Here is the best game in the past 4 years for the
Tommies.
#1- STU Tommies vs. UNB Varsity Reds, February 10th, 2006 (STU Wins 10-3)Its time for the annual Lou
Chabot game and the
Tommies were looking for revenge yet again after losing the Mark Jeffery Memorial Game a few weeks before this game. The
laughter at this game was started in the
pre game warm up. It was
Tommies superstition that on the half moon shots on the goalie that Nick
Theriault always got the first shot, scored, then skated as fast as he could to the red line. Well, it was also the
superstition of Craig
Mahon of
UNB to stretch by the red line on the other side. Anyways,
Theriault would skate super fast and
proceeded to snow
Mahon when he stopped.
Mahon always used to be the last off the ice as players like to be last of the ice for
superstition purposes. The
Tommies knew this and waited till
Mahon came off the ice then skated hard to the
Zamboni entrance to be last off. Then
Mahon came back on the ice, skated around then went off the ice to a chorus of boos.
The first period was a tight period with STU holding the advantage 2-1. But you could tell the
Tommies would dominate this game heading into the 3rd period with a 4-1 lead. Then the
Tommies exploded with 6 3rd period goals.
UNB goalie Reg
Bourcier was obviously upset by his performance and Saint Nick decided to say something to him coming off the ice, only to take a blocker shot in the head by
Bourcier, knowing he was dominated by the
Tommies. Matty Seymour had a great performance with a goal and four assists, Saint Nick had 2 goals and Miguel
Delilse had 2 goals and an assist. Brent
Varty had a really strong game and got a huge cheer when probably had his only
body check of the season when he decked
Mahon to the ice. This was the top game in my opinion because the
Tommies saved their greatest game of the 2005-2006 season in the Lou
Chabot game, DESTROYING the Squirrels.
Well,
that's it for me. It was a pleasure for me to be able to get my top 10 games out to the
Tommies Army. I formally announce my retirement from the team as their video guy. Its been a ride and its kind of a good thing that my first game was a dramatic shootout win to last night with the Avery Bank Shot by
Banfield to end the season. I want to thank Mike Eagles and Peter Murphy for letting me be able to work with them and learn more about the game of hockey than I did when I was assistant coaching hockey with my dad back in the day. Its been quite a ride for sure.
Tommies Pride.
