Game 3 Report

The Hot Rods Hockey Club beat the Blues 5-3 in NCHL South action Monday night, in a game where Tony Schellenberg missed the net when it would have been impossible for it to be any more empty.

Greg Walker and Dean Tuttle each had 2 goals in the game, with Tom Hautzinger picking up the other goal in his first game back after injury. Schellenberg did not convert on the wide open net though.

Walker was able to pick up his first goal right before buzzer for the end of the first period. The Hot Rods won the draw with 3.4 seconds left on the clock and Walker cashed in the rebound on a shot from the point, unlike Schellenberg in the open net.

Scott Kasaboski made some amazing saves for the Rods, including a beauty glove hand on a clapper from one of the Blues defenceman. Maybe Tony needed a goalie like Scott in the net in order to score.

Dean Tuttle earned the Amateur Stuntman of the Game Award for his two goals, including a hell of a snipe to pretty much seal up the game for the Rods. By the way,  Tony missed a wide open net.

2016 Summer Season - Game 1

The Hot Rods Hockey Club started the 2016 Summer Hockey Season off with a victory, winning 4-2 over Nuclear Winter.

After a quick goal from Nuclear Winter, Chris Potter scored what could be the nicest goal of the Summer Season early in the first period to tie the game 1-1. Reid Tanigami later put the Rods up 2-1 on the power play with a laser from the point. By the end of the first,  Nuclear Winter had the game tied 2-2.

Tony Schellenberg was able to pot a clapper from the circle in the 2nd period, and Tom Hautzinger put the game on ice with a shot from the point. Unfortunately, his age is started to show as he heard something "pop" when he shot the puck. He was unable to finish the game, but he was fortunately able to drink a few beers. He did complain of discomfort when laughing really, really hard at an extremely long and airy fart by a teammate in the parking lot.

The Hot Rods posted the most total penalty minutes in a game on Wednesday night, with Kevin "Goon" Csada leading the way. Not sure what a kneeing penalty is but whatever. The Rods were given a speech about the importance staying out of the box. The giver of the speech then proceeded to be the next guy to head to the box......

Luckily for the Hot Rods, Scott Kasaboski was able to stop both penalty shots for the 6th and 7th infractions they received. This and his stellar play throughout the game earned Scott the Amateur Stuntman of the Game Award as the Hot Rods player of the game.

Nice win boys!!!
