The Hot Rods clinched the NCHL Tier 2 - Div C
South Division Championship, beating the Beermen 6-1. The
Beer men hit the scoresheet first, but the Hot Rods battled back with 6
unanswered goals. The game was full of highlights, but surprisingly, no goals from Dean
Tuttle.
The Hot Rods played the best defensive game of the year on
the night they needed it most. And it started with the goaltending. Tayler
Delannoy played a solid game in net for the Rods, but the best part of his
evening was registering a goal on the scoresheet, the first goal as a goalie in
his life. The Beermen were down 4-1 at that point, playing with a net empty
late in the game. Tayler made a great save on a shot from the point that
bounced into the corner. When the forward for the opposition tried to pass it
out to the defenseman, the defenseman missed the pass and the puck slid all the
way down the ice and into the net. Tayler was the last one to touch the puck
therefore he registered the goal. For his accomplishment, Taylor kept the puck
as a keepsake.
Unfortunately, the Rods didn't fair as well in the City Finals, losing each of the first 2 games in the best of 3 series versus the Benders. Great effort by everyone, but came up just short.
