It was a great start to the new 2012 House League season, an exciting game right from start to finish. The two teams had not even finished dressing when dressing room “trade rumors” shook up the ranks, and talk of the missing players being put “on waivers”. However cooler heads prevailed as Tony’s attempt to trade two of his forwards for the other team’s two goalies was shot down by the league commissioner as the rule this year is the goalies stick with their drafted teams and don’t play favorites by switching teams like last year (right Cooper, Mr. “Favor the Whites”!!).
The warm ups were quick as the puck bag was not to be found, so warm skaters but cold shooters and goalies hit the ice hard from the first drop of the puck until the final buzzer. The pace was fast with end to end action throughout the game, and the goalies were the stars along with a little help from a few goal posts. The first period was scoreless but the White team struck first with a nice shot by Jake (but awful broomstick afterwards), but the Blacks fought back to tie it with a nifty goal by Elliott as he roofed the puck (and then showed classy restraint by not broomsticking). The shooters went silent for the rest of the second period as the goal tending battle heated up, but two goals in the third by Bryan Dickson in a span of less 5 minutes had fans thinking the flood gates had opened. The Blacks responded to get within one with a nice shot by Joseph along the ice, but that was all she wrote as Quinn and his two goal post buddies denied the Blacks a tying goal even as they pulled Philippe in during the dying seconds.
