We will play next week Friday (Feb.6) at our regular times at the Point Edward Arena.
7:00pm - Hawks vs. Stars
8:20pm - Ice Dogs vs. Omegas
9:40pm - Flyers vs. Cattle Barons

We will also be playing games at the Clearwater Arena (blue rink) on Saturday, February 7th. Note the following game times:
5:30pm - Flyers vs. Hawks
6:50pm - Omegas vs. Cattle Barons
8:10pm - Stars vs. Ice Dogs

In the late, game between the Hawks & Ice Dogs, Clint Schenk of the Hawks & Wesley Boelens of the Ice Dogs were each given a "10 minute" misconduct. Since this was the first "10 minute" misconduct of the season for both players, they will not be suspended for this.
Clint Schenk also received three minors in the game, and was ejected from the game for doing so. This was the first time that this has occurred for Clint this season, so he will not be suspended for this either. However, since Clint has passed the 30 minute mark in penalties for the season, he is suspended for one game. He cannot play the next game on February 6th, but he is okay to play again on Saturday, February 7th.

The early game saw the Cattle Barons climb back to just one point away from first place by beating the Stars 6-5.
The Stars led 2-1 after the first period, but the Cattle Barons took control of the game by scoring three goals in the second.
Early in the third period, the Cattle Barons scored two more goals and stretched their lead to 6-3. The Cattle Barons looked like they were going to cruise to victory, but when the Stars scored with five minutes left, they pushed for another comeback. The Stars scored one more goal in the dying seconds of the period, but it proved to be too late.
Dale Moesker of the Stars & Andrew Noorloos of the Cattle Barons each had a three point game. Chris Helps had another four point game for the Stars, but we'll give the Player of the Game to Trevor Benjamins. Trevor had four points for the Cattle Barons, including scoring the game winning goal.

The middle game between the Flyers & Omegas was another great game. This time, the Flyers came back to win it 5-3.
The teams went into the second period with a 1-1 tie. The Omegas scored twice in the second, and went into the third holding a 3-1 lead. The Flyers came back to tie the game up at 3-3 in the first seven minutes of the third. The score stayed at 3-3 until the last 40 seconds of the third period, when the Flyers scored. The Omegas pulled the goalie and made a push to tie it up again, but when the Flyers scored into the empty net, the game was over.
We'll have Darryl Poort & Ryan Cross share the Player of the Game honours. Darryl scored two goals for the Flyers, including the last minute game winner. Ryan had a four point game for the Flyers.

The late game between the Hawks & Ice Dogs was also a great game that ended in a 3-3 tie.
The Hawks were up 1-0 after the first period, and 2-1 going into the third. The Ice Dogs came back in the third period by scoring two quick goals. With just under three minutes to go in the third, the Hawks tied it up again. Thanks to some great goaltending on both ends of the rink, nobody was able to score any more goals.
Clint Schenk, Jordan Nydam, & Pat Dam all had two points each for the Hawks, but the two goaltenders deserve to share the Player of the Game in this one. Josh Tamminga & Steve Minten (filling in as the Hawks goaltender) were both stellar.

Steve Minten is the Player of the Week. He was just the second goalie in our league's history to play in all three games in a night. And to top it off - he nearly won all three games! Two wins and a tie is not bad for a night's work. Way to go, Steve!
