On a cold February night of hockey, it was snowing outside, but “raining” goals on the inside. What was almost a mini, turned into 2 full teams, with the level of talent on the floor top tier. With the extra bodies, The boys turned up the time limit to allow for a little more hockey, and man was it exciting.
Bullwinkle’s Wet & Wild – Hobbs, Andrew, Snowy, Chevy, Bullwinkle, Professor, Shack, Big Ned, Terror in Net
Swifty’s Squiters – Soupy, Sunny, Matador, Swifty, Animal, Flintstone, Tonto, Flower in Net
The first game saw the teams trading goals back and forth, with the Wet & Wild taking it 6-5 on a late goal. Goaltending, as usual, was impeccable, with the Terror looking in Tournament form, standing on his head all night long!
The speed of the Wet & Wild took over in the second game, dominating play as the tired Squiters just couldn’t keep up, losing 11-5.
After the first game it was discovered that the hall had a water issue, with what appeared to be a burst pipe on the women’s washroom. Soupy and Chevy went to check it out, and after going into the bowels of the church, Detective Chevy was able to find the main water shut off and stop the damage. But not before the entire banquet hall was flooded with
2” of water. Soupy was quick with the measurement, knowing what 2” looks like. Shout out to Chevy for going to get a couple sump pumps to help some of the water out. Hopefully the damage isn’t too bad, and the hall can get it all rectified without any disruption to hockey.
On Stage afterwards, the boys were discussing captains for the upcoming tournament. Suggestions are Hobbs, Swayze, Big Ned, and Soupy, but that is still up for debate, with rocky having the final say.
See you all next week, looking forward to another great turnout!
Terror made a new friend after hockey.
