Hot Rods Improve to 3-0

The Hot Rods Hockey Club had a bit of a slow start on Thursday night, but was able to come away with a victory. The final score ended up 3-2 over a well-rounded Rhinos III squad.

As always, goalie John Barlow set up a wall and allowed only 2 goals, both of which came after unfortunate bounces.

Cam Campbell had 2 goals on the night, one of which he put top shelf on the power-play. Afterwards, he was told by officials it was too nice of a shot. He claims the puck was on end, but I'm pretty sure he has been practicing that shot in his garage for a while now.

ICE CHIPS......(Lots from last nights game)
- In an unselfish attempt to help Berk get on the scoresheet, Nick rang a pass off the post on an empty net near the end of the game. Unfortunately, Berk was unable to capitalize as he was being checked by a girl.
- Josh has yet to tally a point in the 3 games so far but claims his CORSI rating is through the roof. I think he's just making up words now.....
- After being hacked in the back of the legs away from the play, Marc made a good decision to get into a war of words as opposed to a fight with the guy who was guilty of the incident. When asked in a post-game interview why he didn't drop the gloves, he responded, "I paid seven hundred fucking dollars to play, I'm not getting kicked out for the season!" Well said Sir... well said.

Hot Rods Win Again!!!

The Hot Rods' second game of the season was another fun outing. Kevin Csada had 2 goals and an assist, leading a fired up Hot Rods squad to a 10-3 win over a tough and willing opponent in the Slack Shotz. We had a few new faces on the ice this game and it looks like we are a team ready to take on whoever comes our way, no matter who comes out to play for the Rods.

Looking forward to the upcoming games.

ICE CHIPS.... Every single Hot Rod skater hit the score sheet in this game.... except for one... You know who you are Josh!!!

Hot Rods Open Season with Decisive Win!

Brian Galambos scored a hat trick and John Barlow was rock-solid in net, leading the Hot Rods Hockey Club to a convincing 8-2 win over the Drillers to take their first game of the 2015-16 NCHL season.
All 3 lines were firing and contributed to the score sheet, with the defence doing a good job of pinching when given the opportunity. During an in-game interview, D-man Tyler Faso stated, "I thought we were playing posts....", after hitting the crossbar on 2 separate occasions. 
The Hot Rods are currently rocking a 1-0 record so far this season with their next game on Thursday, Sept. 17th at 10:30 p.m. vs. the Slack Shotz at Scott Seaman Arena. 

ICE CHIPS......The Hot Rods actually scored all 10 goals of the game with Tom Hautzinger and Reid Tanigami tipping in shots behind their own goaltender.
