresheet. He grew up attending IceDogs games and remembers watching the team make its memorable playoff run in 2016.
Now, a decade later, he’s wearing the IceDogs jersey himself, and he hopes to help create some of those memories for a new generation of fans.
