LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey 2010 – Recap
Eagle River, Wisconsin (February 12th-14th 2010) – Team Jack Daniel’s
Game 1 vs Dirty Beavers - Team JD came out unorchestrated and confused. Not accustom to playing pond hockey we were consistently in the wrong places at the wrong times. Due to a higher skill level we managed to keep the game close and ended up winning. WIN 16-12
Game 2 vs Mandy Badhattens – Again Team JD played a soft first half, but picked it up in the second to win by a final of 11-6. WIN
Game 3 vs Chicago Magic – A very emotional and hard fought game vs the Magic proved difficult for team JD. LOSS
After 3 games and a record of 2-1 team JD found themselves struggling for a playoff spot. With a +3 goal differential team JD found their way into the playoffs beating out another team with a +2 goal diff. So we made the 8th and final spot by one goal.
Game 4 – #1 seeded Goose Island vs #8 seed Team Jack Daniel’s – 1st round of the playoffs: The game was a rush from start to finish. With 3 min left the score was 7-7 and a goal with 2 min left gave Goose Island an 8-7 lead. JD was never able to tie it up and lost in the first round
In the finals, the Chicago Magic played Goose Island with Goose Island winning by one goal. It was a very close race and team JD will come back next year to claim the gold.
