Hot Rods Suffer First Loss of the Season

Well.... It had to happen at some point! The Hot Rods fell 5-2 to the Gold Members in Division 11 South action on Thursday evening, resulting in their first loss of the season. Trevor Bueckert and Ian Silkstone were the goal scorers for the Hot Rods on a night where the opposing goalie played "Lights Out". 

The Hot Rods got off to their usual slow start, allowing the score to get to 3-0 mid way through the second period. Two quick goals brought the game within reach at 3-2, but the Members scored two more goals late in second to seal the game.  

ICE CHIPS...

- Ian Silkstone was robbed of a second goal when the Gold Members goalie made a windmill kick save on what Silkstone thought was in for sure.

- No "Stuntman of the Game" award was handed out Thursday. The explanation given as to why it was not awarded was "everyone skated like Potter, so no one deserved it". A little harsh, I think...

- Noticably absent in the Hot Rods lineup was Chris Potter, as he was out with an undisclosed upper-body injury. It's probably just coincidence that the only loss of the season was the same game Potter was unable to play... Just sayin'....

- The Hot Rods received word on Thursday that they will be moving up to Division 10 South. In a press conference held Thursday, Hot Rods management stated, "We are looking forward to the challenges ahead, we are going to give 110 per cent, and we want to reassure our fans that we are still just out there to have some fun and have some laughs."
