Redwings struggle to get on the plus side

September 25, 2013   ·   0 Comments

Another loss on the weekend leaves the Shelburne Redwings still looking for their first win of the season.

The squad travelled to South Muskoka on Friday, September 20, to take on the Shield, but came up short and were shut-out 6–0 by the home team.

It was the third loss for the Redwings.

The Shelburne squad were called on six minutes in minors in the first period and four minutes in the third period, but otherwise kept their play clean and took no penalties in the second period.

It was the second game in a row where the Redwings left the ice without scoring.

On Friday, September 13, they were in Temiscaming and took a 10–0 loss to the Titans.

They did better in their first game on September 7, when they travelled to Powassan to take on th Eagles and left with a 4-3 loss.

In that game they were behind 2-0 in the early going but scored twice in the second period to make it a 3-2 game going into the final 20 minutes.

The Eagles score again to make it 4–2, but a final Shelburne goal late in the game brought them within a goal of tying it up.

It’s still early in the season but already some League front runners are starting to take their place in the League standings.

The defending champion Bradford Bulls are in first place with five wins and one overtime loss.

They are followed by the Toronto B Ice Jets in second place with five wins after six games, and South Muskoka who are undefeated after four games.

The Redwings will bring it home this Friday (Sept. 27) with their first game of the season on home ice at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex.

They will host the Lefroy Wave to open in front of home town fans.

The puck drop is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
