Share Devils Getting Their Due
2004-01-23
The T.J. Devils, arguably have gone through the toughest part of their schedule these past two weeks. Last week defeating the first place Secunda Mariners, and this week taking on the second place Sandtrap Chiefs. On 3 goals by Tony Peers and with Brad MacDonald, Troy Ritcey chipping in with 4 helpers each the Devils spanked the Chiefs 8 to 0. Call up goaltender Dave Fallows earned the shutout. Tuesday's nightcap had Scotiabank thump Your Fathers Moustache 9 to 4. Rodney MacIntosh led Scotiabank with a hattrick and an assist. Danny Brewer and Mike MacIssac each had a pair of goals in the victory and Graham Sponagle contributed a goal and 2 assists for Your Fathers Moustache.
Thursday night's games started out with the Sandtrap Chiefs avenging Tuesday's thumping by whipping Scotiabank 9 to 5. Roddy MacCormick's 4 goals and an assist led the Chiefs to the victory. Scotiabank's Todd Miles did all he could potting 3 goals and a couple of helpers in the loss. The middle frame saw the Dartmouth Alpines move into 3rd place overall with an impressive 9 to 4 win over the Secunda Mariners. Alpines' Jay Washington had the hot hand scoring 4 goals including the winner. Keifer House of the Mariners continued his reign of the scoring race, adding 3 goals and an assist to his totals. The earlier victory by the Chiefs and a loss by the Mariners moved Sandtrap one up on Secunda for first overall. In the late game, the Fairview Aces snapped out of their slump with a 7 to 3 blitzing of the Big Leagues' Rangers. The game was their first meeting since the December 4th dust up, and not one penalty called. Aces' John Doward, Fred MacGillvary and Blake Miller each had 2 goals in the win.
