Wednesday Nights Game for the Bronze League had
Mad Dogs vs. Finish Line Collision

Finish Line Finished First!
Not exactly starting the game on the right skate, players from each team went down immediately after the first whistle (more like starting it on no skates). Before long David Sawicki scored short handed to give the Mad Dogs there first goal. Then, with some help from the goalie Finish Line player Troy Palmer (assist: James Olson) scored one for his team. Finish line was just beginning, though, as Ray Reddington scored unassisted to give his team the lead. The Mad Dogs made a nice break away off a corner face off after the puck was knocked free to coast, but sadly lost it soon after. The Mad Dogs were able to make up for it moments later with a great goal by David Sawicki (assist: John Gill) to tie the game 2-2. To end the period, Finish Line stole the lead thanks to Chris Mukoda (assist: Troy Palmer). The second period started with Finish Line still lashing to keep ahead and Mukoda (assist: Cory Perdue) scored 4-2. The rest of the period was a blur of battles for the puck back and forth across the ice. Mad Dog goalie Sharon Bark made a sweet save followed ironically by Garth Baldridge scoring unassisted for Finish Line. In the 3rd period, Finish Line Baldridge (assist: Mukoda) scored again. David Lonchar of Finish Line squad amusingly lost his edge in the excitement of being passed the puck. He recovered, but not before Mad Dogs Sawicki (assist: Zak Kimball and Troy Vokes) laid another in the net. Moments later Sawicki did it again, this time unassisted as the Mad Dogs made a come back. With the score now 6-4, Finish Line started to scramble, but only for a few minutes and Doug Backus (assist: Mike Petit De Mange) slid one in.
