Canadian Import Jassi Sangha looks to be settling in, as he tallied a hat trick last Saturday night in the Sydney Ice Dogs 6-1 win over the visiting Penrith Bears at the Liverpool Catholic Club Sports Complex.

Sangha started his scoring spree a few minutes into the opening frame with a blistering slap shot from out far. Determined to redeem themselves after last weeks defeat the Penrith Bears answered back not too long after capitalising on an Ice Dogs penalty. Tied at 1-1, the Canadian struck two more times to give the Ice Dogs a comfortable 3-1 lead and his first Australian Ice Hockey League hat-trick. “It was important for us to get the win tonight, we seem to be coming together as a team and that will benefit us further along in the season” added Sangha.

With a 3-1 score line the Sydney rivalry was re-ignited as the Bears Goaltender did not take too kindly to a collision with Ice Dogs forward Todd Stephenson, in which the two exchanged “gloves” before the referee’s would intervene. Stephenson would later score the final goal for the Ice Dogs to finish off the 6-1 victory.

The Dogs will face the Bears in Penrith next week, before the Canberra Knights come to town Sunday May 24th at the LCC Sports Complex.
