Breast Cancer Awarness weekend VS the Tornado
Last Thursday and Friday we hosted the Texas Tornado for our Breast Cancer Awareness weekend in Corpus Christi. Unfortunately the weekend could have resulted better with such a special occasion and such valuable points at stake in our playoff hunt.
Thursday night we fell 6-3 to the Tornado. From the very beginning of the game the entire atmosphere of the game was slow, neither team had much to show for at all but, after a 7 hour road trip from Dallas, we should have gained the upper hand immediately but we failed to do so and Texas took advantage.
Friday night was much of the same until the third period where we came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game 3-3 at the end of regulation. However, 12 seconds in to overtime. Off a seemingly harmless play one lone Tornado player came behind Copley and scored on a wrap around attempt. However we did pick up a much needed point for making it into overtime.
After the game on Friday we had our Jersey auction for our "Pink in the Rink" custom jerseys to help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. With all the money raised put together we came up with $24,250 all going towards the American Cancer Society!
We are now 9 points behind Wichita Falls with 11 games remaining going into the Top Prospects Tournament. Good Luck to Beau Walker and Michael Benedict who were selected from our team to attend!

Swept again vs Topeka
As another valuable weekend in our playoff hunt slips through our fingers we are now 8 points behind Wichita Falls with only 15 games remaining in the season. It was a disappointing weekend seeing how much better we played against Topeka in the first two games compared to our last meeting with them at home, yet still losing within the last moments of the 3rd period.
Thursday night we lost 5-3 after losing a two goal lead going into the 3rd period. I was a healthy scratch that night but, the team played very well in the first two periods and then let Topeka come back in the third.
Friday night was the complete opposite; we started poorly but came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie in the third. Unfortunately the Roadrunners came back with a fourth late in the period and the officiating did not go our way when our tying goal was called back in the last seconds of the game. We lost 5-3 again.
Saturday night was the huge disappointment of the weekend, after playing so well the first two games we lost 6-0. I did fight Kyle Sharkey in this game after Topeka scored their third goal late in the second period. The video of the fight and highlights from Friday night have been posted below.
This Thursday and Friday we have our Breast Cancer Awareness games against The Texas Tornado.
