Blacks Harbour, NB - The Bonny River Ratz fell behind 2-0 early to the NBCC Whalers but managed to prevail 11-6 in Sunday night's FIHL action. The Ratz instituted a new policy of picking the Ratz Cap Player of the Game Award that was in keeping with the same one the New York Rangers use in their locker room. The player who won it in the last game must name the player for the next game and so on. Warren Giesbrecht, the Ratz star goalie and a player who has won the award many times named Mark Taylor as the winner for Sunday night's game for his physical play and two way performance. This all being despite Jim O'Halloran's four goal performance and Gregg Buchanan's hat trick in the same game. Carl Chambers, Jimmy Buchanan, Greg Justason, and Keith Hoyt rounded out the Ratz scoring. A last minute recruit and Ratz nemesis Matty Walsh scored 4 for the Whalers while Mike James and Dominick Holland added singles.
After the game, Jim O'Halloran as was asked about his failure to grab the Ratz Cap Player of the Game Award. O'Halloran noted, "Taylor has done more for this team than I have so who am I to question it? He is a physical force out there who really opens up the ice for his linemates. Do you seriously think I'd gotten 4 goals on another line? No brainer boys."
