Timberwolves Roll Over River Ratz
Blacks Harbour, NB – Andrew Dugas has had his best against his old mates the Bonny River Ratz and Sunday night was no exception. His Blacks Harbour Timberwolves rolled over the Bonny River Ratz 10-5 in Fundy Industrial Hockley League action on Sunday night. The depleted Ratz made a valiant effort with what they had but the sheer numbers was more than the River Rodents could stand. The one rarity is that there were no penalties in the game. Referees Gordie Anderson and Matt McMullin decided early on that as long as everybody wanted to stick to hockey, they would allow some contact as long as it was not harming anybody and never prevented a scoring opportunity. This formula seemed to work as neither team had any complaints.
Randy Hanley potted a hat trick while Robert “Rocket” Doiron and Jeff Dick netted a pair, and Shane Lee, Brandon Malloy and Adam Clark added singles to round out the Timberwolves attack. Dugas made several key saves and avoided a collapse as the Ratz swarmed the net on many occasions.
The Ratz got a hat trick of their own from the team leader in goals and points Jim Buchanan whole Eric Lee and Kevin Murray added solo markers. Ratz team captain Joe Stevens, while distraught, said, “I am really proud of the boys tonight in the way they never quit and kept hustling. Kevin Murray played an outstanding game on forward. He is making tough for us to send him back on defence.”
Meanwhile Timberwolves captain Dan Levesque was pleased with his team’s performance. He noted, “We seem to have the answer to the Ratz this year. They have beaten the top clubs and yet we have been able to handle them. This definitely gives us a boost as a team. The one thing that does stick out for me is that we have yet to see them with a full squad. When you’re playing in a league like this, no matter what, people have other commitments and it’s to be expected. Regardless, I thought our goalie Andrew Dugas played very well and I’m pleased with our guys.”
