Regular Season
Game # 1 - 01/19, 1pm - AWAY at Team HWO
The first game of the new 2002 Winter season turned out to
be a makeshift game. Linda played for the short bench
Team HWO against the Rebels. Both squads on the ice had only
four skaters to each side to start this game.
The Rebels scored first on goals by Lina and Carol
as Team HWO ended the first period ahead, 3-2, with three goals
of their own.
Joan began the second period scoring to tie the game 3-3.
Team HWO scored the next two goals before Jeanne scored
her goal. Team HWO added another goal to end the third period
leading 6-4.
Team HWO extended their lead to 9-4 as Linda collected two goals
for her hat trick scoring. Lina scored the last goal of the
period but the Rebels trailed 9-5 when the buzzer sounded.
Both squads agreed to a short 5-minute period of additional
skating before calling it a day. Vikki scored her hat trick
goal while Jeanne collected her second goal to end the game
10-6 favoring Team HWO.
Game # 2 - 01/26, 1pm - HOME vs Team HWO
Team HWO scored the first goal of the game but three
quick goals by Lina, Joan and Carol gave
the Rebels a 3-1 lead. Then, scores by Vikki and June tied
the game at 3-3 before Lina gave the Rebels a 4-3 lead going
into the break.
The Rebels extended their lead to 7-3 on a Joan assisted score
by Christin and back to back goals from Rebels' newcomer
Liz.
After a Team HWO goal, Linda made a setup pass to Christin
for her second goal of the game. Then, Christin and Joan setup
the next two goal scores to give Liz four goals in the game and
the Rebels a 10-4 lead. Three late scores by Team HWO ended the
game as a 10-7 final score victory for the Rebels.
Game # 3 - 02/02, 1pm - AWAY at Team HWO
Week three into the season confirmed there would only be two
teams playing for the season. All players agreed to changing
the time period format to three 20-minute running time periods
versus the usual two periods of one 20- plus one 25-minute
running time.
Traci scored the first two periods of the game to give the
Rebels an early lead. Team HWO, the combined remaining
players of the Fall Season Polar Cats and Spitfire, scored four
unanswered goals to take a 4-2 into the second period.
Jenn scored Team HWO's fifth goal before the Rebels tied the game,
5-5, on goals by Christin, Lina and Jeanne.
However, Vikki reclaimed Team HWO one goal lead, 6-5, on a goal
scored before the end of the second period.
Jeanne, on a setup pass from Lina, tied the score for the game's
third time. Joan scored the go ahead goal while Christin
(her second) and Jeanne (her third) scored to push the Rebels'
lead to 9-6. Team HWO picked up two more scores to end the third
period 9-8.
Elizabeth faced and blocked the lone penalty shot by Team
HWO in a "football tackle" style to preserve the Rebels' win. Both
the goalie and the shooter picked themselves up laughing as the
miscue was caused by the loss of a skate's edge on the quick move
going to the right.
Game # 4 - 02/09, 1pm - HOME vs Team HWO
Both teams were suffering from not being 100 percent: Short players
benches, a little sick and a little tired. Could it be a bit of the
"Olympic Games Fever" going around? Today's game was shortened
to 45 minutes versus 60 minutes.
Lina started the game scoring for the Rebels while Christina
countered with a goal for Team HWO to tie the game with a shot
on the goalie sub (Mr. Orange Cone to you and me). Midway through
the first period, Hockey WorkOut supplied a goalie for the Rebels' net
(to replace Mr. Cone). Next, Lina scored the Rebels' go ahead goal to
reclaim the lead. Finally, the period's scoring ended with Linda
getting what eventually turned out to be the game winning goal.
The second period lead off with Jeanne scoring a quick goal and
later Mary scoring to push the Rebels' lead to 5-1. Christina
ended all scoring for the day with her second goal of the game for Team
HWO to create a final game score of 5-2 favoring the Rebels.
The game was over and everyone was hustling to get home to warm up and
get a TV shot of the Olympic games. Hurry. Olympic hockey is schedule
for 3pm!
Game # 5 - 02/16, 1pm - HOME vs Team HWO
Knowing the U.S. women's hockey team had played earlier in the
morning to a 5-0 victory over Finland and Team Canada would not be
playing for at least 4-5 hours against Sweden, everyone decided to
come out to play hockey to pass the time.
Visiting Team HWO scored the opening goal of the game but
Carol H. tied the game on a Lina setup shot on net.
Traci then gave the Rebels a 2-1 lead on the next goal scored.
Team HWO tied the game at two goals apiece before Lina scored to
reclaim the Rebels' lead. Unfortunately, Team HWO scored the next
five unanswered goals to take a 7-3 lead into the first break.
Linda started the second period scoring followed by Jenn's
goal to make the score 8-4. Lina scored her second goal of the
game before Kristine scored her second goal to change the score to
9-5. Team HWO scored again but was countered by a hat trick goal
by Lina and a second goal from Linda. Jenn completed the game's
scoring as Team HWO reclaimed its four goal lead ending the game
11-7 and taking home the victory.
A final 10-minute mini-period was played to end the day as Mr. Cone
returned to play in the Team HWO net. Both teams scrambled up and
down the ice to only obtain a single goal for their efforts. Our
local game was over but everyone was looking forward to the Olympic
women's hockey game to be played on TV in a few hours.
Game # 6 - 02/23, 1pm - AWAY at Team HWO

up 7-1.

goal of the period before Linda scored on a Liz setup pass.
Then Liz scored the next three goals for a "natural hat trick"
to give the Rebels a 5-0 goals scored for the period.
The third period scoreboard was reset again to zero-zero.
After 40-minutes of hockey, the goal scoring pace was slowing
down as the Rebels utilized the new period as a passing drill
exercise. Team HWO scored the first goal of the period on a
puck shot that somehow managed to find the tiniest of openings
while Elizabeth had the left post smothered with her
goalie pads. Lina and Jeanne ended the period's scoring for
a 2-1 Rebels' goals scored advantage.
Joan took the lone penalty shot (issued for too many
men on the ice) but Team HWO's Theresa stopped the attempt to
end the final goal tally 14-2 favoring the Rebels.

a Rebels' win on it. The "hot player" of the day was Vikki as she
