Golden Skate

2009.05.03

On Sunday night, we had what could be our last Red-White outing for a few months.

Even though it was Golden Week, we managed to get 10-12 team members out and Ogi called out some friends/spares to give us 10 skates aside, so thanks to all who were able to make it out.

Much like the previous Red/White tilt, this one started out with Red jumping out to a quick lead. Guy and Chuck were working well together and one little whipper-snapper in an orange jersey had us asking "Naoki who?" The Harrison Bros, Dennis and Tim Laurie were also looking good in the early going and pretty soon it was 4-0.

But, once again, the lead would not last as White battled back with Patty Mo and Mike Larose leading the charge, complemented by the crusty old Killer on D and the hard-working trio of Ogi, Dan and Chaw-dog up front.

I believe the final score was something like 10-8 White, but a good time was had by all and nobody got hurt.

As mentioned, Jingu rink will close down for maintenance from May 8-July 16. If anyone knows of any alternate ice time available or of any teams who are looking for games in that period, please let us know and we will follow up. Chiba, Vanguards, Pirates, Monsters, Okinawa, Nikko ... we're up for anyone so bring it on. We will keep you posted on any possible games upcoming.
