Catching up with Hockey Scores

I have fallen behind in posting hockey scores for recent Renegades games.  We have had five games scheduled over a stretch of 11 days, so there has been a lot of hockey.  In fact, in a few minutes I will be packing my gear and getting ready for another game later tonight.  Add to this the turmoil of the renovations going on at home and it has been a busy couple of weeks.  We won three of our last four games, all of which I played in with my broken toe.  We hope to continue our winning ways later tonight...!

On Wednesday June 10th we played a game at 7:45PM at Castledowns Arena against the Xtreme.  These guys used to be regular opponents of ours a few years back, and this is the first time we have faced off against them in a couple of years.  We scored a late goal for a narrow 2-1 victory.

On Saturday June 13th we played a game at 5:00PM back at Castldowns Arena against a team called the Blue Streak.  We had a full roster, and a solid backup goaltender, and I thought we played one of our better games of the year.  Despite that we were soundly defeated by a 5-1 score.

On Tuesday June 16th we played a game at 8:00PM at KofC Arena against the Gators.  We have had some heated battles against these guys in the past and in fact the last time we won a championship, a couple years ago, the Gators were our opponents.  We spotted them to an early 3 goal lead, including one that we scored on our own net.  But then we dug down and really started to play, eventually winning by a 4-3 score.

Then last Thursday June 18th we played a game at 6:30PM at Clare Drake Arena at the University of Alberta, against the Chiefs.  These guys were also regular opponents of ours in the past.  We were a few skaters short, had a backup goalie, but played our best game of the season.  We won easily by a score of 7-1, and I walked away with 2 assists.

We find ourselves in 3rd place out of 10 teams, after that last game against the Chiefs.  Hopefully we can continue our winning ways as we make a push through the last five or six games of the regular season, into the playoffs.
