Twisters Late Rally Sinks Ratz
St. Andrews, NB – Chris Young’s second marker of the game in the third period propelled the Blackland Twisters in their defeat of the Bonny River Ratz 6-3 in FIHL Thursday night action in St. Andrews. Jeff Penney, Jordon Morrow, George Estey and Chris Nelson added singles to round out the Twisters’ scoring. J. J. Hyslop stood tall between the pipes to gain the W.
The Ratz got a pair from Jason McFarlane and a single from Greg Justason in response to the Twisters’ offense. Nick Ganong filled in admirably for the Ratz in net and received some shoddy defensive lapses that resulted in goals that were beyond his control.
After the game, Ryan Weatherby of the Twisters said, “The game was tied 3-3 after two periods and we got a rather lucky goal and then the skies seemed to open up for us. This was a good paced game that was a lot of fun to play. There weren’t any penalties called, no cheap stuff and it was well-played at both ends. Hats off to the refs Josh Bagley and Matt Clark for a well officiated game too.”
Ratz goalie Nick Ganong summed up the team’s take on the game by saying, “The Ratz played well in front of me and I was happy to be able to play for them. I’d have to say I was a lot more relaxed playing with them than I was playing against them. The Ratz have a potent attack and carried a lot of the play but the Twisters played a good, smart game tonight. Andrew Moffitt and Greg Justason rang a couple off the post for us that may have changed the game. Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger and sometimes you’re the ball.”
