Ratz Record First Win, Announce Re-Signing

Bonny River, NB - It took a little while for the Joe Steven's blueprint for success to finally reap some rewards, but the Bonny River Ratz finally got a W Monday night in St. Andrews. The short benched Ratz downed the NBCC St. Andrews Whalers 6-4. Ratz Cap Player of the Game goalie Warren Giesbrecht was stellar in net as he stopped key breakaways as the Ratz seemed to be on the ropes a bit late in the game.
Jim Buchanan and Joe Stevens each had a pair for the Ratz who also got singles from Rick McFarlane and Jack MacNeil. Scott Giberson, Satchel Sawyer, Jerome Leblanc and Jeff Merrill replied for the Whalers.
Before the game, VP of Player Development Mark Taylor announced the re-signing of rugged defensean Corey Spear. Spear is exected to be back in the Ratz lineup for Tuesday's tilt versus the Kingfishers.
Team Captain Joe Stevens praised the new signing, saying, "This seems to be the final piece to this very difficult puzzle. I think it sends a message to the boys that virtually nobody's job is safe. Spear will add some toughness and give us some much needed puck movement ability."
