Schedule
Heads Up!! Our 2pm game has been moved up to 1pm!
Here are some highlights from the tournament.
Day 1
This year, I am going to make the trip with Dave Harris, our goalie. Heavy snow at home but our drive was smooth as the roads were dry all the way...
On the way we received some unfortunate news that Louie will not be able to join us this year as he had a death in the family. Our hearts and prayers go out to Louie and his family.
Game 1 - Friday 6:00 p.m.
The team came out of the gates trying to get to know each others styles of play… After a few shifts the guys started to get into a groove and ended up pulling out a 3-1 victory.
Team Dinner
Post game, the team headed over to Kelsey’s for some of Petawawa’s finest dining experiences. The walk home from the restaurant was short but the snow had definitely made its way to town! The team spent far too long drinking and attempting to solve all the world’s problems at the hotel. 2 am came up quick and it was time to get some rest.
Day 2
Day 2 started off with an early breakfast and then straight to the arena for Game 2 scheduled for 8am. The snow around the lake was heavy with the roads now fully covered.
Game 2 - Saturday 8:00 a.m.
Tough fought game between arguably the top two teams where the bounces definitely were not in the Lost Bandits favour resulting in a 4-2 loss. Time to regroup and come out flying for the next game.
Trophy Presentations
After Game 2, Donny made a series of trophy presentations including the heavily coveted “2nd Best Player Award”!!
Game 3 - Saturday 1:00 p.m.
Well - a heck of a bounce-back game by the Bandits! With the opportunity to take on their local rivals the Chiefs, the team stepped up to the challenge and handed the Chiefs a 7-2 spanking - something that “the Rev” took some heat for! This gives the Bandits a whole year of bragging rights!
Dinner
An executive decision was made to head to the local Boston Pizza, have a few cocktails, and watch the hockey game…. But then a live band showed up - so back to the hotel to watch the hockey.
Day 3
Travel Day - Major Storm
Looks like a tough travel day either snow and freezing rain is on the schedule.
Made it! Thanks to Dave and his truck we managed to make our way thru the snow safely…
