  The highlight of the evening was 
    Ross Bartender Hedin's postgame perfect pour.
  As for the earlier broomball contest 
    the Ice Bats found themselves out-manned with only the minimal turnout of 
    eight players. The Ice Bats were forced to play the whole game without a break.
  A strong showing by Ross Hedin 
    in the nets kept the score to a respectable 6 to 0 score considering the situation.
  The game was moved to the nearby 
    Logan Park outdoor hockey rink when it was decided the broomball rink was 
    un-playable. Though the hockey ring surface was itself soft with standing 
    water and with deep puddles in the north end corners.
  Jim Lemire provided the biggest 
    Bat's offensive highlight early in the first half on a breakaway but was stuffed 
    by the 22nd Ave. goalie.
  The 22nd Ave. Station being able 
    to sub with their deep bench was able to keep the pressure on and build a 
    5 goal edge at the half.
  The eight Bats were able to hold 
    them to only one goal in the second half when defending the north goal which 
    was in poorer condition.
  Pleas for Ice Bat alumni Brainerd 
    Bud Baakkonen and David Antila to take a shift were coldly rejected.
