The winter hockey season is underway in the Capital City Recreational Hockey League. The Renegades played the first game on Saturday September 7th. I missed that game as I foolishly went to the Edmonton Eskimos CFL football game. That was a terrible game with our Eskimos getting swept in both games of the Labor Day series against the Calgary Stampeders. In hindsight I probably should have gone to the hockey game.... but that one was ugly too....
We had a short bench with only about eight skaters, and got blown out by a team called the Prairie Wind. I think the final score was 10-1.
The team played our second game on September 9th. A late one at 10:15PM against a team called the Wingmen. We had a much better turnout for this one and it was a close game. The score went back and forth through the game and we hung on for a 6-5 victory.
The league has not set any divisions yet. They are watching all the matchups through the first three or four games and then will set some divisional alignments for the rest of the season. They usually don't do all that great a job of this as they don't actually come out and watch any of the games. The decisions are based solely on the stats of the game sheets. I just hope that we get placed into a division where we are competitive.
