Sat 30th, (Game #12)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Apple 3.14 (L 5-1) We did have a 1-0 lead early and then it went downhill from there. They had a really good defence and they chipped in on the rush for their attack. We had some good scoring chances but could not get it by their goalie. First star Cam B 1G & lots of chances. Second star Howard C was down a few times to block a shot. Third star Harry A broke up a couple scoring chances and was in position all night.
Thu 21st, (Game #11) 1 Goal
@ 10:45pm, Kenilworth Arena Rangers vs. 3volution (L 4-3) I scored my goal as Harry A took a slap shot from the point and I was standing in front of the net and tipped it in. We got out played really bad in the first period. We played a little bit better in the second period but were trailing 4-1. Then we out played them in the third period scored two to make it close. First star sub Fred S 1G and all over the ice with his speed. Second star myself. Third star sub Jeff L 1G.
Tue 19th, (Game #10) 1 Goal & 2 Assists
@ 10:45pm, Kinsmen Arena Rangers vs. Batmen (L 6-4) My goal was from a cycle play as Javan M passed it back to the point to Harry A who had his shot blocked and I was there to take a shot. My first assist was a two on one play and I saucer passed it over to our sub Fred S who one timed it in. My second assist was when I won the face off clean and straight over to Howard C who blasted the slap shot in. I felt that their whole team could skate good and they put some good pressure on us at times. They had three goals that were just lucky bounces and no chance for Scott I as he was solid between the pipes tonight. First star myself. Second star Jeff M 1G and a great shot. Third star Howard C slid to block a shot at the same time as I did and was a vocal leader on the ice.
Mon 4th, (Game #9)
@ 10:15pm, Tipton Arena Rangers vs. Crusaders (L 5-3) I thought we were evenly matched tonight. Both teams had some good scoring chances and the difference in the game was that they capitalized on theirs. I liked that our Defence chipped in at the offensive zone. First star Bartek J 2G & 1A at the net all night. Second star Alex H 1G & 2A. Third star Cameron B 3A.

October 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League
Wed 30th, (Game #8) 2 Goals
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Voodoo (L 3-2) My first goal was a cycle play down low as James S passed it out front to Javan M with two players on him he got the puck to the front of the net and I chipped it in. My second goal was a nice dump in by Harry A and James S got to the puck in the corner and made a hard pass to me in front of the net and I one timed it in. I would say that we lost the game because our first period was slow and sluggish as we played to their level of play and not ours. We had a better second and third period considering we were down 3-0. First star myself. Second star James S 2A good play on the boards. Third star Javan M 1A and solid play.
Sat 26th, (Game #7)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Revolution (L 4-1) I did not have my lungs tonight. I guess being sick the last eleven days has affected me more than I thought. I made a few nice defensive plays and had three shots. Tonight we played a good first period. The next two periods they were the better team, and a few shifts they kept us hemmed in our zone for long periods of time making it hard to line change. The league moved us to Division #7 for next game. First star Dallas H 1G. Second star Scott I kept the score close with lots of saves. Third star Patrick G good defence.
Thurs 17th, (Game #6)
@ 10:30pm, Oliver Arena Rangers vs. Dark Knights (L 7-0) I did a first as I actually slid along the ice and blocked a shot, I only lost two face offs. I had a really bad cold but really wanted to play. Tonight we got out skated and out played. we were down 4-0 after the first period, now the really positive thing about our team was that we did not roll over, but instead we skated as hard as we could and put out our best effort and made them earn their chances. The Dark Knights put a lot of fore checking pressure on us and their defence liked to pinch. First star Bartek J for aggressive play. Second star Harry A getting the puck out of our zone a lot. Third star Chris R lots of hard skating.
Wed 9th, (Game #5) 1 Goal
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Revo2tion (L 4-3) Javan M passed it up to me and I made a move around the Defence men and all three of their players went to me so took a weak shot on net and scored. I felt that we out played them tonight. We had a 3-2 lead in the third period and had a few defensive mistakes and they capitalized on their chances. #2 on their team took over the game. First star Jason L, 1G lots of chances. Second star myself, I back checked and got the puck away a few times. Third star Rob H, 1G.
Sat 5th, (Game #4) 1 Assist
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Honey Badgers (L 6-4) I was in front of our goalie and they passed it off my skate and then Javan M passed it up to James S who got in alone and scored. This game got away from us as we had a 4-1 lead going into the third period. They put a lot of pressure on us and they sent in their defence to help fore check and created turn overs. We got good goal tending but they just came on really hard at the end. First star Blaise F 2G great game. Second star Cameron B 3A aggressive game. Third star James S 1G and lots of chances.

Sat 28th, (Game #3)
@ 11:00pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Venom (L 4-1) The score does not show how close the game was. At times we had pressure but were unable to score more goals. They seemed to be good on the rush and carry it into our zone. I blocked two shots and one was off the side of the ankle and it was bleeding. Thanks to Martin P for coming out to watch. First star Steven W had the goal. Second star Jared S had some great dekes including a shot off the post. Third star Scott I for keeping the score close.

Sat 21st, (Game #2) 1 Goal & 1 Assist
@ 11:00pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Crusaders (W 8-2) My goal was a PPG James S passed it to Javan M and he left it for me so I went around the defence men and got my own rebound. My assist was a cycle play down low to Javan M who passed it to James S for the one time goal. I blocked two shots and also turned the puck over on their first goal. All of our forward lines had cycle time in their zone. Our Defence and goal tending was good. First star James S 2G & 2A. Second star Javan M 4A. Third star myself.
Sat 14th, (Game #1)
@ 11:00pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Mustangs (L6-0) They out played us and beat us to a lot of the loose pucks and seemed to be just half a step faster. We played a much better second and third period. They have six players from my team last years Garbage Goals. I had a break away but got stopped. First star Scott I kept us in after the first period. Second star Javan M, he had chances including a break away. Third star Blaise F played hard.

I went a total of 1,345 km's training and racing on the road and trails.
River Raid MTB XC Race 2013 @ Devon (Alberta Cup) #4
Sunday Aug 25th, I finished 19th out of 22 in Sport Results. It took me 1 hr & 10 mins. It was two laps and a total of 16 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 1,227 feet. My average heart rate was 189 bpm and max was 204 bpm. I had one of my fastest starts ever and it only lasted for the first six kms of the race, then I faded a bit for the next six kms and then the final four kms I had my original pace from the start. I tried this tactic to see if I could hold the pace. The course had a lot of wide open spots to sprint and test your fitness level, mixed with some tricky steep climbs, tight switch back climbs and two technical decents. I also had an injury at the start on this month come back a bit in my left hamstring as it was tight and it pulled on my fibula and I felt it on lap two. The temperature was 25 deg C. A huge thanks to all the volunteers and Devon Bicycle Association and Evan W, Stew H for putting on the race.
ITT Provincial Championships Race 2013 @ Miquelon Lake (Alberta Cup) #2
Saturday Aug 17th, I finished 17th out of 18 in Cat 5 Results. It took me 56 mins & 53 seconds. It was 30 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 364 feet. My average heart rate was 194 bpm and max was 203 bpm. My average cadence was 93 rpm and max was 141 rpm. My average speed was 32 Km's per hour. We road 5 km's to get there so it was a good warm up and then 5 km's to get back to the truck so a good cool down ride, and an extra 10 km's on the day. This was my first ever Alberta Cup level Individual Time Trial race. On the first half of the race we were in a slight head wind and I felt it a bit as I had to work really hard to maintain my speed, then on the turn around the wind was behind me and I had picked up the pace. My effort level was at my max threshold from the start to the finish. My goal was to go under one hour and to have a fast start and I accomplished both of those. I am really glad that I decided to do this race. I had a fun time, even if I was suffering, LOL. The temperature was 23 deg C. A huge thanks to all the volunteers and Juventus for putting on the race.
