The puck hit him on the side of the head and went off his mask. He did get up and continued to play in net. Shortly after that Jurassic Pucks would score. The score was 3-0 after two periods.
Reno Pond Hockey did score in the third period. The puck was forced into the net after a wrap-around attempt. I don’t know the exact time of the goal because LiveBarn did not record most of the third period. The final score was 1-3 Jurassic Pucks.
Reno Pond Hockey drops their first game. They are 1-4-0 all-time now in season openers. There were a lot of positives from this game. Reno Pond Hockey was getting extended offensive zone times.
