The FISH Season

This wasn't just the Fifth Season, but the FISH season.
This Snappers Fish Market team had played a complete semi-final game that sent them to the finals against Pivot.

They were ready to play.

I was feeling awful.

I had come down with the flu.  The flu shot didn't protect me this year.
I lost my voice, had chills, coughing, aches.
But I was hoping to see Kieran's team come out as Swansea HL champs.

The ice however was not co-operating.
Well more like Mother Nature wasn't.
The sun and warm spell made the area by the benches treacherous.  It made for good bloopers videos though.

The ice was certainly neutralizing this FISH's greatest asset - Speed.
The puck was slow and it was bogging down along the boards and getting buried.

It was a close game though.
A heart breaker 2 - 1 loss.
They definitely had their chances but could not bury them.

A couple of times the puck scooted across the crease, but no one could tap it in for the tying goal.

It was a clean game, they both battled hard.
It was a tough loss, since both teams played well.
But there can only be 1 champion.


There's always next season!
