Chiefs / Maple Leafs summary by: Steve Traynor

The second game on Sunday featured the Chiefs and Maple Leafs. To the amazement of the league, the Chief’s put away the tin foil on Sunday night and showed they could actually stay out of the penalty box when they wanted to. The big change came from a pep talk before the game, in which the team was told they could actually change on the fly and did not have stop play for a line change with a slash, trip or, the team favorite, hooking.

The Maple Leaf’s came out strong and were able to hold the Chief’s deep in their own zone for the first 6 minutes of the first period. However, Dan Notrotamos held strong between the pipes and eventually held the Maple Leafs to 2 goals on 31 shots. Dave Hage scored first for the Chiefs and ended the game with 4 goals and 3 assists. Lisa Weiss tallied 1 goal and 1 assist for the Maple Leafs, with Chucky Miranda knocking in a goal also. Chris Oxier had two goals, and Owen Finnegan, Steve Leach and Jim Keck all put one home for the Chiefs.

Even with a combined 9 goals, the play of the game was not a goal. It was the closely missed attempt of a triple-lutz by Matt Casserly in the third. This skilled jump has never been successfully completed in a game, and if not for the double coated blue line Matt would have. Next time Matt, next time.

Chiefs Highlights

Dave Hage – 4 goals, 3 assists

Chris Oxier – 2 goals, 1 assist

Jim Keck – 1 goal, 1 assist

Maple Leafs Highlights

Lisa Weiss – 1 goal, 1 assist

Chucky Miranda – 1 goal
