January 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League

Wed 29th, (Game #19) 1 Assist
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Voodoo (T 2-2) My assist I got the puck at centre ice from a James S pass and then I made a toe drag "N" dangle move to get around their defence men and I took a shot and Javan M was there to burry the rebound. This game was so evenly matched. Both teams had some good scoring chances and both goalies made some really good saves. In the shoot out Javan M hit the post, Chris R got stopped on his shot, and I had the goalie beat but the puck bounced on me. First star Javan M 1G. second star Dallas H 1G. Third star Myself.

Sat 25th, (Game #18)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Whos Your Daddy (L 5-2) They came out hard in the first period. They have a lot of really good skaters and for sure out played us. I like that we fought back and played a stronger second and third period. First star Cameron B 1G & 1A lots of hard for checking. Second star Blaise F 1G good back checking as well as offence. Third star Jeff M had some good scoring chances.


Mon 13th, (Game #17) 2 Assists 
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Ghostbusters (W 6-4) My first assist I won the face-off and Javan M got it to James S who shot it and got the rebound and then passed it to Javan M and he scored. My second assist I won the face-off & Javan M passed it to Dallas H shot from the point went it. I had a bad cold but played through it. This was a very fast paced game as both teams had some really strong skaters. It was a fun game to play in. First star Dallas H 3G playing defence. Second star Taylor W 1G & 1A created lots. Third star Javan M 1G & 1A.

Sat 11th, (Game #16) 1 Goal
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Ice Kings (L 4-2) I scored as our defense chipped the puck out and I picked it up along the boards with speed then I went inside out on their defence men and I toe dragged it around him and took a hard shot. We got out played tonight. I thought we played a little bit better in the second and third periods. They seemed to be first on loose pucks. First star Scott I kept us in all night making save after save. Second star myself only two centre's gave me a lot of skating. Third star Bartek J 1G and won battles along the boards.


Sat 4th, (Game #15)
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Senators (L 6-2) We lost to the better team tonight and they had there one defence men score a hat trick and their goalie was very good making some unbelievable saves. We had a lot of chances to score more but hit posts or just missed. I felt that we skated with them and considering we are div #8 and they are div #6 we faired ok. First star Jeff L 1G. Second star Dallas H 1G. Third star Chris R 1A and looked poise to score his first goal of the season but made a play to get his assist.

December 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League

Tues 17th, (Game #14) 2 Assists
@ 10:45pm, Callingwood Arena Rangers vs. Crusaders (L 6-5) My first assist I won the face off to the point and then Jeff L scored. My second assist I passed it to Bartek J who's shot was stopped and Jeff L got the rebound. This was a really fun game to play in as both teams played good. I felt that when we had the puck in deep we could sustain offensive zone pressure. The turning point was when we were on the power play and they scored a short handed goal to make it the winning goal. First star Jeff L 3G. Second star Javan M 2A aggressive playing on boards. Third star James S 1G around the net all night.

Sat 14th, (Game #13) 2 Goals & 3 Assists
@ 10:15pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Voodoo (W 11-8) I missed our last game because Friday 6th I had a kidney infection and also passed a kidney stone and spent eight hours in the hospital and the next couple day's on IV for anti-biotics. My first goal was a rebound from a Dallas H shot. My second goal was a rebound from a Jeff M shot. My first assist I shot it wide and it hit the boards hard and bounced out in front for Javan M to burry it. My second assist I got it over to Jeff M and he had a nice shot. My third assist I won the faceoff in our own end and it went to Dallas H then he went end to end for a sweet goal. If you like goals then you would have liked this game. We out shot them 48 to 32 and I felt as though we played a solid game and even with all the goals both goalies made some good saves. This game felt like an old style 80's game and it was a blast to play in. First star Myself I blocked four shots. Second star Jeff M 1G & 1A hard on the puck. Third star Leonard L first ever goal.

November 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League

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.

September 2013/2014 Non Contact Hockey League

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.
