The Wrap: Snickas vs. SU Storm

Crushed by an avalanche of first period goals, Snickas fall to the SU Storm 6-3.

As quickly as they were up 1-0, Snickas soon found themselves down 3-1. All 3 of the Storms goals were rockets to the top right corner. In what was was arguably his worst outing of the year, Snickas netminder Kirk Burgess was visibly shaken after the game; "You never want to lay an egg like that. They're good team and I bet they're setting over there thinking they have our number. I think we get them one more time this year and hopefully we'll see a different result."
Snickas were able to get a goal back by the end of the first but after a scoreless second period the flood gates opened again in the third. The hard forecheck of the Storm coupled with some questionable officiating seemed to have Snickas on their back heels for most of the night. Snickas remain first in the Molson Canadian Division but now by just 1 point.

Snickas Stats:
Goals: Paul Stinnett 2 (7,8) & Kevin Wright (4)
Assists: Darren Steedman (5), Neil Townsend (10), Kevin Wright (7) & Craig Morton (12)

League Notes:
Due to some unbalanced results in the A and B Divisions, Snickas well now have some new (and old) faces to contend with for the remainder of the season. Bottom feeders HSBC Banks and the Brampton Sharks have been relegated from the B Division. Taking their spots are the Milton Chiefs and Mississauga Mooseheads, who were relegated from the A Division.
Snickas have never faced the Mooseheads before but it's the return of their long time league rivals the Milton Chiefs that should spice up the remainder of the season.

Both of the new teams are placed in the bottom half of the standings, but the Chiefs track star Chris Clarke assumes the League Scoring lead over Craig Morton.

Snickas get their first look at the league newbies next week when they face the Mooseheads, but it's February 5th when one of Mens League Hockey's greatest rivalries resumes when Snickas face the Chiefs.
