February 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League

Sun 28th, (Game #19) 2 Goals & 1 Assist
@ 10:00pm, George S Hughes South Side arena Rangers vs. Bipolar Bears (W 4-2) On my first goal I was covering the point for our pinching in defence men and the puck came to me from Javan M at the blue line and I toe dragged it around their player and that gave me time and space so I wound up and took a hard low slap shot and it deflected off their players skate and in. My second goal Andy R passed it to Robin M and then the puck came right in front of the net and I one timed it in. My assist I was behind the net and passed it to Javan M who passed back to the point to Eric L and his shot went in. We fell behind 2-0 really fast and early in the first period. We calmed down after that and played our way back into the game. Where we did good was the cycle down low. The turning point was in the third period as we just scored two quick goals and they went on a three on zero chance and our goalie Brendan M made a crazy save, but our player put his hand on the puck resulting in a penalty shot, no worries he stopped that too. They out shot us 28 to 21. Ryan L 1G. Howard C 1A.   
Thu 25th, (Game #18)
@ 9:00pm, Michael Cameron arena Rangers vs. Figjam (L 4-1) I did not play as good tonight. My legs were a bit sore from my spin yesterday. The game was fairly even but they did get better scoring chances. It seemed like we did not get many good scoring chances. We took five penalties tonight. We got out shot 31 to 18. Ryan S 1G. Chris K 1A.

Sat 20th, (Game #17)
@ 8:45am, Knights of Columbus arena Rangers vs. Voodoo V (W 2-1) I took my first penalty today for hooking. I didn't have my legs going the first couple shifts. I played back at centre. It seemed like their team was just a bit faster than us in the first half of the game. Our GM Harry A is on their team and he played against us today. We played better the second half of the game. We drew two penalties late in the game and we came back with two power play goals in under three minutes. Blake M was great in goal. We got out shot 44 to 31. Ryan S 1G & 1A. James S 1G & 1A. Howard C 2A. 

Sat 13th, (Game #16) 2 Goals & 2 Assists
@ 10:15pm, George S Hughes South Side arena Rangers vs. Toothwork Titans (W 6-0) My first goal I got a nice pass from Ryan S in tight and one timed it. My second goal was of the high light reel type as I was out killing a penalty and got the puck in my own zone and got by both their players and then went around the one defence men back and made a nice deke on the goalie as I tucked it in on my back hand. My first assist I got the puck in the corner and got it over to Ryan S. My second assist I passed it to Ryan S outlet from our zone and he got it to Evan R. I played left wing instead of centre tonight. I should have had the hat trick as I had lots of chances. The game was close 0-0 after first period and I would say that was because we took two penalties. We played really good in the second and third periods. Ryan L got his second shut out this season and it was cool to see as he was battling a bad cold. We out shot them 39 to 21. Ryan S 2G & 3A. Chris K 1G.

January 2015/2016 Capital City Rec Hockey League

Mon 25th, (Game #15)
@ 9:15pm, Leduc Rec Centre arena Rangers vs. Puckaneers (W 4-1) I felt bad because on their only goal I was behind the net trying to get the puck from them instead of in front of the net as a centre should cover off that area. On the flip side I blocked a hard slap shot with my butt like Don Cherry say's sacrifice your body. We out played them tonight especially the first two periods. Our team had a lot of cycle plays down low. We out shot them 19 to 13. Howard C 1G & 1A. Ryan DV 1G. James S 1G. Jeff M 1G & 1A. Ryan S 3A. Alex H 1A. Javan M 1A. Evan R 1A. 

Sun 24th, (Game #14) 2 Assists
@ 8:45am, Knights of Columbus arena Rangers vs. Pylons (L 4-2) On my first assist I got the puck in their zone off a pass from Jeff M and then I drove hard and cut to the net like a power forward and my shot went to Robin M and she scored off the rebound. My second assist I protected the puck in our zone and I banked it off the boards to Jeff M and he passed it to Robin M and she scored. It was a bit different playing an early AM game. Our team got really out played in the first period being out shot 15 to 4. We played a lot better in the next two periods and made a game of it. Ryan L our goalie held us in there all game long and gave us a chance. We got out shot 52 to 24.

Tue 19th, (Game #13) 1 Goal
@ 10:30pm, Kinsmen arena Rangers vs. Toothwork Titans (W 6-0) On my goal James S passed it to me in front of the net and I kicked the puck from my skate right to my stick and in. I made a nice defensive play to lift their player's stick when he had a wide open net. Our team game was really good tonight. We did not give up any break aways or two on ones. Ryan L with the shut out and played great, solid movements and didn't give up much rebounds. We out shot them 26 to 25. Ryan S 3G. James S 1G & 2A. Chris K 1G & 1A. Evan R 2A. Howard C 1A. Bruce C 1A. Robin M 1A.    

Sat 16th, (Game #12) 1 Assist
@ 8:45pm, George S Hughes South Side arena Rangers vs. Garbage Goals (L 4-2) My assist came on the power play as I kept the puck in at the point and threw it on the net and it deflected to Javan M who hit the post and it went to Ryan DV and he scored. This game went back and fourth and had a pretty good pace of play. Both teams had some good scoring chances and both goalies played really well. We out shot them 29 to 22. Javan M 1G & 1A. Ryan DV 1G & 1A. Daniel D 1A.

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.
