Snickas & HSBC Bank skate to a 4-4 tie.
“At least we didn’t lose”, said one of the players and that’s all that can really be said about last night’s performance. Snickas blew leads of 3-1 and 4-2 and the tie leaves Snickas with 3 points to show from their first 2 games.
The tie probably felt more like a loss for Snickas, 5 minutes before the puck dropped the Commissioner of the League came into the locker room and told the guys to “go easy out there tonight” because HSBC are going to be relegating next week. Not what you want to hear seconds before you hit the ice. The thoughts going through the boys minds of coming out and jumping all over one of their long tine league rivals were now tainted, a week of preparation out the window.
Last night’s game saw the return of Kirk Burgess to the Snickas goal. Kirk missed last week and look pretty good in his first outing of the season. All four goals were scored in tight off rebounds and defensive zone breakdowns, but the Snickas keeper showed no rust on the long shots making several key saves to help Snickas get at least a point.
Man of the Match: Craig Morton. The Snickas sniper continued his hot start to the season by scoring one of the prettiest wristes you’ve ever seen.
Next week Monday Snickas take on The Brampton Sharks. Puck drop is at 10:15pm.
Snickas Weekly Note: The Hockey club is looking for volunteers to sell 50/50 tickets at some upcoming games. Proceeds from the 50/50 tickets will go to buying new uniforms for the guys.
