Best Shotblock/Save - Matthew C., stretching out the paddle to deny Tommy a rebound goal. Looked to be out of the play and then made an incredible paddle swipe to keep the score close.
Best Goal - Jordan, getting sent in all alone on James and firing it topshelf with a backhander. After Maciej sent a rinkwide pass to the streakin' Italian, Jordan handled it past Peter and roofed it on James, who had no chance.
Best Goalkeeper - Matthew C., edging out James. Made the clutch save when it had to be done, making up for any softies he may have let in.

Best Pass - Maciej, no look pass to a wide open Taylor, who fired it on net.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Jordan, twice, after being set up at the point. Twice he fired a one-timer, twice he fired it way too high.
