In their second B league crossover game, Team V blew out
Peace Frogs II 12-1. In an effort that saw each player on Visualeyes record a
point, team point leader, Eric Schottke led the way with 3 goals and 3 assists
while Kevin Rogers knocked in four goals.
“Rogers is like the Tebow of the EMHL, he just finds a way
to get it done. Even though his stick is from the early 90’s he still has
hundreds of goals left in it. He’s making a strong case to stay up on the big
club for the rest of the year. “ said Schottke after the win.

While the win came quite handily for the boys in red white
and blue, chippy, uncontrolled play was a concern for veteran winger Bob
Simpson-Corigliano. “To be quite honest, I think these types of games are dangerous for
our guys. That team was getting mad when we passed, mad when we shot, mad when
we carried the puck. The commissioner of the league really has to look at these
crossover games and ask himself if they are really necessary.”
Matt English-Gunning was more than happy to play anyone
Friday, getting on the ice for his first time in almost a month. “It was a
great all around team effort, from the goal-tending out. Our D was making
fantastic breakout passes and our forwards were burying their opportunities.
Personally it felt great to get back on the 200x85. It was nice to have a goal and 2 apples in
the first 5 goals of the game and then put it on cruise control for the
remaining 30 minutes.”
Recent addition to the V, Mike Denz used the game as a
tune-up for his skills. “The nice part about playing b league teams is you get
an opportunity to work on some things in a game situation and try some new
things you can’t simulate in practice. We’re always looking for ways to improve
as the season rolls along.”
