4th Session Wrap up - 3rd Place!

What an exciting way to finish the 4th session!

As we approach the official anniversary and the end of our first season what better way to end it with an exciting 5-4 victory for 3rd place over Project Mayhem!

This season has been an absolute blast, as we finished with our first winning record! We finished 6-3-1!

In last nights game Bryce and Kevin Guthrie each had two goals with Antoine having one as well. The game started with the Mayhem putting a tremendous amount of pressure on us. They clearly manhandled us throughout the first period. Luckily we are able to take a two goal lead entering the 2nd period. The Mayhem had a nice wrister from my right that found the back of the net quickly into the 2nd period. From this point forward we seemed to turn the tide eventually scoring two goals within 8 seconds late in the period.

We continued to dominate the 3rd period when about 1/3rd of the way through Kevin Guthrie through in what turned out to be the game winning goal. With just 7:00 remaining in the game the Mayhem proved they were not going to quit! The bettered our two goals in less than 10 seconds by scoring 3 goals in just over a minute! Now the heat was on!

Thank goodness our defense stepped up and even with the Mayhem pulling their goalie with 1:40 remaining we are able to hold on for a 5-4 victory!

It was a fantastic season as my first as goalie, we had quite a few changes with Kevin Guthrie joining the team, losing Scott Lynch with an injury. It seems we have finally figured out the strengths and weaknesses of everyone and have a good handle on the lines!

No rest for the weary! The Spring '09 session starts this next Saturday with our first of two practices!
