|
The 71st edition of COC Ball Hockey saw two closely matched teams battle hard through 100+ minutes of exciting end to end action. Both goaltenders played extremely well in the opening period allowing just 3 goals between them. In the second however, Blue tallied 5 times to build a seemingly comfortable 7-4 lead over Red by the end of the middle frame. Unfortunately for Blue, momentum shifted rapidly in the third as Red stormed back with four unanswered goals to take an 8-7 lead with less than 10 minutes remaining. Not long afterwards, Blue managed to draw even but Red quickly responded with a goal of their own forcing Blue to pull their goalie with just over 2 minutes to go. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at the empty net by Red, Blue tied the game with only seconds remaining after a shot from the point deflected off a body in front setting the stage for sudden death overtime. Both teams had their chances in the extra frame but with only 10 seconds left on the clock, rookie sensation Jackson scored the winner to give Blue a thrilling 10-9 victory!
Afterwards many of us headed over to BP's for some well deserved refreshments before heading home. Thanks for playing everyone, it was a good clean game.
TEAM BLUE: Gary, Duane, Franco, Marcel, Hiro, Connie, Barry, Alan, Jackson, Key and Miguel
