March 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League


Sat 29th, (Game #27) 1 Assist
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Whos Your Daddy (L 4-3) I got my assist when James S shot it at the net and it hit off me and to a pinching Howard C who knocked it in. They out played us in the first period. We had a really good second period and we were tied at two. They found another gear in the third period, but we all tried really hard and together as a team we made it close. Howard C 1G & 2A. Steven W had a good game on defence. Mike G was great between the pipes.

Mon 24th, (Game #26)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Ghostbusters (L 6-0) I had seven shots on goal and myself and James S rotated as the two centre ice men. Tonight was not from a lack of effort on our teams part as I thought all our players were skating hard all night. Where I think we got caught puck watching at times and we got out of position for a couple of there goals.

Sat 15th, (Game #25)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Ice Kings (L 3-0) We started out pretty even with some shifts where we had some chances. They got out to a three goal lead mid way in the second period. We kept skating with them and put out our best effort to not let them run away with the score. I thought Blaise F was our best player with some shots on net and good back checking.

Sat 8th, (Game #24)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Puck University (L 8-1) We started out well with a one nothing lead. I thought that we could skate with them. We had a couple defensive break downs giving up some odd man chances. I thought the huge difference was their #24 and #80 as they were very high level players. Ryan S 1G. Javan M 1A. I thought Bartek J played really well.

Sat 1st, (Game #23) 1 Goal
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Voodoo (W 5-1) I scored my goal of a great stretch pass from Patrick G that sent me just behind the defence and I faked right and went to the back hand (similar to Jordan Eberle lol) I thought we played one of our best games tonight. I liked the fact that every player played as hard as they could and I thought it was a great team effort. Patrick G 2G & 1A, James S 2A, Javan M 1G & 1A, Blaise F 1G & 1A, Cameron B 2A.
