Two and Out

The summer hockey playoffs ended for the Renegades as quickly as they started.  We finished the regular season in third place, and matched up against the sixth place Riverfolk-2 in the first best-of-three round.  We had an awful showing in the first game and ended up getting blown out 8-0.  Our guys came back to the rink for our second game on August 1st, much more focused and ready to play.  We still didn't play up to what I thought we were capable of and ended up falling short.  We lost a close game in regulation time by a score of 6-5.  This put an end to our summer season.
I still really enjoy playing hockey and feel disappointed that our season came to an end so quickly.  But part of me really appreciates the break from hockey as the team has been playing every week since early September of 2017.  We now get a few weeks off to relax and recharge and can come back to the rink to start the next winter season in about a month.
