The Hot Rods Hockey Club fought hard for their third straight win, beating the Bounty Hunters 4-3 in NCHL action Sunday night. After falling 2-0 early in the first, the Rods were able to get within 1 by the end of the frame on a nice goal by Ian Silkstone.
Henry Leaver scored early in the second to tie the score 2-2. The second period ended with a total of 8 penalties between the two teams and even more animosity.
Nick Giannoulis took the score to 3-2 with a quick shot right off a faceoff win by Kevin Csada. Chris Potter got the eventual game winner not long after the Giannoulis goal, in what was clearly poetic justice for multiple elbows and crosschecks to the head and upper body area late in the second. His effort somehow earned him the Amateur Stuntman of the Game Award. The Bounty Hunters would pull within one late in the third but the Hot Rods were able to stymie any hopes of a come back, making the final 4-3 for the good guys.
ICE CHIPS......
- Trevor Bueckert had the opportunity to take a penalty shot after drawing the sixth penalty on the Bounty Hunters. He knew he was going crest from the red line.
- Tayler Delannoy took a break from his goalie sub duties to play defence in place of his brother. Although he had one questionable shot that looked like one Josh would take, he may be asked to fill that role a little more often.
- Ian Silkstone had a rough game in front of the net. It was a great distraction so his line mates could score.... Although he might not agree that it was worth it.
