Knights Hockey Review

Hello out there. I am going to attempt to use the space to provid updates of the Knights hockey team. The Knights play hockey in D2 of the AHA hockey in the twin cities of Minnesota. D2 is not to be confused with the college level of D2 and if you saw us play you'd have no problem there. We are half way through our season. Our record stands at 3-6-1, 7th place out of ten and a full nine points out of the last playoff spot. That may sound dismal, but we are on pace for a better season than we've had in like the last 4 or 5 years. Truth be told, we have a lot of talent for the level we are in, but we always underachieve. We often don't try hard. We have a fondness for repeated mistakes. We often have injured guys and are good for about two suspensions a year. A lot of our problems result from our leadership. But we have a great locker room and I love skating with this team. A lot of guys on the team have been here for years and we've seen plenty of marriages and growing families. We also had some great new people on the team and they fit in well. I will try to post updates after each game and will begin our most recent game. It was this past Sunday and we were thumped 5-0 by the first place Gold Rush. Although the game got away from us in the third we were close for most of the game. We had many decent scoring chances but just did not finish. (Sometimes common for the Knights.) I had a very Skoula like night on D. I was on the ice for three of their goals and in the box (very weak call) for one of them. I had a few turnovers and cement skate plays, other than that I was ok. Oh well, we get to play them again. More later.
