Round 2 - Timing is Everything
After a two game series with the Waterloo Ravens, the Kitchener Lady Rangers opened up round two of the LLFHL Playoffs against the Cambridge Roadrunners.  

In a faster paced first game, the Lady Rangers opened the scoring on their first shot, an off speed (read fluffer nutter) change up type shot that caught the goaltender off guard. A couple of great tipped shots and a screen shot from the point had the ladies taking game one.

Perhaps it was the delay in the ref’s arrival but the return trip for game two at the Preston Auditorium got off to a wildly different start. Many penalties, some clock issues and several early exits from the box had both coaching staff’s on the edge of their benches. A beautiful short-handed F1 to F2 put the ladies up by one heading into the break. The third period bore little resemblance to the first two with the ladies playing smart Lady Ranger hockey. Although chances favored the Roadrunners, the ladies held on for a well-deserved victory. Our thanks to all the Roadrunner ladies for a great second round. You are a skilled and well coached team who battled us hard all season. We know the battle will continue for Provincial Qualifiers.

One more round ladies! Step up, continue to play hard and drive that bus!! You don’t always get what you wish for, you get what you work for. This is the time of the season that you’re effort and hard work counts the most. Every shift, for forty two minutes, every game. On behalf of Bill, Dave, Sarah and Tim, congratulations on your second round win.  

Welcome to round three!
