Game #3 vs The Oasis

Well tonight The Believers were short players but not short of energy or heart.With five regulars out of the lineup,each member had to pick up their game and so they did.Flyin Ryan Hollett led the way with an impressive performance picking up 3 goals while Matt Stark had another solid game scoring the final goal in the 4-4 tie.The Believers spent too much time in the penalty box,as the Oasis were 1 for 5 on the PP.Although the game got a little chippy,communication lines stayed open,and cooler heads prevailed.The solid D of Scott Hesse,and especially Ken Dame kept the shots down and cleared the rebounds for Goaltender Dave Skead,who had an extremely great game.His strong positional play and quick glove robbed the Oasis of 3 or 4 sure goals.A special thanx to Larry Bedard ,the teams future full time coach,for positive feedback,encouraging words,and obvious great knowledge of the game.Also thanx to cameraman Bob Ennis who began work on the movie,which will be released at a later date.Unfortunately Bryce Hamre had to leave the game early with an ankle injury.We hope and pray that it is nothing too serious,and look forward to the Hamre Bros ready for our next game March 7 vs New Life Baptist at 8:30 in Lake Cowichan.Great effort Boyz !!
