Thu 16th, (Game #2) 1 Goal & 1 Assist
@ 10:30pm, Kinsmen arena Rangers vs. Garbage Goals (L 3-2) My goal was of the high light reel type where I stole the puck at our blue line and went wide along the boards and deked their defence men out and stick handled around their goalie's attempt to poke check me and I put it in the empty net. My assist I just centred it from behind the net and we battled to score. We only had three defence men and five forwards tonight so it was more than half the game each player played. We went down three nothing. We really needed the intermission as in the third period we got two goals and made it really close at the end. Both goalies played really well. We out shot them 39 to 36. We lost the best of three series and our season is now finished. Howard C 1G. Javan M 1A.

Fri 10th, (Game #1) 1 Assist
@ 10:30pm, Garrison Army Base arena Rangers vs. Garbage Goals (L 3-2) On my assist it was early in the game and off the face off I stick handled and lost control of the puck and James S was right behind me and he took the puck went in and scored. One of the big differences why we lost I thought was we took four penalties and they only took one. We were down 3-1 after first period. We tried our best and did not give up. Our goalie Blake M was very solid between the pipes as we were out shot 39 to 21. James S 1G. Rob H 1G. Andy R 1A. Robin M 1A. Michael C 1A.

Wed 1st, (Game #25)
@ 7:30pm, Garrison Army Base arena Rangers vs. Knights (L 3-2) To start the game we had five forwards. I played centre for the game. Part way through the first period our other forward came and then we had two lines. We took two penalties in the first period and we could not find our rhythm as we were down two nothing. The second and third periods were a little bit better however we could not sustain an offensive zone attack and instead had chances off the rush and that was it. Our Goalie Ryan L held us in there as we were outshot 38 to 33. Rob H 2G. Alex H 1A.
