Snickas Weekly

As the Calendar turns to 2007, Snickas ended 2006 right where they want to be; on top of the Molson Canadian Monday Night Division. Snickas hold a 1 point advantage over the rest of the league and with 5 teams with 5 points the run to the playoffs should be brilliant.

Snickas wrapped up 2006 with a slug-fest 3-2 win over the Brampton Sharks. Penalties and fights filled the game but it was two plays that will remain in the hearts of the fans that came out that night. Craig Morton, who played on a different planet during the first half of the season scored a Bobby Orr-esque goal. Having his legs taken out from underneath him by the on rushing goalie, Craig somehow managed to control the puck and tuck it in the net while his body was parallel with ice.
The other play was a fantastic stretch leg save by Kirk Burgess moments after Craig's goal, it looked like a sure tap in until the GO GO Gadget right leg of the Snickas goalie stole the chance.

Snickas Stars:
1st Star: Craig Morton, a game winner and an assist on the opening goal of the night.
2nd Star: Chris Morton, like his younger brother Morton Senior banged in a goal and an assist.
3rd Star: Darren Steedman, the sometimes unheralded power forward scooped up 2 assists.

First Half Awards:
Offence: Craig Morton. Leads the league in points with 16 and has registered at least a point in 11 of Snickas 13 games.
Defence: Neil Townsend. Is the top scoring defencemen in the league with 12 points and has a scrappy 18 minutes in penalties to go along with his point totals.

Snickas return to the ice tonight and take on the Swamp Donkeys who sit only a point behind them. The puck drops at 11:15pm in Brampton.
