It’s been several years since the Squirrels played Honkey Kong (a team that originated in the roller league), as Honkey Kong has consistently been located in a division up from the Squirrels. But on Thursday, that didn’t matter as the short-benched Squirrels finagled a 5-3 victory.
Up 2-1 in the third, Mark Tessar scored somehow roofed a shot in the corner of the crease with no angle. In the third, Honkey Kong scored a controversial goal that hit the right post and ended up beneath Nabil Allaoua’s pads. The ref said it was in, and the score was suddenly 3-2 with plenty of time remaining. But with less than five minutes remaining, Rob Myers converted a rebound after a breakaway, then put the game out of reach with an empty-netter.
Three of the Squirrels hurried over to their roller game, which was already in progress, to play again.
