An end of an Era?

With Ranger Landscaping defeating the Gators the Icehole's fate was decided before we took to the ice. We played strong for two periods but in the end could not keep up with Ranger Landscaping. That has been the story all year long, All the other teams seamed to get younger and faster, and the Icehole's just didn't have an answer this year. It was a fun year, with a few laughs and a few beers, which is really why we torture ourselves year after year anyway. Well if this is really the end of the Icehole's it was a good ride, some highs and some lows but in the end  it was just a good time.

Final Score: Midas Ajax 6 - Icehole's 2

THE END ? ...

Not the result we were hoping for!

The much younger Gators seemed to want this game more than the Icehole's and in the end out skated the Icehole's to a victory. And with that loss the Icehole's will need a victory against Midas Ajax next with along with a Ranger Landscape loss in order to move on to the semi final's again this year.

Final Score: Gators 5 - Icehole's 0

4th place after 3 playoff games

After our first 3 playoff games the Icehole's have one victory, with one more, we might squeeze onto the next round.

Brad's Write up of Game 2: In what was our best defensive effort all year 

(Team Canada would have been proud) Nine Icehole's took to the ice. Bob started the scoring off with a sharp angle shot that beat the Ranger goalie high stick side. With their first lead in a very long time the Iceholes played a tight defensive system. Forwards back-checked and the 3 man defence played strong allowing Mark to see shots and not allowing follow-up chances.

With just under 2 minutes left the Rangers pulled their goalie and with the extra attacker applied pressure but the Iceholes defence bent but never broke and Al sent a shot from his end that curled ever so sweetly into the Rangers empty net to give the Iceholes a well deserved 3-1 victory!With the score knotted at 1 Remy put one in the back of the net after a scramble in front of the Rangers net.

Finish season on losing note

Final Score: Mavericks 5 - Icehole's 2

another loss

Final Score: Midas 4 - Icehole's 0

One more loss on the pile!

Started OK, but ran out of steam in the third period. It was 3 - 2 going into the third period then 5 unanswered goals.

Final Score: Enviroshield 8 - Icehole's 2

Another loss!

What more can be said, too few players, too few chances for and too many chances against. Hopefully the playoff's bring a more positive result.

Final Score: Ranger Landscaping 3 - Icehole's 1

Same old, same old!

Another loss for the struggling Icehole's, lack of a bench and finish kill the Icehole's again.

Final Score: Enviroshield 6 - Icehole's 1

No Finish again

The Icehole's played a typical Icehole's game, had chances but couldn't finish. Mark played well and made a ton of great saves but Midas was Johnny on the spot all night, and in the end were too young and too fast for the Icehole's.

Final Score: Midas Ajax 6 - Icehole's 1

Close, but not quite enough

Icehole's had the largest turnout all year, but that wasn't enough to propel them too their second straight victory. Instead they lost a close one to the Mavericks, they were close in the dying seconds but in the end the Mavericks sealed the victory with an empty net goal.

Final Score: Mavericks 4 - Icehole's 2

Victory!!!

A great start and a great finish to an Icehole's victory, the Icehole's got out to a quick 4 goal lead but the Gators chipped back slowly but surely, and tied it up in the third period, but Mike had a huge end to end rush capped off with a great deek on the Gators goalie and ensuring that the Icehole's hold on to this victory.

Final Score: Icehole's 5 - Gators 4

Almost a victory in forfeit

In one of the better results for this season, the Icehole's lost a close match against Enviroshield. Better luck next week!  The forfeit worked out well for Icehole's.

Final Score: Enviroshield 1 - Icehole's 0

Gators Destroy Icehole's

Even though the Icehole's had a better than expected turnout last night, due to Bob's return, Remy's friend Brad and Bert showing his face past 9:30. It all meant nothing as the Gators started scoring early and often. While the Icehole's were on able to manage one goal on very few sots on net.

Final Score: Gators 9 - Icehole's 1

No finish proves costly

The Icehole's had every opportunity to win this game, but a lack of finish  results in the Icehole's 10th loss of the season. Mark played well in net, the defense was pretty good, our positional play was good, but 4 to 5 missed scoring opportunities, especially the wide open net I missed, killed any opportunity for the Icehole's to win this game. But it was nice to get out to a two to nothing lead for a change.

Final Score: Ajax Midas 3 - Icehole's 2

Winning streak will have to wait until next game

Good effort by the Icehole's but not enough firepower. Strong game by Mark in net again.

Final Score: Ranger Landscape 3 - Icehole's 1

Tough Loss for the Icehole's

Another tough loss, there were some chances but not enough finish. Better luck next week.

Final Score: Gators 3 - Icehole's 2

Icehole's play Ironman hockey

With only 6 skaters the Icehole's had to play Ironman hockey last night with each skater only getting 3 breaks all game. Considering the tiered legs and not being able to catch our breath the whole game the result wasn't that bad.

Final Score: EnviroShield 4 - Icehole's 0

Another loss for the Icehole's

Hard fought game, but the bounces didn't go the Icehole's way. Lots of chances though.

Final Score: Ranger Landscaping 3 - Icehole's 1

Mavericks defeat Icehole's again

For the second time this year, the Mavericks took it to the Icehole's last night. The Icehole's managed to get out to a quick 2 to 0 lead but the Mavericks came back with a vengeance and scored 7 unanswered goals.

Final Score: Mavericks 7 - Icehole's 2
