The New season begins

Its a new season with some new players and some new teams.

For the first time in 6 years the IceHole's did not open the season against the Ironhead's.

The Holes also welcomed 2 new players to the fold, one an imposing figure on D and Ryan's Uncle and the other a slick skating recent SloPitch Champ. Gary and John. Welcome

The game was a re-match of last years Finals against the younger, faster,stronger etc etc Midas team.

Mark stood on his head to keep it close , which was remarkable since he couldn't turn his head to the right.

We staked them to a 4-1 lead going into the 3rd and unlike past Hole teams the energy actually rose in the final period making it a close 4-3 final with an extra player on in the final minute.

If this is any indication how the Holes will fare this year, it looks to be a promising one.

In addition we look forward to the return of Lance and Bert and Mike's new draft choice Jake.

Final Score: Ajax 4 - Icehole's 3

Nice Try, ...... But Midas Ajax just too much for the Icehole's

We tried to keep up with them, but the Icehole's could not get one past the Midas goalkeeper. A goal post here and a crossbar there but no luck in getting one. On the other side they had no trouble in scoring goals. In the end they beat the us by a score of 5 to 0. Oh well better luck next year, at least the Icehole's were able to play the maximum number of  games this year. Oh and 2nd place is a very nice finish based on a 4th place league finish.

Final Score: Midas Ajax 5 - Icehole's 0

Our Prize for 2nd place finish !!!

Icehole's earn a berth in Final's !!!

A well played game by all 16 players who made it out for last nights semi-final game against our nemesis The Iron Heads  All three forward lines did a good job at keeping the undermanned Iron Heads on their toes all night. The Icehole's scored two quick ones in the first period, but the Iron Heads answered with two of there own in the second. But in the third, Al blasted a great shot from the point that deflected off what seems like everyone on the ice and found the back of the net. That proved to be enough and an empty net goal sealed the victory for the Icehole's. Next up Midas Ajax. Another game like this one and we will have ourselves another useless gym bag, but more importantly another championship banner to hang in the rafters.

Final Score: Icehole's 4  - Iron Heads 2

Icehole's Win again finish Third in Round Robin

The Icehole's had a full squad out for last nights final round robin playoff game against Ranger Landscaping. It was a tight checking close game with chances at both ends of the ice. Mark had a stellar night in net making  stop after unbelievable stop, while at the other end all three lines had their chances including a post here and there, and a crossbar. Fortunately the Icehole's scored a goal in the first and it stood up for the entire game as the Icehole's played a solid defensive game, in large part to all five "D" men who came up huge. With this victory the Icehole's ended up with a 3 to 2 record in the playoff's guaranteeing a spot in the Semi-finals on April 7th.

Final Score: Icehole's 1 vs. Ranger Landscaping 0

Tough night for the Icehole's

The goals came early and often last night as the snipers from Midas Ajax out skated and out passed, and  out shot the Icehole's. The Icehole's were trailing them before the ice even has a chance to dry from the flooding. We tried to make a game of it by scoring 3 of our own, but Midas kept attacking and put up 5 more goals.

Final Score: Midas Ajax 8 - Icehole's 3

Icehole's win second playoff game!!

A great all-round game played by the Icehole's last night. Mark played one of his best games of the year taking a few sure goals away from the Iron heads  the defense was solid and the forwards were able to capitalize on there opportunities and put the puck in the net. As a result the Icehole's skated away with a well deserved win. Only sour note on the game was the two late goals we allowed the Iron heads to score.

Final Score: Icehole's 5 - Ironheads 3

Icehole's Win First Playoff game
