Ice: Squirrels 6, Hockey Donkeys 4

A short-benched Squirrels team dealt a demoralizing loss to the Hockey Donkeys on Saturday, scoring three third period goals en route to a 6-4 win.

Victor Pinto passes out beers after the win.

The Hockey Donkeys scored the first two goals, but Arie Stock got the scoring started for the Squirrels as he poked in a loose puck after his initial shot. The Hockey Donkeys, however, got one back for a 3-1 lead after the first period.

Neil Shah floated a shot up high to cut the lead to 3-2 but the Hockey Donkeys again got that one back.

Stock scored his second of the game midway through the second period on a breakaway, one of several chances he had in the game, but the Squirrels still trailed 4-3 going into the third period.

Vivek Pinto tied the game early in the second, before the Squirrels lost a player to a scuffle, giving them only two subs.

After Ben Sumner stupidly floating a clearing attempt up the middle of the ice, he then dove in front of the slap shot by the guy who intercepted it, which then sprang Pinto for an odd-man rush and the game-winning goal. Tony Richelsen dunked in an insurance goal only 27 seconds after that, and the Squirrels held on for the win.
