Flyer score twice in the opening frame and if not for Habs backstop it should have been more. Habs make it 2-1 midway through the 2nd period but Flyers get their 2 goal lead back before the 2nd period buzzer sounds. Both goalies very sharp in this tilt up to this point.

Boys a friendly reminder to be very aware of how you conduct yourself on the ice, especially if you are a big guy. Driving to the net to try and score and wiping out our goalie is not what our Friday night league is about. Most likely and hopefully it is unintentional it still doesn’t make it right Now you cause the defenseman to do what he needs to do to protect his goalie and try and keep you out of the crease, this all leads to a defenceless goalie getting injured. The Exec are reviewing this specific action and will let the league know that it will be dealt with harshly regardless if you call it a ‘hockey play’ or not.
Also a reminder our 50/50 Holiday Fundraiser tickets are printed and this week Mark Plewes will be around selling them. 1 ticket for $5 or 5 tickets for $20. If anyone also can donate any prizes for more winners please bring them to Mark Plewes who plays for the Flyers. Members, family and friends can all purchase these tickets. Half the proceeds will go to the winner and half will go to our league budget. Next season is our 30th and we are planning on getting new sweaters and socks. Early in the new year we will be canvassing all members for their recommendations on teams for next season before we make our final decision. Give it some thought and let any of the Exec know.
OK so this weeks games, Friday, November 13 are as follows; 9:15 Oilers vs Canadians and 10:30 our top 2 teams will battle it out as the Flyers face off against the Islanders, should be a doozy. Bruins get the week off.
See you all on the ice!
