Fresh off the Divisional Championship Victory, and the Conference Championship Loss, the Renegades Hockey Team is now starting the Summer Season. Not much of a break for the guys on the team as it has only been a few weeks since the winter season wrapped up. The guys played our first game of the season last Saturday. I couldn't make it to the game as I was away for the weekend. Many of our other players were also unavailable and we had to play with a short bench. I understand that they kept things close but then the game got blown open near the end and we ended up losing to the Hatrick Swayze's by a score of 6-1. Our second game of the season was on Monday night and we fared a little better in that one, coming from behind to tie the Rhino's 1-1 and then going on to win the game in the shootout.
The league has the courtesy to schedule our games around the schedule of the Edmonton Oilers who are playing in the NHL playoffs right now. The league has also made a point of NOT scheduling any of our games over the May long weekend. As a result we have a bunch of games jammed into a short period of time over the next couple of weeks, after which the schedule will stretch out a bit. Future games are coming up on Thursday of this week, and then Monday and Wednesday of next week. The season runs until late summer, with playoffs continuing into August. Once the season wraps up we will get another short break, with the winter season starting up again in September. I will update our progress from time to time here on my blog.
