Well, the winning streak was short lived, and we lost again. It was a close game but we went down to the Biohazard by a score of 6-4. We actually scored our fifth goal of the game just as the clock ran out, but it was too little too late.
We have two games left in the regular season, and need to win at least one of them to have any hope of making the playoffs. As much as I am worn out by playing hockey every week for the past 10 months, I'd still like to see the Renagades string together a bit of a playoff run. Whatever happens, hockey will be done before the end of July, and then we have a month off before the winter season gets underway in September.
As team captain and manager it is my job to now work towards putting together the roster and collecting league fees for the upcoming winter season. It costs over $11,000 in league fees and insurance to put a team on the ice... a little over $700 per full time player. It is a challenge to get 16 full time players to commit to this and put their money on the line. I've been doing it for over 7 years and 14 seasons now, and have got pretty used to the drill. Every year someone bails out at the last minute and I am left scrambling to fill the roster and collect enough cash to pay league fees. Hopefully this year will be different as we have a championship to defend...
