Finally! The last Puck Cancer game post! This was the consolation game for the two teams who finished last in their respective divisions and took place on Sunday, August 13, 2007. The Ice Hawks came all the way from Cleveland and like us, placed 4th in the second of two beginner/novice divisions. Like the game against the Talons (see “Puck Cancer Game 3″), this one was really, really close, the team was close to our skill level, and was a lot of fun to play, even though we lost. And we were ahead for most of the game, too! Oh, well. Click on the small picture to a larger version of the 2007 Tigers Puck Cancer Team. #95 is missing because she had a roller hockey championship she was also playing in and #5 isn’t in the picture because she was hurt in the last game, but luckily not badly.
Brian’s Goalie Summary
First Period: Shot from my right-hand face-off circle, went in high.
Tigers 2, Ice Hawks 1.
Second Period: Shutout.
Tigers 2, Ice Hawks 1.
Third Period: The Ice Hawks’s second goal was scored during a scrum in front of our net just after one of our defensewomen accidentally knocked the puck into our crease. Their winning goal was from a breakaway after a turnover.
Final Score: Tigers 2, Ice Hawks 3. (Note that Brian’s stats may not match those reflected on the scoreboard, but since it’s Brian’s summary, I always go by his stats. Besides, most of the time, the scorekeeper doesn’t keep track of the players’ shots on goal.)
