Enjoying the extra ice time was Bears Cam “Shaft” Graham who notched four more goals into his graphite to go with a pair of assists. Recipients of his saucer-like passes were a couple of guys you don’t want to call on a long weekend as Brody “The Plumber” Neighbour and Rob “Sparky” Courturier both notched singletons.
Finally figuring out how to get his blades running smoothly was Jeff “Needles” Needham who used his blazing speed to score an unassisted beauty and his long reach to collect another.
Replying for Serenity, who have scored less than half what Bear has so far this season, was Matt “The Punisher” Powell with a pair as George “John, Ringo” Paul and Wade Price “Is right” sniped their second and third markers of the campaign.
Finally, being credited with an assist was the Builders much maligned Randy “Killer” Crofts who collected two helpers for good measure.
