Saturday afternoon at West Side Arena in Manchester, NH the 2010 Flames jumped out to an early lead against the Bridgewater Bandits. The Flames would go on to win the game, 9-0. That being said, this wasn’t necessarily as lopsided a game as the scoreboard read.

On Sunday afternoon the 2010 Flames played against the Gilmour Gladiators for the second time in less than 20 hours. This was the second Semi-Final game, and the Ramapo Saints had already won the first Semi-Final, 5-1 over the Bowie Bruins. This Flames game would be one of the wildest finishes I have ever seen in my hockey memory.

As teams are made up of individual competitors, and they go to tournaments to compete against others, and to better themselves. When the team travels out of state or their home region to compete, that’s even better. It’s a chance to measure themselves against a bigger, more diverse, and possibly better field.

It was a late October day up in the northwest corner of New York. The temperature just barely climbed past 50F and the clouds were winning the battle for sky supremacy. As it turned out, it was a perfect backdrop for a day that I hope none of us soon forget. 2010 Flames Visit the Falls
The first period of yesterday’s game could have buried the 2010 Flames as the Crimson Club 10 team stormed the offensive zone and clogged the shooting lanes in their defensive end. Despite a lopsided advantage in shots on goal, the Crimson only managed a 1-1 score after the opening period.
