The Renegades are doing really well so far this summer. We are now six games into our 15 game regular season, and will continue playing until the third week of July. At that point the playoffs will get underway. We went through the three game pre-season undefeated. Then we started out the regular season with three more wins. We lost our fourth game, against a team called the Mighty Peking Ducks, and to make matters worse our goaltender was injured in the game. While I was away in Pincher Creek the guys managed another win, with a short bench, over a team called the Crestwood Rockets. Then, earlier this week we played a game against the Raccoons. This team was the best opponent that we have faced so far this summer. We played a good first and third period, but didn't do very well in the middle frame. We ended up losing the game by a 7-2 score. We had a backup goaltender playing in place of our injured regular goalie. That wasn't really the problem as Mark played a really solid game and kept us in it. This loss left us with a regular season record of 4 wins and 2 losses so far. This is good for a tie for second place against the Raccoons. We play again tomorrow night, so hopefully we can turn things around and stay near the top of our division. We have two more games next week and I understand that our goalie is recovered and will be back to play in goal for us. It seems that this season the league did a pretty good job of setting up our division and we seem to be well matched with our opponents. For the most part the games have been pretty close.
