I have now given all the teams more roster sheets. These need to be filled out before each game and given to the score keeper. I've been hearing that only a few of the teams are already doing this every week. This is necessary so that we can accurately record which players are playing in each game.
Remember, you are only supposed to enter the players' numbers that are actually playing in that particular game.

Matt Kreeft of the Flyers and Duncan Vanderwal of the Crusaders are each suspended for the next two games due to their "fight" in the early game last Friday.

This week's early game saw the Flyers' winning streak come to an end. The Crusaders won the game by the score of 3-1. Steve DeBoer once again led the way for the Crusaders with two goals and an assist. A shout-out also goes to Andrew Melville who scored the game winning goal and became a father of twins earlier in the week.

In the middle game, the Omegas were able to successfully kill off a bunch of penalties early on in the game and beat the Stars 8-2. Lance Ross, Freddie VanReenen, and Joe VanReenen each scored twice for the Omegas. Freddie and Joe also got three assists each and are this week's Co-Winners of the Player of the Week honours.

In the late game, the Hawks were able to score three consecutive goals in the third period to complete the comeback and beat the Cougars 3-2. Dave VanOostveen scored twice for the Hawks and Kurt Nutma added the game winner. Jeff Vanderdeen scored both goals for the Cougars.

We will be playing games on Saturday, January 2, 2010!
As I mentioned in an earlier posting, we will not be playing games on Friday, January 1, 2010 because the Point Edward Arena will be closed that day for the holiday.
I have booked ice-time on Saturday, January 2, 2010. The games will be at the Sarnia Arena on Brock St.
If you do not know where the Sarnia Arena is, you can check in the "Rink Locations" section of this website.
We have the ice from 6:30pm until 10:30pm. Here is the schedule for these games:
6:30pm - Hawks vs. Stars
7:50pm - Crusaders vs. Omegas
9:10pm - Flyers vs. Cougars

In the early game, the Cougars beat the Stars 6-4. This victory for the Cougars drops the Stars into sixth place in the standings. The Cougars had pretty much balanced scoring other than Chris Sipkens scoring two of their goals. Greg Wierenga scored two goals and got two assists in the Stars' loss. For his valiant effort, he earns this week's Player of the Week honours.

In the middle game, the Flyers kept up their winning streak by beating the Omegas 4-3 in a battle between the two top teams in the standings. The Flyers got their scoring from four different players. Joel VanVeller's first goal in our league was the game winner. He also added an assist on one of the earlier goals. Matt Zylstra scored twice for the Omegas.

The Crusaders came out on top in the late game by beating the Hawks 4-2. The win moved the Crusaders in a tie with the Hawks for third place in the standings. Kyle Huizinga got a goal and an assist in the Hawks' loss. Steve, Matt, and Jordon DeBoer each got a goal and an assist in the Crusaders' win.
