WEEKLY UPDATE

Week 7: Lucky Number 7 -Seven ball hockey games, seven different stories—some close, some not-so-close, and one that ended early thanks to a mercy rule (pour one out for that team). We had a shootout thriller, a few tight back-and-forth battles, and even some crossover matchups to keep things spicy before divisional play kicks off next week.Basically, it was a little bit of everything: domination, drama, and a dash of heartbreak. Buckle up—next week, things get serious!

Lost & Found: Breathe Easy, Folks!

For the second week in a row, we’ve found Symbicort asthma puffers—which, given the action on the floor this week, someone out there definitely needs back. If you’re missing yours (or suddenly feeling extra winded), hit up Dan at [email protected] before next week’s games turn into a real-life endurance test!

Game Recaps

LS vs. ShSt: A Tale of Two Teams (in One Game)- The B Division opener had speed, goals, and a dramatic momentum swing that felt like a plot twist in a sports movie. LS came out firing, netting three straight to take early control. ShSt answered with two of their own, but LS wasn’t fazed—tacking on two more to stretch their lead to 5-2. At that point, it looked like LS had things under control. Looks can be deceiving. ShSt suddenly flipped the switch and went full beast mode, rattling off six unanswered goals (including an empty-netter) to complete the comeback and snatch an 8-5 win. One team started strong, the other finished stronger—and in the end, that made all the difference!

RE vs. OiS: A Tough Farewell Gift- OiS is heading to the B Division next week, but before they left, RE decided to give them a parting gift—a relentless offensive clinic. RE, known for their speed, chemistry, and all-around dominance, put on a masterclass. They pumped in six first-half goals, including a slick shorty, leaving OiS down 6-0 at the break and probably questioning all their life choices. Five minutes into the second, RE made it 7-0, then 8-0 before OiS finally got on the board (moral victories count, right?). RE wasn’t interested in feel-good moments, though. They kept the pressure on, adding three more to wrap things up with an 11-1 mercy win. A dominant performance from RE, and for OiS… well, let’s just say B Division opponents better watch out for a team with something to prove!

Parl vs. PaF: Snooze Buttons & Scoreboards -This A Division showdown started with a few missing faces—apparently, some players lost a battle with their alarm clocks. That left PaF playing short, but they didn’t seem to mind. LParl struck first, scoring four minutes in, but PaF responded with a power-play goal and then went on a tear, scoring three more to jump ahead 4-1. LParl managed a late goal to make it 4-2 at halftime, giving themselves a shot at a comeback. The second half cranked up the intensity—fast, physical, and just toeing the line between clean and chaotic. The score stayed frozen for six minutes before PaF broke through, making it 5-2, then 6-2. LParl pushed back with two late goals, but PaF had already done enough damage. They held on for a 7-4 win, proving that even short-staffed, they could still get the job done!

AT vs. G&G: The Almost-Upset of the Day- On paper, this matchup looked like a "why even bother" kind of game—top team in the A Division vs. the last-place team in B. But on the floor? It was anything but a blowout. G&G came to play and put up their best fight of the season. AT wasted no time, scoring a minute in, but G&G didn’t flinch. They responded with two quick goals to grab their first lead of the game. AT answered right back with back-to-back shifts to regain control, only for G&G to tie it again with five minutes left in the first. Just when it looked like we were headed to halftime all square, AT flexed their elite status with two goals in the final minute to go up 5-3. AT struck right off the opening faceoff in the second to make it 6-3, but G&G refused to roll over, scoring two straight to pull within 6-5 with 16 minutes left. The upset alert was officially on… until AT did AT things, scoring twice in a minute to push the lead to 8-5. G&G got one more but couldn’t complete the comeback, despite keeping AT on their heels until the final whistle. AT stays undefeated, G&G stays winless—but if they keep playing like this, that first W is coming soon!

GB vs. VitD: No Comeback, Just a Vitamin Deficiency- The first Draft League game of the day was, well… pretty one-sided. VitD gave it their all, but GB had the upper hand from the get-go and never let go. GB came out firing, netting the first three goals before VitD finally got on the board. Any hope of a comeback was short-lived as GB answered with two more to stretch the lead. VitD showed some fight, clawing back to 5-3, but that was as close as they’d get. The teams traded goals to make it 6-4, but GB had the final say, rattling off three straight to cruise to a 9-4 win. VitD might need a stronger dose next game—because GB made sure they left this one feeling a little drained!

BKDQ vs. PP: A Game So Wild, Even the Scoreboard Needed a Timeout - Game 6 was pure chaos—in the best way possible. Leads flipped more times than a pancake, with neither team ever going up by more than a goal. Every time one team pulled ahead, the other came roaring back. With just a minute left, BKDQ finally thought they had it, taking a 5-4 lead. But PP had other plans—scoring with FOUR SECONDS left to tie it 5-5 and send this rollercoaster to a shootout. The first round? Goalies-only highlight reel. In the second, BKDQ finally broke through, scoring the only shootout goal while PP came up empty. BKDQ wins a thriller, 6-5! Heart rates were high, fingernails were chewed, and in the end, BKDQ walked away victorious—while PP walked away wondering how four seconds could feel so long.

GB vs. VitD: Revenge Served Ice Cold - Both teams were back for their second game of the day, running on fumes and probably questioning their life choices. GB had already won the first matchup 9-4, but VitD came into this one looking for payback—and they got it in spectacular fashion. The first half was a scrappy, back-and-forth battle between two exhausted squads. GB struck first, VitD tied it, then GB quickly made it 3-1. VitD cut it to 3-2, but GB wasn’t having it, extending their lead to 4-2. Just when it looked like GB had control, VitD flipped the script, scoring three straight to take a 5-4 lead into halftime. Then, in the second half… well, only one team showed up on the scoreboard.VitD took over like a team possessed, pouring in six unanswered goals and leaving GB in the dust. Final score? 11-4. From tired to on fire, VitD got their revenge, and GB got a harsh reminder that second games of the day can be brutal!
