Here we go with a new year. Hoping we all have a healthy happy one. 

The first game, the comeback kids do it again. Final Touch started out on the poor end of a 2-0 lead by Vescera. In the end they tied in the third with two goals. In the second, shot out of a cannon was Shane McCormick on the HOME RUN play that Vescera employs. Later Avery Coppin got out in front to beat the Touch. Two Minutes later, Frank Nardone sent Scott Webber for the goal. In the third, Shane McCormick got another breakaway early. Less than a minute later, boy wonder, Ben Hevner did the heavy lifting and made it 3-2. Late in the period, deja vu all over again, Frank Nardone to Scott Webber for the tie. And that would do it 3-3. 

Next we have MPP vs. Votta Properties. Ricky himself started the game with a goal mid first. Steve Donavan on the second goal late in the period. MPP with the early goal in the second to cut the lead in half. This was by Keith Kraunelis. MPP would tie it up with a goal by Mike Thomas. 3 goals in the natty hatty by my boy Kole Sisson back in action. One more goal by Mike Thomas for the evil empire, but that would do it. 5-3 Votta Props. 

Another tight game in the end. Edge Doctor versus Green Goddess. All tied up in the first. Adam Babikian from Bill Papa Babikian for the start. Little Robbie Edleman for the Goddess goal, from Shannon Reilly and Mark Kosinski. In the second, Garret Reilly would get the game winner. From Raf Manzo and Scott Reilly. What are the odds the Reilly family would each get a point. Hmm. Crazy. That's it, I am sure it was a more exciting game, but that was it on the scoring. Goddess wins 2-1. 

Have a great first week of 2026. 

Live, Breathe, Love...................HOCKEY!!
