March 2014/2015 Non Contact Hockey League

Tues 24th, (Game #26) 1 Goal
@ 10:45pm, Callingwood Arena Rangers vs. Chiefs (L 7-3) My goal was on the power play as I got control of the puck along the half wall and passed it to Cameron B who took a hard wrist shot and the rebound went to me for a wide open net tap in. I had a groin pull that occurred late in our last game so I was not able to skate at 100%. I was in my own end and tried to stop the puck and I deflected it in my own net. The Chiefs were a really strong team. This was our first game against them as they came from a lower division and their team speed was a lot faster than ours. We battled as hard as we could to prevent a blow out loss. Scott I 1G. Blaise F 1G. Cameron B 2A. Jason L 1A. Ryan S 1A. James S 1A.

Wed 18th, (Game #25)
@ 10:45pm, Kinsmen Arena Rangers vs. Admirals (W 3-0) We played a full team game tonight in both ends of the rink. Early in the first period Scott I picked off a clearing attempt and went in alone and scored a goal that turned out to be the game winner. We did not allow very many shots but when we did Ryan L was there to hold the fort down and in doing so he got his first ever shut out. Ryan S 2G. James S 2A. 

Wed 11th, (Game #24) 2 Goals
@ 10:45pm, Kinsmen Arena Rangers vs. Puckaneers (W 8-4) On my first goal Daniel D kept the puck in their zone and it went to me on the boards so I toe dragged it around their defence men and tucked it in five hole off my back hand shot. My second goal Mike G carried the puck over the blue line and passed it to me and then I used their defence men as a screen and shot it in. The first period both teams traded chances and I felt that late in the period our goalie Blake M made a huge save. We out played them in the second and third period. James S 2G. Ryan S 1G & 2A. Cameron B 1G & 2A. Scott I 1G. Patrick G 1G & 1A. Blaise F 1A. Harry A 1A.

Thur 5th, (Game #23) 1 Assist
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Apple 3.14 (L 2-1) Javan M stole the puck at the red line and I came in behind and carried the puck into the slot and took a wrist shot, it was too hard to handle and Javan M was there to burry the rebound. I also had a good chance off my back hand to score but their goalie stopped it. This game was very even. Both goalies played really well. The game went back and fourth and it was played at a good pace. It was really cool because the score keeper was playing music in between the whistle's. The shots were 30-30
