Ratz Captain Joe StevensThe Bonny River Ratz got solid goaltending from Warren Giesbrecht as they downed the Lepreau Pirates 9-1 in Tuesday night Fundy Industrial Hockey League action. Giesbrecht had a shutout going until the midway point of the third period when Matt Gibbons busted the bubble.
The Ratz got a pair of goals from the trio of Andrew Moffitt, Jim Buchanan, and Joe Stevens and singles from Greg Justason, Eric Lee and Jack MacNeil. Ratz captain Joe Stevens noted before the game that the team had amassed the fewest goals in the league thus far and needed to find the back of the net. “I was impressed with the effort tonight. This amount of goals is usually about three game’s worth of scoring so maybe finally we will get going. I didn't think Penalty Man Lomax could possibly shut down Taylor but he did. Taylor can always contribute with helpers and fierce forechecking,” said Stevens after the game.
In other FIHL action, the St. George XXX knocked off the Blacks Harbour Timberwolves 5-2 to keep some breathing room between them and the surging Ratz. The Fundy Kingfishers still hold a slim lead with 20 points while the Blackland Twisters and the Timberwolves are close behind with 18 apiece. The XXX have managed 14 points while the Ratz have 11. The Lepreau Pirates with 6 points and the NBCC St. Andrews Whalers with 2 round out the standings.
