Aces Fight off Sharks for 5-3 Win

November 22nd, 2021 This was the game where the goalies kept the score respectable for if not for their performance - the score could or would have resembled a NFL game. Aces captain Whitney Olsen returned after missing last week with an undisclosed injury found the back of the net for his second goal of the game with 4:35 left in the third for the GWG - his second of the year. Yosef Natour scored with 1:12 to seal the victory of the Aces who remain undefeated on the season with a 5-0 record. Last year the Aces started the season with a streak of 7-0-2... their first loss of three on the year all came from the Tycoons - which who they will play against on Dec 3rd... will history repeat itself? Liam Moorfield-Yee turned away 30 of 33 while Sharks Avery Gobbo was 26 of 31. The quantity might not seem all that high for a CIHL game but it's always the quality vs quantity... which quality was certainly the winner on this night.

Warriors Have Their Way With Tycoons

November 22nd, 2021 The AsiaXpat Kowloon Warriors have won back-to-back games for the first time is a very long time - might have something to do with fielding a full team of regular players!!! Devin Welsh had triple-triple night with three goals and 3 helpers. With the 6 points on the night - it gives him a team leading 15 points in 5 games. Jake McDonell who was playing in only his second game after a lengthy time off (thanks to COVID) had a CIHL record night with 7 assists on the night - after just two games he sits third in team scoring with 9 points. The HKBN Hong Kong Tycoons actually kept the game very close as they were only trailing by the count of 4-3 late in the second - that was until Devin netted two goals within 17 seconds of each other in the finals 35 seconds of the period to put the game out of reach. Ray Loo picked up his second win of the season stopping 28 shots while Emerson Keung had another tough night with 40 shots against. If the Tycoons are going to continue to let as many shots against - they are going to need their full squad out - just ask the Warriors how will it works when everyone comes to play!
