Mon, Nov 12 2012 - Ball Hockey (View Original Event Details)
|
The lockout has ended, the lockout has ended!!! Well for COC players anyway. After an almost 6 month absence, ball hockey finally returned to the COC calendar today in what turned out to be a real thriller between the Red & Green squads this afternoon.
The game started off somewhat casually as players tried to find their legs after a lengthy layoff. In the first period, Red jumped out to a comfortable 6-2 lead before Green battled back to draw within 2 before the intermission. In the second frame, the intensity level grew as players began to pick up the pace resulting in an exciting 10-10 deadlock after two. In the third and final frame, teams traded goals multiple times but when the final buzzer sounded, nothing was solved as the scoreboard read 17-17. With no games scheduled immediately following ours we proceeded with a sudden death overtime which lasted upwards of 20 minutes before Red finally solved Yannick to win the game.
Without a doubt this had to be one of the most exciting games we've ever experienced in the COC and I want to thank all who participated for keeping it fun and friendly. Special thanks as well to our goalies Yannick and Brayden for a job well done in goal today!
TEAM RED: Duane, Connie, Michelle, Marcel, Jit, Franco, Liza, Alan, Brayden, Rob and Meeka

After the game, many of us headed to Limericks for a great time of food and fellowship. Thanks for playing, see you next time!
