Ball Hockey Double-Header Delivers 22-Goal Thriller
|
The PCC hockey rink played host to an explosive night of Bermuda ball hockey action as a high-scoring double-header saw the back of the net ripple 22 times across two pulsating fixtures.
BDA Spirits 4 CG 2
In the evening's opening clash, BDA Spirits demonstrated clinical finishing to secure a 4-2 victory over CG.
The contest ignited in a frantic first period that saw three goals scored in quick succession. While Nathan Kowalski provided an early spark for CG, BDA Spirits responded with authority through strikes from Fanie Grenier and Stefan Chamberland.
After a scoreless and defensive second period, Mathieu Ingelman took center stage in the final period, netting a crucial brace to pull his side clear. A late effort from CG's Jeremy Estey proved to be a mere consolation as the Spirits held firm to claim the points.
Alexandra Mosher 5 ACT 11
The goal-scoring intensity shifted into an even higher gear for the nightcap, where ACT produced a ruthless offensive display to dismantle Alexandra Mosher in an 11-5 triumph.
The tone was set in a relentless opening period as ACT surged ahead with five goals courtesy of Bruce Jackson, Anthony Kapsimalis, Shane Matchett, and a double from Samuel Vieira, while Troy Marchand kept Mosher in touching distance.
Despite valiant efforts from Matt Mcphail and Akhil Kapur to keep the contest competitive in the second period, ACT continued to find gaps in the defense.
Samuel Vieira completed his hat-trick while Bruce Jackson and Chris Cairns added to the mounting tally. The final period belonged entirely to Cairns, who showcased incredible form by adding a further three goals to his personal haul.
Although Chris Hodgson and Mcphail managed to add to the Mosher total, they were ultimately overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the ACT attack in a match that provided relentless entertainment for the spectators at the PCC.

Spine & Sport edge High-Scoring Thriller at PCC Rink
|
CG 3 Spine & Sport 4
The Bermuda Ball Hockey League served up a high-octane classic at the PCC Hockey Rink as Spine & Sport narrowly overcame CG in a seven-goal encounter defined by momentum shifts and clinical finishing.
The contest began as a cagey, tactical affair in the opening frame. CG found the breakthrough thanks to the predatory instincts of Danny Hudson, who provided the only goal of the first period to give his side a narrow advantage heading into the first interval.
However, the game exploded into life during the second period as Spine & Sport seized control of the proceedings. Rob Osborne emerged as the central figure of the turnaround, striking twice in quick succession to turn the deficit into a lead. The momentum stayed firmly with the chasing side when Cole Haggett added a third goal, completing a three-goal surge that stunned the CG bench. Despite the pressure, CG kept themselves within touching distance when Hudson found his second of the night to keep the scoreline tight heading into the final frame.
The drama continued in the third period as both sides searched for a decisive blow. Cole Haggett mirrored teammate Osborne’s brace by grabbing his second goal of the game, restoring a two-goal cushion for Spine & Sport. Jennifer Toope managed to pull one back for CG late in the game, ensuring a frantic finale, but Spine & Sport held firm under the mounting pressure to secure a vital 4–3 victory.
The result provides a significant boost for Spine & Sport as they look to climb the league standings, while CG will be left to rue a period of lapsed concentration that allowed the game to slip away.

Alexandra Mosher 4 Hamilton Princess 3
The opening encounter saw Alexandra Mosher edge past Hamilton Princess in a tightly contested 4-3 thriller.
After a scoreless opening period where defenses held firm, the match exploded into life during the second period.
Adam Mattatall and Akhil Kapur gave Mosher an early advantage, but Hamilton Princess fought back through Richard Campbell and John Duda. Shannon Gosse restored the lead for Mosher, only for Shawn McKee to level the scores once more.
The tension was finally broken in the third period when Kapur struck his second of the night to secure a hard-fought victory.
Positive Image Dental 9 ACT 8
The drama escalated in the evening’s second fixture as Positive Image Dental narrowly defeated ACT 9-8 in a goal-scoring frenzy.

The second period remained just as frantic, with Ross Rufiange and Josh Prodger adding to Dental's tally as they looked to pull away. Despite a late surge from ACT led by Wilshaw’s hat-trick and a goal from Samuel Vieira, Positive Image Dental held their nerve.
A final period effort from John King proved to be the decisive blow, ensuring Dental emerged on the right side of a seventeen-goal marathon to cap off a spectacular return to the rink.

Spine & Sport Claim Crucial Victory Over Spirits
|
Spine & Sport 4 BDA Spirits 2
In the latest installment of the Bermuda Ball Hockey league, the focus turned to a pivotal bottom-of-the-table clash at the PCC Hockey Rink. In what was the sole fixture of the evening, seventh-place Spine & Sport delivered a clinical performance to overcome sixth-place BDA Spirits with a 4–2 victory.
The match began with Spine & Sport asserting their authority early on. Johnny Talbot proved to be the standout figure in the opening exchanges, finding the back of the net to give his side a narrow lead heading into the first interval. It was a period defined by tight checking and limited clear-cut opportunities as both sides looked to establish their rhythm after the recent run of weather-related disruptions in the league schedule.
The second period saw Spine & Sport pull away in decisive fashion. Talbot continued his fine individual form by grabbing his second of the night, before teammates Ryan Bates and Cole Haggett added further strikes to silence the Spirits' bench. The three-goal surge in the middle frame left BDA Spirits with a mountain to climb, as they struggled to breach a resolute Spine & Sport defensive unit that appeared determined to snap their recent losing streak.
However, BDA Spirits refused to concede without a fight and mounted a spirited comeback in the final period. Ryan Marshall emerged as the primary threat for the chasing side, striking twice in quick succession to reduce the deficit and inject some late tension into the proceedings. Despite the surge in pressure, Spine & Sport held firm during the closing minutes to secure the points and move within striking distance of their rivals in the standings.
The result marks a significant turnaround for Spine & Sport, who had suffered high-scoring losses in their previous outings. While BDA Spirits will be disappointed to leave the rink empty-handed, the resilience shown in the final period provides a foundation to build on as the league enters the crucial final stages of the winter season.
