Rebels and Ice Dogs Heat up the Arena in Tara!!
The Desboro Tire Novice LL team travelled to Tara in their second game of the playoffs and faced Arran Elderslie White. It may have been frigidly cold outside but these two teams heated things up inside!! Goaltending was stellar at both ends of the ice.
Both teams had their chances and demonstrated fantastic heads up plays. The Rebels skated hard but unfortunately at 1:42 of the third the Ice Dogs were able to sneak one past goalie Robert LaFond. Players line up at center for the face-off, LaFond is watching the coach, he gets the call and heads to the bench. The net is empty and six Rebel attackers are on the ice. Playoff action at its best and excitement right to the final buzzer, but the buzzer sounds and the Rebels fall 1-0 to the Ice Dogs.
The Rebels continue their playoff games next weekend, Saturday morning in Desboro and Sunday afternoon in Wiarton.
