December 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League

Mon 28th, (Game #11) 1 Goal & 1 Assist
@ 8:00pm, University of Alberta Clare Drake arena Rangers vs. Ghostbusters 2 (L 6-5) On my goal we were on the power play and the shot from the point hit the goalie in the pads and I was there to get my stick on the rebound and the puck just went in. My assist I got a step on their defence men and had a shot from the side in tight and the goalie kicked out the rebound to a wide open Javan M who put it in the empty net. We really struggled in our own end at getting the puck out of our zone. They sealed off the point really well. They had lots of pressure in our end because of it. Both teams took some penalty's. We were down by three at one point in the third period and made it close at the end. They outshot us 38 to 28. Javan M 2G. Ryan S 1G & 1A. Harry A 1G. Howard C 1A. Daniel D 1A. Evan R 1A.   

Thu 17th, (Game #10) 1 Assist
@ 10:15pm, Crestwood arena Rangers vs. Puckaneers (W 5-2) On my assist it was a chase to the puck and I lifted their defence man's stick and kicked the puck over to Chris K who had a nice shot to score. This was a really fun game to play in because they were evenly matched with us and not a chippy team. We got a good goaltending performance by Gideon L. We out shot them 32 to 26. Chris K 2G & 1A. Ryan L 1G & 1A. James S 1G & 1A. Blake M 1G. Ryan D V 2A. Howard C 1A. Evan R 1A.

Fri 11th, (Game #9)
@ 9:30pm, Leduc Alexandra arena Rangers vs. Toothwork Titans (L 2-1) We got outplayed in the first period. During the flood our GM had said lets play with us using our speed and in the second period we out played them. The third period was even. They scored with only eleven seconds left in the game. I had made a great back check to prevent a goal just twenty seconds before they had scored. The shots were even 20 to 20. James S 1G. Jeff M 1A and looked like Taylor Hall out there tonight.

November 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League

Mon 30th, (Game #8) 1 Goal
@ 10:00pm, West Edmonton Mall Arena Rangers vs. Garbage Goals (W 5-1) On my goal the puck was cleared and it was a race for the puck and the goalie came out to play it and fanned on it and I got it and tucked it in the empty net. I would say the score did not reflect how well they played. We were sluggish in the first period. Our goalie Ryan L stopped two breakaways and had two big pad stops. They out shot us 38 to 34. Javan M 2G & 1A. Ryan S 1G & 2A. Ryan DV 1G. James S 2A. Harry A 1A. Howard C 1A. Chris K 1A.

Wed 25th, (Game #7) 1 Goal & 1 Assist
@ 10:30pm, Glengarry Arena Rangers vs. Figjam (W 4-2) On my assist we were on a two on one and I got their defence men to come to me and then I saucer passed it to Robin M and she scored five hole. For my goal they pulled their goalie and I got the puck down into their zone and there was two of them and I came away with the puck and put it five hole on their defence men covering in the net. I had some really good back checking. We played a really strong game and had lots of sustained pressure in their zone. We out shot them 29 to 26. James S 2G. Ryan S 2A. Jeff M 1A. Alex H 1A.

Wed 18th, (Game #6)
@ 10:45pm, Callingwood Arena Rangers vs. Pylons (L 4-3) I thought that for the most part the game was even. The difference was that they capitalized on their chances. Early in the third period they scored to take a 4-0 lead. We did not give up and battled back to make a game of it. We out shot them 29 to 20. Ryan S 1G. Javan M 1G. Andy R 1G. Howard C 3A. Harry A 1A. Bruce C 1A.

Sat 14th, (Game #5)
@ 7:45pm, Tipton Arena Rangers vs. Ghostbusters 2 (W 6-3) We got out played in the first period. After the flood we out played them in the next two periods. We out shot them 37 to 28. Our passing was crisp and clean all night. This was the best I have seen our team pass the puck around. Howard C 1G. Coleby P 1G. Daniel D 1G. Robin M 1G & 1A. Javan M 1G & 1A. Ryan S 1G & 1A. James S 1A. Chris K 1A. 

Fri 6th, (Game #4) 2 Assists
@ 10:30pm, Donnan Arena Rangers vs. Garbage Goals (W 6-1) On my first assist I won the face off clean back to the point to Howard C and his shot found its way in as I was in front of the net. My second assist we cycled the puck down low and I passed it to Ryan DV and then he went to Chris K who scored for his hat trick. We out played them in the game and I thought we had some good chunks of time spent in their zone. We out shot them 39 to 29. I played for them a couple years ago and they are a great group of guys over there. Howard C 2G. Ryan S 1G & 2A. Bruce C 2A.

October 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League

Fri 30th, (Game #3)
@ 10:00pm, Canadian Athletic Club Arena Rangers vs. Pylons (L 7-5) We played as good as we could and in the third period we were at one point down 6-2. I don't think the score should have been that, as they had got a lucky bounce or two. We made a close game of it and I give lots of credit to our team for trying hard to the end. And to that point we lost because we took to many penalty's. We out shot them 46 to 28. Dallas H 2G & 2A. Ryan S 1G & 2A. James S 1G & 1A. Jeff M 1G. Robin M 2A. Daniel D 1A. Gideon L (goalie) 1A.  

Fri 23rd, (Game #2) 1 Goal & 1 Assist 
@ 10:45pm, Terwillegar Arena Rangers vs. Toothwork Titans (W 3-1) On my goal Alex H burst down the wing with lots of speed and I caught up and made it a two on one and he passed it across to me and I chipped it in over the goalie. On my assist I passed it behind the net to Coleby P and he passed it to Alex H at the point and scored on a slap shot. Our goalie Ryan L made some big time saves in the first period. The game was pretty even but I think we out played them a bit in the third period. They out shot us 29 to 26. Alex H 2G & 1A. Coleby P 1A. Jeff M 1A. Ryan L (goalie) 1A.

Fri 16th, (Game #1) 1 Assist 
@ 10:00pm, Rexall Place Arena Rangers vs. Figjam (L 3-2 S/O) On my assist Jeff M passed it to me to break out of our zone and I passed it threw a couple players from our blue line to their blue line to send James S in alone on a break away and he made a great deke to fool the goalie and score. If your reading this yes we played on the same home ice as the Edmonton Oilers do. We went on after the WHL Oil Kings game. It was such a great experience. They even did the anthem. They announced who scored the goals and had the score on the big score board. The ice was really nice. I would have never thought I would ever play here. In the game we had a lot of down low fore checking and created a lot of offence and out shot them 34 to 20. We had a 2-1 lead and with only a few minutes left they scored late in the third period. We did four on four for three minutes where no goals were scored, followed by the shoot out where we scored no goals and they had one. Their goalie played really well. Jeff M 2A. James S 1G & 1A. Alex H 1G.

Celebrating James S Goal

October 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League (Pre Season)

Sat 3rd, (Game #2) 1 Goal 
@ 6:15pm, Tipton Arena Rangers vs. Puck University (L 6-3) On my goal I went to the front of the net by the crease and got a nice pass from Dallas H. Myself and Alex H had some nice break out passes to get out of our end. I think Puck U was the better team as they had more of the play in our zone. I thought we had a good third period. Dallas H 2G & 1A. Alex H 1A.

Sat 26th, (Game #1) 
@ 6:15pm, Tipton Arena Rangers vs. HSKT Dinos (W 2-1 S/O) I had suffered a bruised right knee back on July 26th during SingleTrack 6 MTB XC stage race in Thompson Okanagan. Over the past 60 days I have been going to Physio and trying to strengthen my knee. Tonight I was just trying to play the game and not make my knee worse. I passed the test as I feel good as I write this. I am so happy of how my knee feels. I played on the wing tonight, less skating. I played not that good. The team we played was about the same skill set as us but their goalie kept them in it. Ryan S set Javan M up for his top corner goal. We played 4 on 4 for three minutes and then went to the shoot out where Howard C scored the game winner.
