New Coaches Work Magic!

The New Era of Rockies Hockey has gotten off to a successful start!

They started off the Tim Hunter Regime with a trio of games at home in the Mile High Club Arena. The Rockies managed to go undefeated in the stretch... pummeling the Blackhawks 9-2, tying the North Stars 3-3, then doubling the Canucks 4-2.

"The team has reacted well to what we're trying to get across," explained Hunter, "it's certainly a huge relief to start out on the right foot."

Three of the Rockies' players manged a total of 5 points on the day... rookie C Nicholas Deschamp, LW Pat Bordeleau, and LW Brian Willsie. However, the leader of day was veteran D Sergie Gonchar, recording 7 points on the day (3G, 4A).

The Alaska Aces, also under a new coaching staff, managed to have a decent day as well, losing a 3-2 squeaker to the Oil Kings, then man-handling the Crushers 7-3. In the latter game, LW Colin Stuart had a massive game, accumulating 11 shots... scoring on 4 of them, while also adding as assist. Stuart scored 4 consecutive goals in a span of 15 minutes.

Things are looking up in Rockie-ville... even if only for 1 day.

For the Colorado Complainer, this has been Nathan Livingston.
