Winter Hockey - Games 9 and 10

The Renegades continue to play games against teams from the South Conference of our league in the days before the Christmas break.  This week we played back to back late games, on Tuesday and Wednesday.  After two in a row I'm really feeling the effects of these late nights and need to catch up on some sleep tonight.
On Tuesday night we played a game against a team called the Canadian Mooseheads.  The game was at Millwoods Arena and didn't start until 10:30PM.  We had the lead a couple times during the game but it ended up tied at the end of the third period.  It went to a shootout to decide the winner and we ended up losing the game by a score of 6-5.
Then last night we played out at the Leduc Recreation Center against a team called the Griffins.  This one wasn't quite as late an ice time, with the game getting underway at 9:15PM.  We fell behind early by a score of 2-0 but then battled back.  At one point we were up by three goals and eventually coasted to a 7-5 victory.
We have now played three games against the south conference and have a record, so far, of 2 wins and an overtime loss.  Nice to get 5 of a possible 6 points and move our way up in the standings a little.  We have one more game before Christmas, and then there will be a break from league play over the holidays.
