The Wrap: Snickas vs. Brampton Sharks

November 14th, 2006
It was Surf and Turf time for Snickas last night as they filleted the Brampton Sharks 2-1.

Snickas took to the ice missing 5 regulars but still found away to halt their 2 game losing streak. The game itself lacked a lot of energy but that could be easily blamed on the 11:15pm start time. After a scoreless first period, Snickas found the net twice in the opening minute of the second period, the Sharks scored late ruining the shutout bid but the game was never as close as the scoreboard read. Long periods of the game were spent in the Sharks end as Snickas dominated possession.

Snickas 3 Stars:
1 - Neil Townsend, the big blueliner was all over the ice and his second period powerplay goal ended up being the game winner.
2 - Kent Burgess, the super sub goaltender was a minute away from a shutout. Wasn't busy but was solid if not spectacular when called upon. Kent's Snickas career record when filling in for his brother now sits at 3 wins and 2 ties. Goalie controversy??????
3 - Dan Tojeira, the winger had the most jump out of any of the Snicka forwards and his hard worked paid off when he banged in the games opening goal.

League Notes:The first place Milton Chiefs have been promoted to the A Division, being relegated to the B Division was the Sports Unlimited Storm. Snickas will get their first look at the new team in 3 weeks.
