Speck Blog: Cyclops Fall to Demons
This week our team went out and lost a tough game to the Niagara Lock Monsters in a relatively low scoring 11-7 final. Our goaltender Jay Preece made several outstanding saves to keep us in the game and give us extra chances to try and close the gap near the end, but we couldn’t find a way to beat Dave DiRuscio when it mattered as he was solid all night….
