New information from the Black Dogs.

Our own Denise Davis will be dropping the puck with Megan MacKenzie from the Rochester Edge at the Rochester American's game. Then the whole team will form a ribbon on the ice with the Edge during period's 1 and 2.

It's over in Augusta 2-1 over The Newt's

The dog's are on their way home from a successful road trip to Augusta ME. In the last game this morning the Dog's triumphed on two breakaway goals by Cathy Silva to defeat the New England Travelling Selects 2-1 with Sue going the distance in goal. The Dog's outshot the Newt's 13-10. Seems like a close one. I joked with Sue and asked if Silva's goals were shorthanded. Close breakaway's.

In last nights 5-2 victory here are the stats:

Shots were 33-13 in favour of the Dog's.

Lesley Matthews - 1 goal 1 assist

Cathy Silva -  2 goals 2 assists

Denise Davis - 2 goals

Trish Devine -  1 assist

Amy Mulvey -  2 assists

That's it for now. Go Dog's

Dog's win again 5-2

The Black Dog's played the Maine Mosquitos tonight and came away with a hard fought victory 5-2. Terry was solid in net in this one. They will play the same team in the consolation game tomorrow at 8:15 AM. Sue said they all played well and are looking forward to tomorrow's game and the next five weeks of practice. Look for tomorrow morning's update around 9:00 AM.

Ouch 8-1 Loss

The Dog's got their butts kicked by some 20 something's from Connecticut 8-1. Mike said the rugrats were all over the place like energizer bunnies playing well together with only seven players, yikes. It's tough keeping up with kids when they all played D-1 or D-2 hockey. Well that being said it's on to the next game, see you in the finals kids.

More updates as they come in around 8:00PM.

The Black Dog's victorious 8-1

The report from Mike at ice level is that the Black Dog Women's Ice Hockey team has been triumphant in their first game. The team had a great game with many players scoring in an 8-1 victory over the Kennebec Savings Bank. The score after one period was 5-0. Terry took over for Sue in net for the 2nd and 3rd periods and turned back 7 shots while allowing only one powerplay goal.

Looks like everyone had a hand in this one. More details to come and Mike reports that the team is playing great. The team is playing really well together. We have seen them show flashes of this from time to time but now it looks like they are ready for the challenge ahead.

More to come when Sue reports in with some stats from the game. They are real busy tomorrow with two games.

Dogs take Edmonds Tourney for Third Straight Year

Black Dog hockey is back! The team of 07' showed up in Gloucester this weekend for the annual Darcy Edmonds tournament. The team was back to it's old tricks losing the Friday opener to the Bears 3-1 but bounced back on Sat. morning for a 2-1 win over the Incroyable's from Montreal. The afternoon game was a game against the MA No Stars with a 4-0 Dog's victory. This put them in the medal round against the Wildcat's which the Dogs won handily 5-0. The championship game was a rubber match with the Bear's and the Dog's were really amazing winning 3-1, highlighted by a first period goal by Paula Casey.
Cathy Silva snapped her scoreless streak with three goals for the tourney and VeeAnn also netted a couple. The biggest hooray goes to Denise for her incredible comeback. She provided a huge spark to the team with her first goal in while and showed why she is such a huge asset to the team.

Capt. Laurie Raymond shows the Edmond Tourney trophy to her teammates at the award ceremony.

It was all smiles before the action started by Amy Mulvey and Tricia Devine.

Take a look at this questionable call by the ref (you mean they don't award penalty shots for being tripped from behind on a break away). Cathy Silva makes it look easy.
