Roughly 10 weeks ago these two teams met for the first time of the season. In that game, the Flames had some chances but couldn’t bury enough of them, and lost 10-3. Today, the Flames were down 3-1 to the Boch Blazers, just a little more than ten minutes into the game.

On Saturday afternoon the 2010 Flames broke into the win column with a 4-2 win over SASA of St. Albans, VT. The Flames gave a solid effort from start to finish in earning the victory. I must say that the goaltender for SASA played very well and kept his team in the game.
