A heartbreaker of...

Hats off to Team Steds

... an intra-mural hockey game it was. As they always do, the Gentlemen AND Gentleladies held nothing back on ice yesterday, giving the proverbial 110%, but unfortunately, it just wasn't enough. It was all very reminiscent of trying to make a 10 cent phone call at a pay phone, but all you had was a nickel! Sadly, in overtime, Team Steds went down 7-6. It's games like these that cut straight to the quick and are the hardest to get over, but there's no doubt that Team Steds will regroup and return next year in fine fighting form. On the season, Tim Sherman, coach and Steds senior, said, "We had an up and down year this year, more ups then downs. I'm proud of the way Blossfeld stepped between the pipes tonight in a position he has little experience in. This team is in good hands next year with Matt Ebertin at the helm and St. Ed smiling down on them all!"

Still, on assuming the mantle of goalie, Josh Blossfeld said, "As the Steds backup goalie, I was pressed into action in the playoffs against perennial powerhouse, Zahm. In a thrilling and ultimately disappointing game, we lost in overtime, 7-6. As indicated by the score, the goalie play was not the strong suit for either team, and using the Recsports old goalie pads definitely didn’t help, along with a minor injury I suffered at the start of the first period. Despite the final score, Steds played a great game, and we look forward to next season. The offseason starts now."
