It was a weird season for my Renegades hockey team this year. We started out in the fourth out of five divisions, and a record of zero wins and six losses through the first six games. Then we strung together a couple of wins in a stretch of about a week. First a 7-4 victory over the Sea Changers. They started out in division three, then got moved down to division four, then got moved down with us to division five.
That last divisional move happened in early June and we were moved, along with the Sea Changers to the lowest division, number five. Before the move we played our last game in division four and defeated the NorAlta Canucks by a score of 10-6.
Once we got moved down we were easily winning most of our games. Our record in division five was 6 and 2 and we only lost two games late in the season... mostly by our own fault.
The Sea Changers finished the season with a record of 8-8, but they were awarded first place because they got a points adjustment on the divisional move. The Chiefs finished 8-7-1 and that overtime loss saw them finish a point ahead of us, in second place. We finished with a .500 record at 8-8 but because we were not awarded any points at the divisional move, we ended up in third place.
The semi final round saw the first place Sea Changers face off against the winner of the wildcard game. They handily defeated the Metalheadz in their first game. The second place Chiefs and my third place Renegades faced off in the other semi-final. Our first game was on July 25th at Grand Trunk Arena. Despite only 8 of our skaters showing up we rallied from behind to win the game 6-5.
I was injured in the first period in a collision behind our net, but managed to finish the game. I certainly didn't contribute much but since we only had three defense, it was good that I could spell off our other two guys. I think it is just a shoulder sprain or some such thing, and hope to be able to play in the second game on August 1st.
