It was a nice day to drive up the 400 to CFB Borden yesterday with sunny skies taking over from the wind and snow that is more characteristic of the region. While driving through the base you would think you were in just any subdivision until you start spotting tanks and other military vehicles parked along the route to Andy Anderson Arena. For those who are wondering, Andy Anderson is a 36 year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. The last time we played Clearview, our opponents were seriously undermanned with only 9 skaters. Yesterday they had their full lineup and provided much more of a challenge although at the end we maintained a territorial advantage for much of the game. Although we didn't manage to go penalty free again, the trend to fewer penalties (only 3 yesterday) continued. Two power play goals and continuing strong goaltending from Nicki who registered a 4th straight shutout brought the Storm a 3-0 win over Clearview. Scorers were Heather, Sheri and Jackie. Play of the game was Mari who rushed through the entire Clearview team before being pulled down in front of their net to take away a great scoring chance.
Next game is against Georgina who will provide much more of a challenge. NOTE TO ALL PLAYERS. AS I PLACE MY SKATES INTO MY HOCKEY BAG, I WILL CHECK TO SEE THAT MY BLADES ARE SHARP SO I DO NOT FALL DOWN REPEATEDLY DURING GAME.
