Todd Stephenson scores on breakaway

The BANQ Sydney Ice Dogs may have finished with the wooden spoon but you couldn’t tell that from their 10-2 performance over the Canberra Knights in their final home game of the season.  “We wanted to get a win for our loyal supporters who have grown in number this season” said Captain Anthony Wilson.

Pride was definitely on the line as the game featured plenty of action; goals, hits and the occassional tussle.   A nice way to finish a tough season but the playing group is not naive “it was great to finish on a high, but we still know we have a lot of work to do this offseason” tells American Import Matt Monaghan who had a natural hat-trick and a few assists to boot. 

The Ice Dogs started strong and never looked back as Andrew White got the puck rolling with a penalty shot goal.  Andrew White was not the only defenceman running hot with two goals Anthony Wilson also buried two quick slapshots from blueline and Chad Elliot also had a going away present to start the second period.

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks as we pay thanks to certain people and have some special Ice Dogs TV footage to be released as well.  We will also keep the site maintained over the off-season with the latest news so be sure to check back in every once and a while.
