It's been a rough couple of weeks for the flying vans. We needed a big effort to right the ship and gain some confidence back heading toward the playoffs. On tap is the Mariners, who cleaned our clock last time. Thankfully this time we were able to return the favor. Big game for the boys with some beautiful play in the first two periods resulting in us taking a 9-2 lead into the 3rd. We played a little too loose in the 3rd which resulted in Mariners scoring 4 goals to our 1 goal. Game ends 10-6.
Hell of a game by the team. We played like we did mid-season. Chet went on a tear with 8 pts (4g, 4a), Easton had 4 (2g, 2a), and sub Al "long hair" generated our first 2 goals of the season from a sub (hard to believe it took that long). 8g night for line one after the team was shutout 4-0 last week. Thanks to Al and Alex for subbing. Alex played great but we hung him out to dry in the 3rd (sorry Alex). Alex was in because Marc went and decided to have a baby right before the playoffs. Marc, we have to talk about planning around the FHL season (jk). Congrats Frenchie on the new boy and future FHLer.
Aerostars get their final bye of the season....naturally after a win. We lock up with Superchiefs in 2 weeks.
They scored a lot more than we did. Not good for us. Try again next week.

We threw everything at the Fiesta, but couldn't score. Probably had 4 or 5 open nets missed, but we'll save those for the playoffs! Next week is our back-to-back night of games to get our legs in playoff shape! Thanks to Giuseppe for subbing!

Hard fought game for the SuperChiefs but we came up short. Marauders had the lead throughout but we continued to battle until the end. Much needed rest next week and back at it in March. Thank you to Nick and Easton for subbing.

A couple of late afternoon call-offs due to illness forced us to shuffle things around a bit. That might have thrown us off, because we played uncharachteristically sloppy for most of the night. The biggest issue for us was that other than Conner's double-post-and-in goal to tie the game at 1 a piece in the 1st, we just couldn't solve Kid Caldwell. He made at least 2-3 saves that I still have no idea how the puck didn't end up in the net.
Also, we're starting a gofundme to get Conner some new work boots. Every little bit will help us help Conner avoid an unnecessary workplace injury.
After losing a tight game last week, the Bullitts come back this week looking to get back in the win column against the Galaxies.
This was a fast paced game, with lots of chances both ways. Rosen is finally able to get us on the board to take the lead. But the Galaxies come back 2 minutes later and tie it up, and we end the first tied.
A few minutes into the 2nd, the cool Robillard draws a penalty, and then scores the PP goal to take the lead back. Rosen is able to get his second of the game not too long after that, and we go into the 3rd up 3-1.
The 3rd period goes scoreless until the much more handsome Robillard gets an empty netter right before the game ended.
But the story of the game was the Caldwell vs Caldwell match up. Both played great, but the younger one on our team made some MONSTER saves. Two giant ones on open one timers. Great job, Brendan!
Big thanks to Rob Hall, Adam Pinkowski, and Vic Quatrin for subbing!
Next week we have our last regular season game against the Mariners.

Another tough Playoff type game. Back and forth action as both teams had plenty of chances! Welcome back Ryan! Great play up front by Middleton and Rob Hall! Danny with 2 goals and Rob with the 2 helpers! Alex played well stopping the puck in key moments of the game! Gates with the goon penalty of the season, taking out Deroche with a massive hook that almost took his arms off!!(Just kidding, Deroche fell on his own). Gates said it was his first penalty since coming back to the league, he was very upset about that! It was good to have all but one of our team back. I thought we would have our 10, but JC decided to take his little guys team to the Monday championship game at n Chicago. Hope it was worth it! Alderman and Owen came back from hiatus as well! Up next the red hot diesel!
