Squirrels 6, Highlanders 2

Posted on by

The Squirrels won their first game of the season Sunday, beating their old foe the Highlanders, 6-2. Though the score was lopsided, the Highlanders spent a significant amount of time in the Squirrels’ zone, but the Squirrels defense and goaltending shut them down.

Mark Tessar scored several goals, including what can only be described as the best looking goal in Screaming Squirrels history. Tessar netted his first goal on a slap shot from the right circle, one on a breakaway, one during a scrum in the crease, and one more that even had the refs in awe. On that one, he came in from the left side on a mini-brekaway, was tripped to the ice, went sliding through the crease and still managed to knock the puck past the goalie. The refs confirmed that it would have been a penalty shot if it didn’t go in.

The Highlanders found themselves very frustrated during this game, having lost to an 0-2 team that was moved up from Bronze 2.

Blades of Steel 5, Squirrels 2

Posted on by

In their first game in the Bronze 1 division in more than a year, the Screaming Squirrels faced a fresh-faced old foe, Blades of Steel, who not only had many new players but also had 17 skaters on the bench.

The Squirrels hung with them, though, at least for two periods, leading 2-1 when BoS scored with less than a second remaining in the second period. Not too long into the third, the Squirrels than gave BoS another gift, going down 3-2, which proved to be the Squirrels’ undoing.

The Squirrels scored twice in the second period, once off of a turnover and a deflected shot by Rob Myers and Ben Sumner, and again on Brent Machado’s breakaway, where he went five-hole on Adam Hart.

Squirrels Championship T-Shirts and Pucks

Posted on by

IMG_9986

These days, teams that win championships in the Gardens Ice House adult hockey league receive T-shirts. The last three the Screaming Squirrels got are almost exactly the same, other than the colors. We got green in the summer of 2014, red for winter 2013-14, and beige for 2012-13. The yellow one was for roller in 2011 and has the year on it. The best one we got was for our 2005 roller championship, which has Screaming Squirrels on it.

We also got a couple of championship pucks. One was for our 2005-6 championship, and the other was for our 2009-10 championship, below (I lost my other one in the condo fire).

We once got a trophy, for our 2004 ice championship, but that was with Hockey North America. We didn’t get anything for our 2003 co-championship.
