Lady Tommies game on CHSR: The Dalhousie game, originally scheduled for October 31st/09, being played on Sunday at 4 PM, can be heard live on CHSR 97.9 FM or online at http://chsrfm.ca/listen-here/listen-live John "the hammer" Pickett will be handling the play by play and the talented Katherine Boudreau will be back doing the colour.

It will be a tough weekend for the Tommies as they face both Halifax teams in SMU and Dalhousie. With a little luck Lucrese Nussbaum and Nicole Dube should be back patrolling the blueline for St. Thomas. Both were out of the lineup last weekend.

Tigers stalking Tommies: In the standings that is. Both Dalhousie teams (men's and women's) are one point behind St. Thomas in the standings. The Ladies have wiggle room as they are in third spot but nevertheless an important game. The men do not have this luxury and are one point up on the Tigers for the 6th and final playoff spot. Huge game on Friday night to say the least.

The men defeated Dalhousie both times in the first half. The first game at the LBR on Oct. 24th was a romp 9 - 3 and in Halifax on Halloween afternoon, 4 - 3 in a shoot out. Corey Banfield scored the shoot out winner. Corey will not be in the line-up this weekend for the Tommies.
