Week 5

Natsco Mechanical Avalanche 12 - Fenwick Red Wings 8

The Natsco Mechanical Avalanche have appeared to have awoken from their October hibernation knocking off defending champ Fenwick Red Wings 12-8 to notch their second victory in as many weeks while handing the Wings their second loss in a row.  Mr. X accounted for 5 goals direct from centre ice, or more commonly known around the league as Hooverville.  Even a between-period call by the reeling Red Wings to the Kitchener Cherry Festival for advice backfired as they stuck with their bizarre game plan of sending both D in deep behind the Avalanche net.  Wing centre Pat Hillman was Halloween player of the game, giving away numerous goodies to appreciative Natsco forwards.  Red Wing underachieving duo Lally and Wally remained consistent with a combined -24 rating.

Baby G’s Pizza Islanders 6 – Team Outfitters Punishers 3

Islander rookie Mike Anning provided the scoring punch with 3 goals as well as bouncing 2 more off Ben Thornton’s helmet while doubling the Team Outfitters Punishers 6-3.  After the game when Anning was asked if he and Thornton practiced the unorthodox ricochet shot he replied “Yeah, all the time….Benny was wearing a helmet???”  The Outfitters find themselves in a two game skid while the Islanders remain a team to watch.

Stokes Bay Bruins 8 – Al’s Gas and Variety Sharks 1

In what appears to be a Stokes Bay trend this year, the Bruin bullies crushed the Al’s Gas and Variety Sharks 8-1 to remain undefeated bringing their record to 5-0.  Strong goal tending behind Pez Brown as well as a commitment to less whining and more old time hockey seem to be just the right combination.  Travis Parsons was the only scorer for the Sharks against his old team mates while 6 different numbers scored for Stokes.  As the Bruins head into next weeks pivotal match up with a strong Islander squad, Stokes’ team deadbeat and lead hatchet man Skinnbo Slice has guaranteed a victory while putting a bounty on the head of Islander Captain Bumchin Murphy.

Bluewater Power Leafs 6 – Barb Bonnema Penguins 5

Those pesky Penguins continue to trudge along in the quest for their first win of the season.  They were outlasted by the Bluewater Power Leafs 6-5 in a close affair that saw Bonnema powerhouse Shawn Urban strike with two goals while Doc Hislop responded with 3 of his own for the Leafs.  Just to confirm that nobody slipped a rohypnol in your morning coffee:

Leafs Win, Urban Scores 2.
