Honkey Kong 5, Squirrels 2

Way back at the beginning of the season – and every game they had played in the past three years – the Screaming Squirrels beat Honkey Kong without a problem. The times have changed since April 25. In the final game of the regular ice season Tuesday, Honkey Kong won again, 5-2.

Don Marks got the scoring started for the Squirrels to tie the game at 1 in the first period. Marks then assisted on Ben Sumner’s goal in the second period as the Squirrels took the lead. Honkey Kong answered with four straight as the Squirrels began to get tired with only two subs on the bench. Despite that, the Squirrels ended up with a 26-24 shot advantage.

One player on Honkey Kong – Gary Konig, factored into all of their offense, with three goals and two assists. Last week, when he didn’t play, Honkey Kong edged the Squirrels 2-1, while the Squirrels played with only one sub for half of the game.

Marks, Sumner, Juan Canchasto, Phil Van der Vossen, Matt Borlik, Chris Long, Chi Pham and Drew Thiemann played for the Squirrels.

The playoff qualifier is Wednesday at 9:45 p.m.
