• Does Hop Valley have the defensive power to match Reno Pond Hockey’s offensive power?
• Dominic Hyer is close to getting ten points.
• Reno Pond Hockey’s power play is deadly. Hop Valley has taken a lot of penalties in their first two games. Five of Hop Valleys penalties were in their last game. Will Hop Valley be able to stay out of the box? The game could get out of hand for hop Valley if they don’t stay out of the box.
• Hop Valley seems to score pretty evenly across all three periods while Reno Pond Hockey seems to play their best hockey in the first period.
• The crowd could be a factor for this game. It is an earlier game. It is during prime time. I expect a larger crowd than normal. If that is the case then whoever brings the most fans will have the home field advantage.
