Winter Hockey - Game 11

The Renegades played a game at 9:00 this morning against a new team, STankey.  Not sure what the name means or how it is supposed to be pronounced.  These guys won all of their games down in the lowest division, before being moved up into our Division with the first realignment.
It was a challenge to get enough guys out to the rink for this game as several of our regulars were away, and two are suspended.  Despite some last minute cancellations I managed to get 9 forwards, 5 defense and our goalie out for the game.  
It was a penalty filled affair with a total of 21 minor penalties,,, 12 for them and 9 for us.  I took one for roughing when I dumped one of their guys heavily along the boards.  We outshot them 32-16 and won the game by a score of 6-4.  I think the score could have been a lot more lop-sided was it not for the fact that they had a hot goalie, and ours had an off game.  Kris let in 4 goals on 16 shots, and a couple of them were pretty soft.  But the win is what matters as is puts an end to our losing streak and we can hopefully gain some confidence and turn things around.
