Provo Blades vs. Lady Grizzlies – October 16, 2010

WIN 2-0

Another game, another win! A long overdue victory against the Lady Grizz was recorded in the books this afternoon. The game came down to who was willing battle harder and skate faster for the win and the Blades came out on top with a 2-0 sweep. It was a good, clean, quick game to both play in and watch. The first period was scoreless as goalies came up big on both ends of the ice. Thanks to Dina for substituting for us in net for the second game in a row. In the second period, Ellen Spangberg put the Blades up on the scoreboard finishing off a nice rebound from a shot by Jodi Weiss Moore. Later in the period, Nicole Luscher secured the second goal for the team, assisted by Jana Weiss and the Blades were able to hang on for a 2-0 triumph over the Lady Grizz. Shots on goal for the game were almost evenly matched, but in favor of the Blades at 17-15. Quick feet and accurate passes opened up the ice, tired out the Grizz and won the game for the Blades. Congratulations Girls!

Provo Blades vs. Ice Vixens – October 15, 2010

WIN 10-0

The Blades showed no mercy tonight as they skated to a 10-0 victory over the Ogden Ice Vixens. Congratulations to Jasmine Weiss who buried two goals in the first period and one in the third for the first hat trick of her hockey career! Mindy Bott and Ellen Spangberg followed in scoring each securing a pair of goals as well as Jodi Weiss, Nicole Luscher, and Jonica Rich who all potted single goals to reach the 10-point total. The blades skated through the frustration of the Vixens to create 2 power play opportunities late in the game. Everyone played really well and moved the puck around to rack up our shots on goal total to 37 and make for an exciting season opener! A special thanks to goalie Dina Demarco for stepping in and coming up big for the team as well as to Coach Weiss for the inspiration on the bench.
