Game day,
Game 2: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at 7:30pm versus the Renegades.
The
Lightning had had a power outage in their last game, but a flicker of hope was
in the room
as we were
playing on Blue A - the Canucks ice. As game time approached, we
watched the
door of
the dressing room as the sound of the Zamboni faded ... where were
all our players
from last
week? Well, Dickie hurt her hip, Mar was on a boat cruise, Tania and
Irena had
already
left us, Heidi's back is still sore, and on and on. Our army of seven
marched onto
the ice for
the warmup. We skated and skated and skated and scored and scored and
scored.
The final
score was a 3-0 victory. Finally, our Sieve goaltender (who claims
to be shooting
an 84 on
the golf course these days) actually earned her pay. Good work Liz, oh I
mean Sue.
Now, just
as we got back in shape :), we have a two week layoff. The first contest
of the year –
Guess how
many players will show up for our next game? Watch for our next news
cast about
our upcoming game on Wednesday, September 24, 2003 at 7:15pm against the Katz and Dogz.
