Ratz Take Pounding from Timberwolves

Rick McFarlane, Corey Spear and Greg Justason share a laugh

Blacks Harbour, NB - The Blacks Harbour Timberwolves hammered the Bonny River Ratz 8-2 in Tuesday FIHL action. John Oliver and Randy Hanley each potted a hat trick, and Dan Levesque and Murray Tucker added singles for the Wolves. Rick McFarlane and Jack MacNeil replied for the Ratz.

The loss was one of many this year so far for the Ratz but the mood afterward was not one of doom and gloom. The same cliches - "lots of hockey left to play, we need to play better in our end, need to help out Warren," and others were all used. As you can see by the picture, it was not the end of the world. We didn't lose everything we owned, just a hockey game. A game. The tunes came on, the beer cracked and everybody laughs. That's what this league should be about. No need to throw sticks or accusations at each other. Have fun and have a smile.

There will be hockey again.
