After the tightest standings race in A-Division history, the Buzzards secured a 4th place finish and a 1st round Quarter-final series with the highly penalized Team Players.

 

After easily winning game 1 5-1, and jumping out to a 3-0 lead in Game 2, the Buzzards got sucked into penalty trouble and gave away the game to tie the series.

Game 3 saw penalties become the deciding factor when a questionable "injury" to the opposing goaltender.. He laid motionless for 3 minutes on the ice helping to convince the officials that the collision with his glove was severe.

 

Fortunately for the Team Players their goaltender made a miraculous recovery once a 5-minute major penalty was assessed, and the resulting Powerplay became the decisive factor with 2 PPG coming in that time.

 

The Buzzards battled back to score late in the 3rd, but it was waived off in favor of another penalty & the Team Players added an empty netter to secure the series.

 

Good luck to the Team Players in the semi-finals. 

After 18 seasons with the Buzzards, Dan Pilling has announced his retirement from the Buzzards to join the Vultures.

The franchise leader in all categories has handed the Buzzards reigns to Travis Fredley.

In other off-season moves, Steve Zmudczynski & Harlan Anderson have bothe retired following moves to Toronto & Salmon Arm respectively.

 

All 3 players will be missed in the room & on the ice!
