Hot Rods Season Opener

The Hot Rods Hockey Club kicked off the 2017-2018 winter season with a 5-1 victory over the Eh Team II on Friday, Sept. 15. Some credited the win to their lucky charms, the new Hot Rods HC hats.

John Barlow was stellar in net keeping the Hot Rods in it throughout the whole game, stopping multiple breakaways. 

After a scoreless first period, it didn't take long for the Rods to get their first goal, coming a couple minutes into the second period. Who else should open the scoring but the leading scorer from last season, Tony Schellenberg. The Hot Rods then proceeded to get goals from 4 more players, Nick Giannoulis, Keith Pelletier, Ian Silkstone and Cam Campbell.

Barlow had the shutout going through most of the third period, but after a broken play in the defensive end, it was not meant to be.

The refs chose Andrew McAllister as the player of the game due to the fact that despite his favorite ref calling the game, he didn't receive one penalty and he dint call anyone a c#*t!

Next game is Monday, Sept 18 at 9 pm at Scott Seaman against the Aces.
