Games update

Members from HMCS Calgary and the PROHL share an evening of hockey and friendship

 

 

 

March 26th 2006

Last night in the PROHL it was a special night with the crew of HMCS Calgary. Leading off with a ceremonial puck drop with the
Captain of HMCS Calgary. Unfortunately the PROHL played the roll of poor host and defeated the Navy boys 10-5. It was a very fast paced game with few whistles and plenty of action.
The pro-Calgary crowd did what they could to encourage their team but in the end the host team made of players from La Gondola and the Plaqhawks were just too much.
In the second game, HMCS Calgary players stayed on the ice and took revenge against a combined Entire Automotive/Rupert Wood n Steel team downing the hosts 8-6. in another fast paced game.
In the end all players stated how much they enjoyed the games and both look forward to meeting again in the future. Perhaps for the benefit of a local charity.

March 23rd 2006

Entire Automotive downed the Plaqhawks 13-7.

March 19th 2006

Sunday night in the PROHL La Gondola continued there winning ways against the Plaqhawks, hanging on to win 11-9.
In the second game Rupert Wood n Steel was up against Entire Automotive. The final score was not avail at this time.

Kitimat Tournament Results

The Prince Rupert Puccaneers travelled to Kitimat over the weekend for the Kitimat Oldtimers Hockey Tournament.

    On Friday night they got off to a great start downing Kitimat 'Ol Keg 6-4. The Pucs were leading 2-1 when 'Ol Keg tied it up at 2. Half
way through the 1st period. It did not stay tied long as Rupert took the puck from the ensuing face-off and scored retaking the lead for
good. Scoring was spread out among the team.
    Saturday's game verses Telkwa Roofing from Smithers was a different story. Rupert came out flat and were down 4-0 at the
intermission. The Pucs tried to make adjustments during the break but were unable to mount a comeback. Final score 9-2.
    In the Pucs final game they played the Orcas (Kitimat). This game truly tested the Puccaneers ability to gel as a unit. The early going was back and forth with both goalies coming up with big saves to keep things scoreless. Then at the 8 minute mark the Puc's Rob McDonald broke free up the middle with a perfect pass from linemate Garin Gardiner and slid his shot under a sprawling Orca goalie. The lead was short lived. The Orcas were able to tie it up 5 minutes later after picking up the puck, from an earlier toe save by Puc's goalie Tom Hogman and depositing it into a wide open net.  The first period ended, 1-1.
    The second period opened with some sloppy play by both teams. Rupert was first to take advantage as defensemen Dave"Ralph" Dyball carried the puck down the left side and snapped a bullet shot low to the glove side on the Orca goalie. But again the lead was short lived and the Orcas were able to tie. At the midpoint of the period Rupert had the pressure on and a quick cross-ice pass was one timed by Darren Bell, putting Rupert up 3-2.
    At this point in the game the Orcas play took on a more determined edge. They were rewarded with yet another tying goal and continued to keep the pressure on and with 8 minutes to go took their first lead in the game 4-3.
    Now it was the Puccanneers turn to play from behind and they appeared to up for the task. After peppering the Orcas goalie with shots and hemming them in for long stretches, the Puc's got a tying goal of their own setting the game up for a frenzied finish.
    With the score now tied 4-4 and less than 3 minutes to go it looked like that was who it was going to end. Then the inevitable happened. Rupert defensemen  Dave Dyball got called for body-checking after an Orca ran into him, lost his balance a slid heavily into the boards. The Orcas were now like a team of sharks smelling blood in the water. They could almost taste a winning goal coming up. But now it was their turn to take a penalty, this one for goalie interference. With teams playing 4 on 4 Rupert got the puck down into the Orcas end and set up a perfect one-timer to take the lead 5-4 with only 1 minute to go. The dramatic finish was on.
    The Orcas pulled their goalie for the extra attacker and were able to gain the Puc's zone and with 5 seconds left got a clear shot on goal only to have Hogman do the splits kicking away the puck.
    That win gave the Puccaneers 3rd place in the "B" Division.

Games update

 In the first games of the PROHL last night Rupert Wood n Steel came up on the short end of a 9-8 score against La Gondola.
   
    The second game had A&G Autobody against the PlaqHawks. The under staffed PlaqHawks prevailed having only one spare.  The crisp passing PlaqHawks took a early lead in the first period which they never relinquished. PlaqHawk goaltender Mike Fox's third period pad stacked save on A&G's top line ensured the 13 to 3 victory.

New Schedule now available online

October 15th 2005

This is the most current league schedule. It begins on Oct 16th.

 
    Please destroy any older versions to avoid confusion.
 
    In Thursday nights action, A&G Autobody took on the Plaqhawks. The game was a fast paced affair with lots of crisp passing and smooth skating on both sides.
    In a slight twist any penalties were awarded as penalty-shots instead of the usual 3 minutes in the box. A&G took advantage of this and were able to keep pace with the high flying Plaqhawks. With less than a minute left in the game, the Plaqhawks were awarded a penalty-shot. Former "KINGS" netminder Jerry Kurka robbed
Butch "DUH-O" Duffy to keep the affair tied.
    From the ensuing face-off, A&G took the puck down and scored to win the game with only 4 seconds left.
 
    Afterwards, both teams decided that the idea of penalty-shots in stead of actual penalties was not a good idea. Both teams stated the game was a lot of fun to play.
 
    That's what old-timers is all about. Why not give it a try.
    If your interested, 35 years old or more and have alittle experience, call Tom @ 624-9778
