Ratz Topple Timberwolves, NBCC St. Andrews down XXX
Blacks Harbour, NB – The Bonny River Ratz grabbed sole possession of third place in the Fundy Industrial Hockey League Tuesday night by beating the Blacks Harbour Timberwolves 4-2. The hotly contested game was clean and fast with many good scoring chances at both ends. Mark Taylor, Eric Lee, Joe Stevens and Carl Chambers potted singles for the Ratz while Alex Matheson and Murray Tucker replied for the Timberwolves.
Ratz team captain Joe Stevens was pleased with his club’s performance and remarked that the goaltending was superb at both ends. Stevens said, “Andrew Dugas made some brilliant saves to keep them in it and I’m certainly not taking anything away from our tender Warren Giesbrecht who was also very sharp.”
Timberwolves captain Daniel Levesque said his team performed well and had some problems solving Giesbrecht. He noted, “Their goalie made some key saves as did our goalie. Hey, when you have a 4-2 game in this league, it has to be a good game no matter what. We just would have preferred to be on the winning side but that’s hockey.”
The big surprise had to be the game between the NBCC St. Andrews Campus and the St. George XXX. The expansion NBCC squad has had some growing pains and has been on the bad end of some lopsided losses. Yet they managed to grab a 6-5 lead and despite late game penalty trouble, managed to keep the score in tact. The XXX are still in second place and squandered an opportunity to leap frog past the idle Fundy Kingfishers for top spot.
The also idle Blackland Twisters dropped back to fourth place with the Ratz win. They are followed by the Timberwolves and NBCC St. Andrews and Lepreau make up sixth and seventh place respectively.
