Summer Hockey - Game Four

The Renegades played the fourth game of our summer season on Thursday May 15th.  This one was down at Kinsmen Arena on the south side, against the Chiefs.  For a change, a game close to home for me.  The Chiefs have been in the league for a long time, but the guys they have on their roster this summer are mostly not their usual crew.  They have a weaker team this year and really don't fit in Division V.  I think we scored on every shift in the first period and soon were up by a score of 9-0. The Chiefs were good sports about it and just kept on playing.  It sure was a pleasure to play against these guys, and with better officiating I might add, as compared to the game we played earlier in the week against the Raccoons.
We backed off a little to start the second period and tried to let the Chiefs back into the game.  They scored three goals, and then settled in and started playing with a little more determination and energy. The game got a lot more fun at that point.  We scored a couple late goals and ended up winning the game by a final score of 11-3.  I hope these guys get moved down a division so that they can be more competitive, though I will miss playing against a bunch of guys that have such a great attitude.
