Next Game... Opponent Change...

Next game is February 8th, @ 8:30 p.m. vs. Fighting Coho - Main Ice ( Silvertips Ice ) Everett
We were playing the All Blacks, but it was changed last week. GO MONKEYS!!

5-4 win!!

We have sole possesion of 4th place. It was 3rd until a team got moved up into our division & automatically got the 1st place position. But that's another story. It was a nice 5-4 win against the Squids. A team we've played well this session. We also had a nice big crowd for our 7:30 p.m. start time. It was nice to have a nice roar from the crowd when the goals were scored. Thanks to all that attended!! GO MONKEYS!!

Next Game!!

Vs. Squids, Sunday, January 25th @ 7:30 p.m. Everett Comm.

Win!!

The Monkeys posted another win last night. After starting 0-4 we have improved our record to 5-5-0-2 . 5-1-0-2 in our last 8 games.
We started out fast, built up our a three goal lead at 3-0 before letting them get back into it. But we buckled down in the remaining minutes to hold on to a 4-3 win. On a personal note, my four game point streak ended. GO MONKEYS!!

Great Scrimmage

Had a fun scrimmage last night. Special thanks to all that made it. Had some Monkeys, Crush, Icelagers & a few more that I didn't know, but it made it a fun entertaining night. Didn't really keep score, but I think we lost by one. I do know that Darryl & I had a great two on one. He fed me a pass back on the tail end of a give & go... & I put a nice shot on net with a one timer... but... damn goalie stacked his pads sliding to the left & just got my shot. It was a amazing save, I thought goal all the way. Luckily it was just practice, but it was nice to get to work on things that I need to improve on. GO MONKEYS!!

Scrimmage Tonight!!

The Monkeys are teaming up with other players from other teams... for a friendly night of scrimmaging... or practice. Tonight at either 7 or 7:30 p.m. in Everett on the main ice. Where the Tips play. So it'll be a night of FUN & HOCKEY!! GO MONKEYS!!

Next Game...

Vs. Blu Bombers, Sunday, January 18th @ 9 p.m. Everett Comm.

Another Tie... 1 Point

Last night, we had the chance to get to .500 & put us within a few points of first place. Instead we managed a tie & 1 point toward first place. The Red Raiders scored first & shortly after I managed to put a rebound from Ian past the goalie to tie it up. The Raiders made it 2-1 in the second & then in the 3rd on a power play we tied it up. After a cross ice pass from Bill, I passed it over to Brian for a one timer. His shot had the goalie sprawling for the save & sat there between the goalies skate & post on the goal line. Ian tapped it in for a easy game tying score. We went to overtime & no one got ahead, lot of chances though. Ian & I came in with the same amount of points 4 goals & 6 assists for 10 points & left that game still tied with a goal & assist in the game. Its fun to have someone to compete with like that, pushes each other. GO MONKEYS!!

On the Tips Ice!!

Feb 8th!! We play a game on the Silvertips ice. The main rink of the Comcast Events Center of Everett!! 8:30 p.m. vs. All Blacks!! Can't you tell I'm just a little bit excited.

Kissing your... nah it was a OT WIN!!

Almost, but we found a way to pull this one out. We played the Orange Crush late last night & it took a extra period to find a winner. A see-saw battle that saw them score first & us tying them up, taking the lead to have them tie it up... back & forth, up & down. Then in OT, Brie took the puck pretty much coast to coast & roofed it for the game winner. Bobblehead Bill scored his first ever GSHL goal. A nice point shot, took him a while to get it off of his stick ( for some reason he needs the whole bench to yell "SHOOT!!" before he takes a shot ). Captain Purple had the first goal of the night for us & I ended with a goal & three assists for FOUR points. Finally, since it has felt like I just haven't been doing much this session. Hopefully thats my break out game. Well I better get back to work. Damn late game had me waking up late this morning. GO MONKEYS!!

Practice & next game...

The team had a practice on Dec. 30th @ the Comcast Ice Rink. It was a fun, but tiring practice as most of hadn't skated for a couple of weeks & with the holidays & all of the food, it caught up to us really fast. Well, I can at least speak for myself, you'd have to get the other peoples excuses. We did drills for the first 30 mins of practice & then had the other 30 for scrimmage. We had a few people from other teams there to fill out the practice to make it cost less for us, but they also needed the work. We do start play again Monday night, so any skating was good. Our next game will be Monday, January 5th. @ Kingsgate, 10:55 p.m. vs. the Crush. GO MONKEYS!!
