We had another early ice time and a short bench with a disorganized roster. This has been typical of many of the Renegades games this summer. Everyone is so busy at this time of year and it is difficult to get enough players out to our games. This game was important, because we needed to at least tie in regulation time to clinch a playoff spot. We were playing the Gators, the team that we defeated to win the championship last winter. So far this summer, they have defeated us every time we played. But this game would be different. Though we only had 11 players, they also had about the same number. And... it was our turn to wear the lucky white jerseys. By some strange coincidence, every time we played these guys over the last two seasons, the team designated the "visitors" and wearing white jerseys, has won the game. That tradition continued as we soundly defeated them by a score of 7-4. This guarantees us a playoff spot. We have one more regular season game at the beginning of next week and then we roll into a very compressed playoff schedule. We could potentially play as many as eight games in a little over two weeks. Summer hockey will wrap up by the end of the month and then there is an off-season of about five weeks before winter hockey starts up again in September.
