Black and Tan Showdown in Thrilling Style
Heading into Week 3 of the playoffs and on a high following their incredible comeback tie versus Team Green last week, Black was feeling confident, poised, and ready to play Team Tan.


Wagstaff once again put on a Conn Smythe-worthy performance in goal, thrilling the fans and pumping up his team. Tan's defense was formidable, and Black struggled to advance the pick past the offensive zone blue line. But then Big strong winger Blakeley finally found a way to get some shots through, ripping his patented wrister from wherever he could, creating chances and sparking some energy from his team. Not long after, Fowler got on the board with his first of the season on a smart play following the puck to the net to bang in a rebound.

On this day however, that one goal was all Black could muster. Despite that, the players showed great character in defeat. A few even putting on "monster" efforts such as defenceman Marks who showed he is an avalanche of strength who can't be moved off the puck when he works his hardest.

Black will no doubt bounce back, as they have all season, and put it all on the line again as they face Team White on Sunday the 20th at 10am.

Go Black Go!!!
