ARRRRRR! A’Hoy There Maties! Pirate Ship Toxic Red Firing Cannons Across The Starboard Bow!
Another epic back-to-back “Battle for Glencliffe Island” match-up!

Toxic Red had another winning weekend, beating our arch nemesis, the Orange, 5 - 1 on Saturday and 1 – 0 on Sunday’s 24 Hour game.

Why is Red vs. Orange so hotly contested?  Do the coaches have something riding on this?  Will the losing coach have to shovel the winning coach’s driveway?  Wash their car?  Wear the other team’s jersey to work?  Fill the water bottles?  We’ll never know, although you can certainly feel the tension in the air.

So far this season, the results have been:

10/01/11 – 5 – 2 Red win

11/19/11 – 5 – 1 Orange win

Jason Cripps semi-finals – 4 – 1  Orange win

02/04/11 – 5 – 1 Red win

02/05/11 – 1 – 0 Red win

Toxic Red is continuing to shine and playing like they did at the start of the season, scoring 15 goals in the last 3 games, while only letting in 2.  It’s certainly exciting hockey to watch.  We’re proud of you guys!
