So far summer hockey is going really well for the Renegades. We won all three of our pre-season games, and so far have won the first three of the regular season. As previously reported our first regular season game was on Sunday May 15 and we beat the Benders by a score of 7-2.
Then on Wednesday May 18 we played a game against the Chiefs at KofC arena. This was a really poorly officiated game that should have been closer than the final score. It ended with a brawl behind our opponents goal, after their goalie got run by one of our players on a break away. The game ended with a lot of penalties, a couple suspensions, and some hard feelings. Fortunately we finished on the good side of a 6-3 score.
Earlier tonight we played our third game of the season back at KofC arena against a team called The Blast. The officiating was much better, though the referees did call even the slightest little infraction, and there were a lot of penalties. We were leading in the third period by a score of 4-1 when the Blast mounted a comeback. A couple of late goals by the Blast tied the score 4-4 going into the dying minutes. We rallied and managed to score at the end of a nice passing play, with less than a minute remaining, to seal a 5-4 regulation victory.
It's only going to get tougher from here on in so hopefully we can continue with our solid play and winning ways. There are two games coming up next week so I will do my best to get enough guys out and get the roster properly organized.
