At the end of the first, VetiVa thought they restored the lead when Art Tam finished a scramble in front of the net and scored post and in, only to have the refs rule the buzzer had gone off before the puck completely crossed the line. 1-1 after the first. From there, VetiVa took full control. On the first shift of the 2nd period, Art Tam restored the lead with a backhand post and in, off a nice entry and feed from Theo Wong. Paul Chai followed with his goal low glove from the slot after taking a great pass from Jason Wong (VetiVa LPP) from the corner, and Theo Wong made it 4-1 late in the period with Ng collecting the assist. The floodgates opened in the third as Chai scored just 30 seconds in as he pounced on a loose rebound, Jason Wong added another 2 minutes later, and Jason Wong completed his night with his second a few minutes later.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 GAME 1 China Hockey Group outlasts Manulife 7-6 in overtime shootout In a wild back-and-forth battle, China Hockey Group edged Manulife 7-6 in overtime, capping a game filled with momentum swings and clutch scoring. Manulife jumped out early as Jackie Chan scores on a spin-a-rama shot that goes off Sumi Chau at 3:25 and Jason Yip right off the next faceoff breaks through the CHG D 30 seconds later and roofs it top corner glove side to make it 2-0 just 1.5 minutes into the game. Middle of the first, CHG responded as Stephen Levac cycled across the front of the slot and goes cross grain blocker side to close within 1, followed by Andy Ma (CHG LPP) completing a 2 on 1 pass from Art Tam (CHG LPP) with a one timer past Chau to tie the game. 2-2 after the first period. The second period saw CHG take the lead when Art Tam struck at 2:40 as he snuck one by Grant Phillips near post glove side low to give CHG their first lead, only for Reto Broennimann to answer with a point shot post and in, at 5:12 and Gary Lawrence benefits from a battle on the boards to get a puck all alone in front of the net. Chau stopped the initial shot, but it slid behind her, and Gary who goes to the net like you're supposed to, found it and poked it in to push Manulife ahead. 4-3 after 2 periods. The third period was a rollercoaster - Levac tied it at 2:30, and Andy Ma restored CHG's lead at 5:15 as he banged home a corner feed from Reston Ko to give CHG the lead again. Reto equalized on the power play at 9:59 with shot in the slot by a screened Chau, and Lawrence made it 6-5 with his 2nd of the night at 12:24. It was looking like Manulife was going to hold on, but David Finifter's point shot found Jon Mei on the backdoor as he tipped it behind Chau with 14 seconds left in the 3rd to tie the game at 6 forcing overtime, where Levac sealed the win at 3:30 with an unassisted marker as he closed in and fired it far side.

After two scoreless periods, JOG broke the deadlock in the third when Tracy Wong scored a breakaway goal going forehand backhand off Scott Strickland’s feed. This looked to be enough as JOG was able to keep RBC frustrated, but a late penalty put RBC on a late powerplay. And with time winding down, Shane Weir tips a Antoine Devolz point shot past Arthur Chan with only 16 seconds remaining to force overtime. In overtime, 48 seconds into the extra frame, Leon Mo intercepts a pass in his own zone, catches Devolz off balance at the blueline and breaks down the ice, pulls up waiting for Tracy Wong, then they perform a give and go before going cross crease to bury the winner past Chan to give JOG the victory.

VetiVa struck first just 24 seconds in through Theo Wong as he snuck one short side past Nicholas Sellers, but AsiaXpat answered with a flurry - Patrick Costello scored at 1:12 tipping one by Grant Phillips (VetiVa LPP), followed 2 on 1 goal by Justin Wong as he puts a Bedardlike strike into the top corner after receiving a great pass from Dave Lee. On the next shift, Wong chips a pass off the center ice boards to Alvin Sham who does the rest as he blew thru the VetiVa defense and avoids the poke-check by Phillips to score. Patrick Costello then finished a 2 on 1 with Sham to make it 4-1 Xpat before Theo Wong scored again to keep VetiVa within 2 goals. 4-2 after the first. In the second period Wong completed his hattrick with a laser past Sellars, followed by his 4th as he finished off an intentional pass off the back boards from Justin Lam to Wong on the backdoor to tie the game at 4. However, Sham answered back with a laser top corner glove side from the left faceoff dot followed shortly with his hatty off an offensive faceoff as he wins the faceoff poking it past Tam, goes around him and cuts out from side of the net to bury it 5-hole to regain Xpat's 2 goal lead. 6-4 Xpat after 2 periods. In the 3rd, VetiVa answered back when Ray Tang (VetiVa LPP) take a pass from Josh Steinhaus in the corner, cuts out and goes backhand 5-hole on Sellars to close it to 6-5. Midway in the 3rd, Sham got added a fourth as he stole the puck from the VetiVa defense at the blueline for a breakaway and again deked Phillips who desperately tried to poke check Sham to regain 2 goal lead. A few minutes later, Josh Steinhaus powered past 2 Xpat D as he fired it past Sellars in close to bring VetiVa within 1, but they fell short as they could not find the equalizer late in the game as AsiaXpat hung on for the win.

Congratulations to Young Guns Hockey Team 2024-2025 SCIHL Division 3 Champions Championship Finals - Young Guns 5 : VetiVa 2 Young Guns capture league title on the back of Danny Chiu’s championship hattrick The SCIHL championship finals this year was between Young Guns Hockey who led the league most of the year and VetiVa who only made the playoffs after a major turnaround in 2025. It was VetiVa who opened the scoring just over 2 minutes in as Justin Kuok broke down the left-wing and roofed a shot short side top corner over Cameron Chiu. 8 minutes later, a broken play where VetiVa "thought" they had control in front of their net ended up on the stick of Danny Chiu who was forechecking but was upended as he picked up the puck. However, Chiu while on the ice was able to chip it past Nickolas Sellars on the short side to tie it up. 1-1 tie after the first period. In the second the teams continued to play a tight-checking game, but with a majority of zone time in the VetiVa end. While VetiVa earned a powerplay mid-period, it was instead, Calix Ma who picked up a Fabrizio Faita clearing and broke past the VetiVa defense, then wiring a laser into the top of the net past Sellars to give Young Guns a 2-1 lead where it remained for the rest of the period. Danny Chiu scored unassisted again early in the 3rd with his second of the night as he stole the puck and put one by a surprised Sellars. VetiVa was able to back a goal a few minutes later when Art Tam finished a nice pass from behind the net from Robert Chiu to keep VetiVa hopes alive. But as they pressed, Young Guns held the fort and any chances VetiVa came up with, Cameron Chiu was there to close the door. Towards the end, VetiVa pulled the goalie for the extra attacker, but Fabrizio Faita lifted a clearing out and found the empty net to seal the win. 4-2. Chiu then on the next play, earned his hattrick after he broke by the VetiVa defense, faked a shot in the slot to get Sellars out of position, and then put the puck into the open side to close out the scoring. 5-2 the final. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 35 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 16 shots against. Three Stars of the game: 1. Danny Chiu (Young Guns) 2. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 3.

This was a much closer game than the last time out as VetiVa seemed to have resolved their defensive lapses and the 2 teams traded chances only for Grant Phillips, or Nicholas Sellars to be there to keep the score even. It wasn’t until a power play opportunity midway in the first did Vetiva break the ice as it took a double deflection off a point shot to beat Phillips. Jason Yip shot from the point, Rob Chiu deflected in the high slot and a screening Art Tam deflected again just outside the crease to bounce one by Phillips. 1-0 after the first for VetiVa. Neither team could find the back of the net in the 2nd even with special teams while the penalty parade continued. Midway in the 3rd, it was Jason Yip once again on the power play as his point found the back of the net past a screened Phillips with Tam once again on his doorstep. RBC put on a big push in the last few minutes, but Sellars stood tall stopping a few great chances in the dying minutes to keep the shutout and book a date with Young Guns in the Championship final. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 27 shots, while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) received 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) 2. Jason Yip (VetiVa) 3.

All 3 games this season between these 2 teams have been close. Although 65% of the zone time was in the VetiVa end, they were able to keep the speedy Young Gun forwards to the outside, and when they couldn’t, Nicholas Sellars was there to bail them out. Equally on the other end, Cameron Chiu was able to turn aside the shots. It wasn’t until 2 minutes into the 3rd period did Vetiva finally score on a beautiful play as Justin Kuok won the buck back to Rob Chiu in the right corner and he found Josh Steinhaus alone in front of the net to tap it by Chiu on the far side. 1-0 VetiVa. But just 2 minutes later, Young Guns Yaann Yuen replied after sustained pressure and several shots, she picked up Daniel Pang’s rebound and waited until Sellars went down before roofing it past to tie the game at 1. Overtime solved nothing, and in the shootout, the first 2 shooters on each side were stopped, but Rob Chiu scored the 3rd VetiVa shot by firing a quick one thru Chiu’s 5-hole. A save would give VetiVa the win, but Calix Ma lasered a shot low glove to keep the shootout going. After changing order, YG’s next 2 shots were stopped by Sellars, and on VetiVa’s 5th attempt, Jason Yip fired it far side blocker side to win the game. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 27 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jason Yip (VetiVa) 2. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) 3. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) Quads across the board! Unicorns were looking to bounce back from last week, welcoming back Alvin Sham and Andrew Rueger to the lineup, while RBC was missing top goalie Grant Phillips. However, the start of the game looked like the Unicorns from last week as RBC looked to run them out of the rink. Just 49 seconds in, Mark Pavey opened with an unassisted goal, 3 minutes later, Scott Strickland finished a 2-on-1 down low, and a few minutes after that, Bruce Hicks scored in a similar fashion as Unicorns D were nowhere to be found. 3-0 after 8:20. Near the end of the first, Alvin Sham scored his first of the night, followed by Sean Tong who finished a drop pass from Chris Lam who then put it into the open net with just 6 seconds remaining in the first. 3-2 RBC. RBC quickly recovered from the momentary lapse at the end of the first as Strickland scored his 2nd of the night after receiving a nice pass from Shane Weir just 30 seconds into the period. A minute later, Andrew Rueger opened his account with a slapshot crossbar and in to keep it within 1. RBC replied with 2 more goals from Bruce Hicks almost identical as he parked in front of the net and had multiple attempts at the rebound until he was able to pound it by Arthur Chan. 6-3 RBC. But then Alvin Sham scored his 2nd, followed shortly by Rueger with his 2nd as he converted a nice pass from Sean Tong. 6-5 at the end of 2 periods. Unicorns started the 3rd on the penalty kill, but it was Sham off the faceoff as he walked in past two D and scored a short-handed goal for his own hat trick and tie the game at 6. 3 minutes later, Rueger also got his hattrick after scoring in the high slot after receiving a great pass from the corner from Dominic Ng. 7-6, Unicorns first lead of the game. Rueger then converted a powerplay opportunity for Unicorns midway thru the 3rd getting his 4th goal of the night, before Sham did the same shortly after to make it 9-6. With 3 minutes left, Bruce Hicks also converted another opportunity at the top of the crease for his own 4 goal game, but there were no more goals for RBC to come back as Unicorns come from behind to win 9-7. This game makes SCIHL history as the first game where 3 different players scored 4 goals while it was a night to forget for both goalies. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 31 shots, while Carson Leung (RBC LPP) faced 29 shots against. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) 2. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) 3. Bruce Hicks (RBC Lions) AsiaXpat found another gear in the 2nd to pull away from JOG This game between JOG Sportswear and AsiaXpat started off even as Jason Wong scored as he defected a point shot in the low slot past Ken Lam’s (JOG LPP) 5 hole to open the scoring. A few minutes later, Donald Chow sped down the left wing and fired a shot from the left faceoff dot between Martin Jim’s glove and pad to tie the game at 1. But the 2nd period was quite different as AsiaXpat controlled the period and created numerous offensive chances and breakaways. First it was Theo Wong carrying the puck down the middle, fighting thru 2 defenseman, drawing a delayed penalty call, but scoring with a shot blocker side to make it 2-1. A few minutes later, David Finifter blocked a JOG pass from the point and sped down from his own blueline on a breakaway and scored stick side with a shot to make it 3-1. Then with 5 minutes to go in the 2nd, Theo Wong picks up the puck after a broken play and skates in on the right wing and fires another past Lam’s blocker side to make it 4-1 and 3 unanswered goals for Xpat in the 2nd period. Justin Wong got into the action in the 3rd as he finished a play between Theo Wong and Allan Yee by deking by the defense and putting one top corner glove side thru a screen, before Donald Chow responded with his own on the powerplay, followed by Art Tam (JOG LPP) chipping a rebound in, just 2 minutes later to make it 5-3 and a glimmer of hope for JOG. JOG continued to press but as time wound down, Jason Wong scored his 2nd of the night as he tipped it past Lam after a fanned point shot from Finifter found Wong on the left side of the net with just 27 seconds remaining in the 3rd and putting the game to bed. However, on the ensuing faceoff, Theo Wong skated the puck down the left wing, cut around the defense, and as he skated past the goal, opened up Lam and placed it 5 hole with 4 seconds on the clock for his hattrick and to round out the scoring. 7-3 final for AsiaXpat. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 16 shots against, while Ken Lam (JOG LPP) received 23 shots against. Three Stars of the game: 1. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Jason Wong (AsiaXpat) 3.

Division 3 Scoreboard - Week 14
February 28th, 2025 AsiaXpat wins critical game over short-handed Unicorns to secure playoff spot A must-win game between Unicorns and AsiaXpat this week. An Xpat win would secure their playoff spot, while a Unicorns win would drive the race to the last game of the season. However, it did not start well for the Unicorns, as both of their top players, Alvin Sham and Andrew Rueger were unable to dress. Missing these key players really showed as Xpat could sense it and went in for the kill. Xpat controlled the play from the start and after 4 minutes scored their first from the league's leading scorer, Theo Wong. This was followed closely by a 2nd by Wong Cheung just over a minute later, after getting a great pass from David Finifter. Unicorns Tracy Wong did all she could to pull one back in the next shift to keep it close at 2-1, but in the last few minutes, while the Unicorns powerplay had a chance to even the score, AsiaXpat blew it open with two short-handed goals. The first from Jerry Tian (scoring in consecutive games) after being fed by Finifter, and the 2nd from Gavino Ng just a minute later to give Xpat a 4-1 lead after the first. The second period continued like the first as Xpat dominated zone time while keeping any Unicorns shots well to the outside. However, the only goal of the period was from Theo Wong with his 2nd after a nice feed by Justin Wong to free him. 5-1 after 2 periods. The third period was more of the same, and Xpat played a bit more defensively with a 4-goal cushion. Chris Lam was able to get one back for Unicorns off a play with Nathan Chow and John Wade, but no further goals, AsiaXpat secures their spot. Grant Phillips (Unicorns-LPP) faced 30 shots, while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 16 shots against. Three Stars of the game: 1. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. David Finifter (AsiaXpat) 3. Tracy Wong (Unicorns) A spirited game between JOG and VetiVa provides a worthy game for the final playoff spot This was a critical game for both VetiVa and JOG. A win for VetiVa would mean making the playoffs as their remaining game is against Young Guns where they’ve not had much luck all season, and for JOG, they needed to win to avoid elimination. And the game play reflected the importance as both teams were playing tight defensively. It wasn’t until the last 5 minutes of the first period, did JOG break the ice with an unassuming play after a Donald Chow shot that deflected into the corner which landed on the stick of Alan Lui off to the right of the net near the goal line. He tried to fire it back in front of the net, but the puck deflected off a VetiVa stick and into the air, only to land behind Cameron Chiu (VetiVa LPP) and into the net. 1-0 JOG after the first. Just 20 seconds into the 2nd period, VetiVa equalized after Art Tam centered a pass from behind the net to Paul Chai in the slot who ripped on glove side top corner on Jerry Tian (JOG LPP) to tie the game. VetiVa started to show more momentum after that goal and although swarmed the JOG zone, could not get it by Tian. Then against the run of play, Hugo Fan wins the puck in the VetiVa corner and puts a beautiful pass to Jimmy Thai wide open on the left faceoff dot, who then puts a perfect short side over the pad and under the blocker to regain the lead for JOG. 2-1 after 2 periods. 4 minutes into the 3rd period, Tam passed to Justin Kuok on the point who then ripped a slapshot past Tian to tie the game again. As time was running down in the 3rd period, VetiVa during another powerplay, Kuok scored his 2nd of the night as he picked off a pass, skated in, and fired one against the grain past Tian to give VetiVa their first lead with just over 4 minutes remaining. In desperation, JOG pulled the goalie with 2 minutes to go, and Hugo Fan lasers a shot from the left-wing glove side top corner to tie the game! Overtime resolved nothing and into the shootout we went. Chai had the first attempt, and he put it off the post and in. Chiu and Tian then shut the door on the remaining shooters giving VetiVa the shootout win and securing their place in the playoffs. Jerry Tian (JOG LPP) faced 18 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (VetiVa LPP) received 22 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Paul Chai (VetiVa) 2. Cameron Chiu (VetiVa LPP) 3. Jerry Tian (JOG Sportswear LPP) Potential playoff preview between Young Guns and RBC This game was more of an exhibition game as both teams were missing key players. RBC was missing Leon Mo, Mark Pavey, and Gary Lawrence, while Young Guns were missing their entire first line of Calix Ma, Yaann Yuen, Izzac Chan, Eric Pang, and Luca Loi-Faita. Having said that, this was still an entertaining game as both teams went on the attack. Only 1 goal in the first period, as Andre Chan and Nate Brocklehurst (YG LPP) went on a rare 2 on 1, Andre passes from the right side to Nate as he waited for Grant Phillips to slide across before shooting over him to make it 1-0 after 1. Early in the 2nd, Bruce Hicks finished a play from Shane Weir with a slick backhand thru Cameron Chiu’s pads, that just makes it past the goal line to tie it at 1. It wasn’t until half way in the 2nd, that Brocklehurst found Art Tam (YG LPP) on a 2 on 1, as Tam made no mistake and found the top corner blocker side on Phillips to give Young Guns a 2-1 lead after 2 periods. Early in the 3rd, Tam wins a puck behind the net and frees it out to the left side of the net where Christopher Lee pulls it out in front of the goal line and finds a hole short side past Phillips to make it 3-1. Midway in the 3rd, Danny Chiu puts in a rebound after a mad scramble in front of the RBC goal to give the Guns a 4-1 buffer. On the next play, Jasper Chow intercepts an errant Young Guns defensive pass up the middle from their own corner and walks into shot, past Chiu, post and in to give RBC some hope with 7 minutes remaining. However, Chiu shut the door and 4-2 was the final for Young Guns. Grant Phillips (RBC) faced 19 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 26 shots against. Three Stars of the game: 1. Christopher Lee (Young Guns) 2. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) 3.

Division 3 Scoreboard - Week 13
February 28th, 2025 VetiVa hangs on to win a key game over Unicorns to give playoff chances a major boost This was a key game for both teams to make the playoffs as both teams have struggled this season to win in regulation. It started well for VetiVa when Art Tam fed Jason Yip pinching down the left side, who skates in and shoots far corner over the pad of Arthur Chan to make it 1-0. Next play, Tracy Wong springs Alvin Sham to come down the right side, cuts past the defence and across the crease to slot it 5-hole on Nick Sellars to tie the game. On an ensuing play, VetiVa almost regains the lead as a scramble had Chan doing a snow angel to make a sprawling save and robbing Paul Chai of an empty net goal. Later in the period, Sham does the same move but just mirrored from the other side. Again, opening up Sellars to go 5-hole to give Unicorns a 2-1 lead. And with 10 seconds remaining in the period, Unicorns Andrew Rueger beats out and icing call, circles out and fires the puck off Sellars and in to make it 3-1 to close the first. Early in the 2nd, a missed assignment from VetiVa leaves Sean Tong open in front as Sham makes a nice pass from behind the net to score and make it 4-1 Unicorns. Mid-way in the period, Jason Yip’s hot from the point hits a body in front and bounces kindly to Rob Chiu on the side to put into the empty side, 4-2. Tam then frees Leon Mo (VetiVa LPP) down the left side copying the move from Sham to make it 4-3. Mo then does a similar move from the right side after intercepting an errant Unicorns pass to tie the game at 4 after 2 periods. 40 seconds into the 3rd period, Mo passes from the left to a streaking Robbie Lee who fires a laser over the pad and under the glove of Chan to make it 5-4 and regain the lead for VetiVa. A couple minutes later, Rob Chiu cycles across top of circle to the left side, fires the puck across the crease as Lee bounds it over the line for his 2nd of the night, 6-4 VetiVa haf-way in the 3rd, Sham wins a 50/50 puck at the blue line, dekes past 3 VetiVa players and the goalie to make it 6-5. Unicorns pull Chan in the last couple minutes to try and tie, but several key saves in close by Sellars on a few glorious chances protected the lead until the puck was finally cleared for Mo to skate down and put into the empty net. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 22 shots, while Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 27. Three Stars of the game: 1. Robbie Lee (VetiVa) 2. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) 3. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) Special teams dominate this game as RBC hold off AsiaXpat AsiaXpat entered the game needing a win, while RBC was already secure in their playoff spot. It was AsiaXpat first off the mark as Jerry Tian finished a nice pass from Theo Wong less than a minute in to make it 1-0 for the early lead. Not much else happened in a tightly played first period. Early in the 2nd, Jackie Chan was setup by Leon Mo with a nice pass to the side of the net where he made no mistake to tie the game at 1. RBC then took a penalty, and in the rush to try and tie the game by AsiaXpat, they allowed 2 short-handed goals by RBC, first by Robert Chiu (RBC LPP) on an unassisted effort, then by Ryan Lee after getting a nice pass from Matt Ng giving RBC a 3-1 lead after 2 periods. Thinking taking penalties was the answer, RBC once again went short handed as Jackie Chan scored another short-handed goal to make it 4-1 before Xpat's Justin Wong replied on the same powerplay to keep it a 2-goal difference. Theo Wong scored with 4 minutes left to make the last few minutes interesting, but Xpat could not find the tying goal to take it into extra time. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 19 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (RBC LPP) received 17 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jackie Chan (RBC Lions) 2. Leon Mo (RBC Lions) 3. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) Young Guns powerplay makes JOG pay after playing with fire in the second JOG kept their playoff hopes alive last week with a win but were facing top team Young Guns. Luckily for JOG, both AsiaXpat and Unicorns lost in regulation so even with a loss, they were still in the playoff race, while a win would put them in a great spot. JOG played very well against Young Guns in the first, with chances on both sides, but both Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) and Jerry Tian (JOG LPP) were looking sharp, and rebounds were cleared quickly by their respective defense. It wasn’t until midway in the 2nd, did the first goal come for JOG on the penalty kill, as Donad Chow intercepted a pass and skated down with a backhand, forehand, deke past Chiu to make it 1-0 with a short-handed goal. JOG must have been watching the RBC game and thought it was a good idea to keep going on the penalty kill. However, they over did it as a series of penalties including a delay of game call put JOG down 5 on 3 for a couple times. Young Guns made them pay, first with a powerplay goal from Yaann Yuen as she received a cross-ice pass from Ryan Lee (YG LPP) to tie at 1, then a mad scramble with five seconds left on the penalty allowed Danny Chiu to pike it in to give Young Guns the lead. On the ensuing faceoff, Nate Brocklehurst intercepts a JOG breakout, skates to the left side, goes around the JOG defence, then cuts across the Tian to puts it into the empty side. 3-1 after 2 periods. In the 3rd, Felix Lloren had an unassisted goal to round out the scoring as JOG was unable to muster too many chances in the 3rd against the top team. Jerry Tian (JOG LPP) faced 23 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 12 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Yaann Yuen (Young Guns) 2. Jerry Tian (JOG Sportswear LPP) 3.

Division 3 Scoreboard - Week 12
February 21st, 2025 RBC takes VetiVa back to school with a 7-1 blowout An important game for VetiVa to gain some breathing room on the rest of the teams as RBC had already secured their playoff spot last week. The game started with great intent but a lot of sloppy plays by VetiVa meant RBC had a lot of chances, but it took almost 10 minutes before RBC broke thru after a Face off win a quick shot by Gary Lawrence found the short side for the first goal. Two minutes later after a Scramble the puck slipped out and Jasper Chow, pinching in from the point, poked it in. 2-0 after 1st period. More of the same in the second. Ryan Lee fires a shot from the point that eludes a screened Nick Sellars. And David Finifter (RBC LPP) also got in the act to make it 4-0 to close the 2nd. Down 4-0 VetiVa tried to press for a comeback, but it wasn’t to be. It didn’t take long for RBC to continue their romp in the 3rd period. Just 3 minutes in, Bonnie Lui scored her 2nd of the game off a Leon Mo pass to make it 5-0. A minute later, another 2 on 1 for RBC after Matt Ng chips it out past the D and passes across to Jackie Chan who's shot missed, but the shot bounced off the back boards for Matt who stopped in front of the net to finish making it 6-0. The only thing left was whether VetiVa could spoil Phillips’ shutout bid, and just 4 minutes later as RBC's defense continued to score more goals, Paul Chai was able to chip a puck out to a streaking Stephen Levac for a breakaway which he was able to convert. The only bright spot for VetiVa on the night. In fact, they were so eager for this game to end that Jasper Chow scored his second of the night with a second left as VetiVa shut down before the final whistle. Grant Phillips (RBC) faced 25 shots, while Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 29 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Matt Ng (RBC Lions) 2. Jasper Chow (RBC Lions) 3. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) AsiaXpat puts pressure on Young Guns, but they dig deep and come back for the win Top seed Young Guns against AsiaXpat hoping to get some points to stay in the playoff race. Xpat is the only team with the lowest GF/GA difference of the bottom 4 teams. Xpat was also welcoming back for Gavino Ng who was out for the past 7 games with an upper-body injury. However, it didn’t start well for Xpats. Just a minute in, Yaann Yuen makes a nice pass to Andre on a 2-on-1. Martin Jim makes a great initial save but Yaann puts in the rebound 1- 0. 2 minutes later that combination strikes again, this time Andre finishing the rebound to make it 2-0. In reply, Xpat’s David Finifter puts it on net and gets By Cameron Chiu to make 2-1. But on the next faceoff, Luca Loi-Faita provides an instant response as he skates it in the slot and lasers it off the post and in to regain the 2-goal lead. A couple minutes later, it was Andre again with a shot going in 1 on 1, the puck Lodges in the 5-hole and squeaks in over the line. 4-1. Young guns were looking to run away with this one until Xpat’s Howard Chin one times a sweet pass from Finifter on the left side to claw it back to 4-2 after the first period. Not sure what Xpat GM Allan Yee did to spark the team, but they came out flying in the 2nd. First Theo Wong cycles around the net for a wraparound goal, followed by Justin Wong making moves off the right boards, dekes by everyone and roofs it short side top corner to tie it at 4. Then Finifter on the side to put home a rebound after an Allan Yee point shot bounced to the left. 5-4 Xpat for their first lead of the night. Towards the end Young Guns Yuen took a shot from left wing and Fabrizio Faita puts in the Rebound to tie it at 5 to end the 2nd. We had a new game. The 3rd period was much tighter until midway, Yuen had a nice breakaway from the blue line as she deked forehand backhand and into the net to give Young Guns the lead back and soon after, Andre Chan goes also gets a breakaway after a great pass from Izzac Chan and puts it top corner glove side for the hatty and a 7-5 lead just as they killed off an Xpat powerplay.

Three Stars of the game: 1. Yaann Yuen (Young Guns) 2. Andre Chan (Young Guns) 3. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) JOG keeps playoff hopes alive with in over Unicorns This was a critical game between JOG and Unicorns. A win by Unicorns could kill JOGs hopes for the playoffs, while a loss keeps everyone in the race. It started well for JOG as Yaann Yuen (JOG LPP) dekes past the defense, then chips it far side on Arthur Chan, 1-0 JOG. Midway in the period, Alvin Sham breaks past 2 defensemen and fires one past Martin Jim (JOG LPP) to tie it at 1. A few minutes later, a mad scramble in front of the JOG net, after Tracy Wong puts in front, finds Chris Lam in the right spot at the right time, as he slots it in to take the lead for Unicorns. But towards the end of the period JOG capitalizes on the power play as Corey Ng fires a backhand low slot that catches Chan going the other way to tie it at 2. In the second, the only goal came when Yuen and Hugo Fan had a two-on-one. Although Chan made the initial and subsequent rebound, Fan finally put it in after a number of repeated attempts as he was left alone and finally puts it by. 3-2 JOG after 2 periods. In the 3rd JOG got another power play goal when Anthony Luk goes end to end as he takes it deep into the right corner and cycles out across the crease and then waited for Chan to go down before roofing it past him to give JOG a 4-2 lead. Unicorns tried to pull closer by pulling the goalie with 3 minutes remaining, but Donald Chow intercepted a pass and fed Yuen for her second of the night into the empty net.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025.) RBC clinches playoff spot with a convincing 4-1 win over JOG Sportwear A bit of a different look for both teams for the first game after Chinese New Year. Both teams were missing their starting goalies and RBC had Cameron Chiu replacing Grant Phillips, while JOG had Jerry Tian replacing Stephanie Fok. RBC needed a win to secure their playoff berth while JOG needed to get some points to stay in the playoff race. RBC as usual took the play to JOG from the get-go, while JOG had trouble stringing passes together for an effective breakout. However, Tian was able to hold the fort on the initial RBC press until 5 minutes in when a massive scramble in front of the net found Donald Chow (JOG defense) lying across the crease preventing Tian to get across to the shot, as Jackie Chan put it in the open side to make it 1-0. Nothing Tian could do on that play. In the 2nd, RBC continued their pressure, and it took Scott Strickland what felt like 3-6 rebounds in front of the net to finally get the puck by Tian to make it 2-0. A few minutes later, a weird play from behind the RBC net resulted in the puck being deflected off a player and over Cameron Chiu, landing on his back and bouncing into the net for JOGs first, the goal credited to Alan Liu making it 2-1. But it only took 3 minutes later for Jackie Chan to score his 2nd of the game to restore RBC's 2 goal lead as he fired a loose puck past a screened Tian, who had full view of Bruce Hicks on top of the crease. In the 3rd, Jasper Chow scored a shorthanded goal to round out the scoring in a 4-1 win for RBC. The win secures a playoff spot for RBC, while the loss keeps JOG at the bottom of the standings 4 points out of a playoff spot. Cameron Chiu (RBC LPP) faced 19 shots, while Jerry Tian (JOG Sportswear LPP) faced 25 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jackie Chan (RBC Lions) 2. Jasper Chow (RBC Lions) 3. Scott Strickland (RBC Lions) Late powerplay goal gives Young Guns the win over Unicorns in a tight game. Young Guns entered the game already having secured their playoff spot and the only question was if they would maintain the top seed. Unicorns on the other hand entered the game in 5th spot and needed some points to stay in the playoff race. The game started out fairly even with chances being shared both directions and it wasn't until the first powerplay that Young Guns scored the first goal on a broken play but Andre Chan was able to find the puck first and put a sweet pass to the backdoor for a tap in by Nate Brocklehurst LPP to open the scoring 1-0. Less than 3 minutes later, Unicorns Rick Chu scored on their own powerplay with Chu’'s shot deflecting off a player and lobbing over everyone into the top corner to tie the game 1-1. 3 minutes later, Alvin Sham (fresh off the plan from the Asian Winter Games) gave a backhand pass to Chu in the slot which he then put stick side for his 2nd of the night and give the Unicorns a 2-1 lead. However, with just 30 seconds left in the period, Nate also scored his 2nd after deking past the defense and putting one by Martin Jim (Unicorns LPP) who was subbing in for Arthur Chan who was at the game, but out with an undisclosed lower-body injury. 2-2 after the first. In the 2nd, the only goal came after Tracy Wong intercepted a Young Guns pass in the defensive zone and passed to a streaking Sham for a breakaway who fired his patented slapshot past Cameron Chiu to give Unicorns a 3-2 lead after 2 periods. This game was great for the fans as there were chances going both ways, with both goalies playing well. In the 3rd, it was Danny Chiu who deflected a shot past Jim to tie the game 6 minutes into the period. After more pressure by Young Guns forcing a penalty, Luca Loi-Faita's point shot went past a number of players and past a screened Jim to regain the lead for Young Guns with 6 minutes left. Unicorns tried to press and with a couple minutes left, pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, only for Yaann Yuen to put it into the empty net with 30 seconds remaining securing the win. The loss keeps the Unicorns in 5th spot, 2 points of out a playoff spot. Martin Jim (Unicorns LPP) faced 18 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 14 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Luca Loi-Faita (Young Guns) 2. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) 3. Rick Chu (Unicorns) Team defense for Vetiva stops potent AsiaXpat offense AsiaXpat entered the game in 3rd spot 1 point above VetiVa in the standings who were tied for 4th with the Unicorns. The teams have split the series so far 1-1 with this being potentially a key tie breaker game. This game was a very closely played defensive game as both teams clogged up the middle and were able to limit scoring chances throughout the game. It wasn't until the last 2 minutes that VetiVa opened the scoring from a nice pass across the crease by Rob Chiu to find Paul Chai at full stretch to guide the puck into the open net. 1-0 Vetiva after the first. Early in the 2nd, Chai and Chiu pressed the Xpat defense and after winning a turnover was able to put the puck on net with Josh Steinhaus screening. Martin Jim was able to stop the initial shot, but Steinhaus was able to bang home the rebound to give Vetiva a 2-0 lead. It took another 10 minutes before AsiaXpat was able to notch their first goal as Howard Chun fires a laser from the high slot off the post and in using the defense as a screen cutting the lead in half. But VetiVa responded just a minute later as Justin Kuok sprang Chai for a breakaway as he made no mistake putting it 5 hole to regain the 2-goal lead. While AsiaXpat pressed hard in the 3rd, there was no further scoring. VetiVa winning this key game 3-1. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 22 shots against, while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 28 shots. With the win, VetiVa with 11 points leapfrogs AsiaXpat with 10 points into 3rd place, while Unicorns (9 points) and JOG (7 points) are in 5th and 6th spots. With just 4 points separating the bottom 4 teams, this is shaping out to be another race to the wire with 4 games left before playoffs. Three Stars of the game: 1. Paul Chai (VetiVa) 2.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025.) AsiaXpat started fast and never let up AsiaXpat entered this game 1 point up on JOG Sportswear with 6 games remaining in the regular season. JOG recently gained points in the playoff race by beating VetiVa last week and climbing right back into the thick of things, so 2 more important points were in play. However, it was not going to be a good day for JOG. On the first rush, Theo Wong moved past the JOG defense to shoot from the right faceoff dot which beat Carson Leung (JOG LPP) clean on the blocker side to open the scoring. On the next faceoff, Xpat’s big guns swarmed the net and almost scored from the scrum with the puck just sitting on the goal line. Shortly after, Justin Wong doubled up from a Theo Wong pass as he fired it short side. 2-0. Halfway thru the first, David Finifter bangs in a rebound after a Jerry Tian shot from the slot. 3-0 after the 1st period. The pressure continued in the 2nd, as everyone was looking to the right, Finifter cut behind the D from the right side for a breakaway that Leung stopped, but Jason Wong was there to poke the loose puck in to make it 4-0. 4 minutes later, an errant centering pass in front from behind Xpat’s net leads to a 1 on 2 break as Theo beats the defense and cut across the front of net to score on the open side. 5-0. This is followed by Finifter taking a pass from the middle of blueline, walking in 3 steps, and then wired it top corner glove for his 2nd of the night. 6-0, and they weren’t finished. On the next shift, Justin Wong took it to the left corner and tried centering to Theo Wong in the slot, but as he was tied up, the puck found its way to the other side where Felix Lee was there to one-time the puck past Leung for his first of the season. Theo completed his hat trick with 4 seconds remaining in the 2nd to close out the second period 8-0. In the 3rd, Xpat sat back a bit and on the powerplay, JOG was able to break Martin Jim’s shutout bid with a powerplay goal as Alex Ng put in a rebound after his dad, ET Ng, took the initial shot to complete the scoring. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 12 shots on a light workday, while Carson Leung (JOG Sportswear LPP) faced 31 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. David Finifter (AsiaXpat) Young Guns come from behind to stun VetiVa in overtime VetiVa looked to be in tough against top-ranked Young Guns this week. VetiVa needs every point they can get to stay in the playoff race while Young Guns have a nice cushion at the top. It took almost half a period before anyone could convert. This was not to say there weren’t any chances, though. Young Guns had numerous chances but were either stopped by Nicholas Sellars or Sellars' best friend his post! It was Ray Tang to open the scoring for VetiVa after a nice three-way play from Art Tam to Jason Yip, and down to Ray Tang on goal line who then slid out and put it thru the 5 hole. Just a couple minutes later, Danny Chiu tied it when he banged home the rebound off an Eric Pang shot to the net. Late in the period, Art Tam pounced on a Paul Chai rebound and fired it past a screened Cameron Chiu. 2-1 for VetiVa after 1 period. Not long into the 2nd period, it was Chiu again, right place at the right time as he found the loose puck behind Sellars and helped it past the line to tie the game once again. VetiVa was throwing everything at the net and it worked! First Robert Chiu continued his scoring streak when he poked in another rebound, followed by Josh Steinhaus tipping in a pass from Jimmy Lee to make it 4-2. But before the end of the period, it was Chiu once again, this time a hard snapshot in the low circle thru the 5-hole to complete his hat-trick. 4-3 after 2 periods. It was looking like VetiVa might be able to hold out but with just under 5 minutes to go, a failed clearance turned into a powerplay for Young Guns. Luca Loi-Faita making no mistake with a wrister from the point past a number of bodies and the screened Sellars to tie the game 4-4. With 1:26 left in the period, after another failed breakout from VetiVa, Yaann Yuen roofed the puck short side top corner to give Young Guns their first lead in the game 5-4. On the ensuing faceoff, VetiVa pulled their goalie, and just 20 seconds later, Art Tam poked in the tying goal after Jason Yip was able to pound the puck thru Cameron’s pads to tie the game at 5. In overtime, Young Guns pressure thru the most of overtime ultimately forced a penalty and on the ensuing powerplay, Luca Loi-Faita was able to score top corner glove side with only 7 seconds remaining in overtime to complete the comeback. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 22 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) received 19 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Luca Loi-Faita (Young Guns) 2. Danny Chiu (Young Guns) 3. Arthur Tam (VetiVa) RBC gets past Unicorns with some timely saves and a solid team defense RBC has been one of the top-scoring teams so far this season, while the Unicorns have been one of the better team defenses. Which storyline were we going to see tonight? It only took 18 seconds for RBC to capitalize on their first powerplay as Scott Strickland made a great pass up the middle to a streaking Warren Ang who walked in on goal and deked past Arthur Chan for the first goal. Midway in the period, Andrew Rueger responded for Unicorns to tie the game, after receiving a breakout pass for a breakaway from the far blueline and blistering a shot past Nick Sellars' (RBC LPP) glove into the top corner to tie the game. This was short-lived though as on the ensuing faceoff, Arthur Tam skated the puck into the zone, behind the net, and then fed a wide-open Ang in front of the net to one time it far side past Chan for his 2nd of the night and restoring RBC’s 1 goal lead to close out the first period. In the 2nd, Unicorns got into penalty trouble midway in the period as RBC ended up with a 5 on 3. Scott Strickland scored on the powerplay to make it 3-1. Unicorns fought off the remaining 2 man advantage, but Ang completed his hattrick with just 4 seconds remaining in the period as he put in another scramble in front of Chan. 4-1 RBC after 2 periods. The third period continued with RBC outshooting Unicorns 12-4, with Leon Mo and Bruce Hicks scoring for RBC, and the only reply from Unicorns being Rick Chu on the powerplay as he skated wide past RBC’s D on the right and did a power move into the middle to chip it by Sellars on the far post. Although the shots against RBC were low, Sellars had some amazing savings stopping one-timers from Andrew Rueger and Tracy Wong to help RBC maintain their lead midway in the 2nd, otherwise the game might have looked very different. Nicholas Sellars (RBC LPP) faced 12 shots, while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 28 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Warren Ang (RBC Lions) 2. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) 3.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025.) Young Guns overcome RBC during the shootout in the battle for top spot This was expected to be a tight game, and we didn’t get disappointed. Young Guns pressed hard to start the game and their first goal on a 2-1 courtesy of a nice pass from Jason Yip (LPP) as Calix Ma fired a shot from the top of the dot and caught Phillips sleeping as the puck found the top corner. Shortly after, Andre Chan fed a pass right in the slot, and Calix gently re-directly the puck under Phillips who seemed to be sleeping so far in the game and still recovering from the effects of the long holiday break and a cold. RBC finally replied with another Scott Strickland goal, followed by Bonnie Lui early in the second to draw even. And shortly after, Matt Ng, scoring his first of the year, as he came down on the right side on a 2-1. The D had the forward tied up but Matt picked the top corner with a snipers goal as he caught Cameron Chiu cheating as he went down in the hybrid - making it 3-2 for RBC 1/2 way in the 3rd period. RBC thought they had the insurance goal when Bruce Hicks had a beauty kick goal but that was quickly waved off by the refs. Going down the wire, Young Guns laid it on as RBC was put on the ropes. Phillips stopped a barrage of shots and with 20 seconds left, RBC should have called a timeout to regroup and put the right people on the ice, but instead, we went with the flow. Another scramble occurred in front of the net. A fanned clearing attempt put the puck on Andre Chan's stick and he fired one at the net, which deflected off Fabrizio Faita and right to Calix standing all alone by the side as he calmly fired a shot over Phillips who had no chance tying the game with 12 seconds remaining and completing his hattrick. In overtime - although there were crazy chances for both teams, nothing was resolved, and in the shootout, Yaann Yuen scored the only goal after avoiding the Phillips poke check, while Cameron Chiu stopped all 3 RBC shooters (Strickland, Chan, and Mo) to give Young Guns a come from behind win to start 2025 while RBC will be looking at the game that got away. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 33 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 2. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) 3. Grant Phillips (RBC) JOG holds off VetiVa to climb back in the playoff race This was a key 4-point game for JOG as both teams were close in the race for the final 2 playoff spots. Midway in the first, Ray Tang (VetiVa) had a beautiful chance on the breakaway to open the scoring only to be stopped by Martin Jim (JOG LPP) as he closed the 5 hole to take it away. A few minutes later during a VetiVa powerplay, Stephen Levac, went end to end as he cut in the center and fired top corner glove to give VetiVa a 1-0 lead. 3 minutes later - Paul Kim was Johnny on the spot as a deflected puck bounced out of the corner and in front of the net as he beat Sellars to the loose puck first to pop it in the open net tying the game at 1. Very late in the first, Donald Chow curled out of the corner and fired a shot that Paul Kim deflected past Sellars to give JOG the lead with just 12 seconds remaining. The only goal in the 2nd goes to Justin Kuok as he stole the puck at center ice and skated down the right wing firing a laser blocker side past Jim to tie the game at 2. 4 minutes into the 3rd, Rob Chiu collected an inadvertent JOG pass in the high slot as he wired a slapshot top corner blocker side to give VetiVa a 3-2 lead. But shortly after, JOG gets 3 goals in a 5-minute span to respond and take the lead. First, Jimmy Thai backhanding one over a sprawled Sellars after receiving a pass from Corey Ng from behind the net, followed by Corey Ng putting in his own rebound after a cross-ice pass from Ernest Ng, and finally, Hugo Fan stealing the puck at his own blueline and going on a semi-break and going 5-hole on Sellars to give JOG a 5-3 lead with 5 minutes remaining. VetiVa pulled the goalie and Rob Chiu scored a late goal with a minute left, but too little too late as JOG held on for the win 5-4. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 22 shots against, while Martin Jim (JOG Sportswear LPP) received 19 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Paul Kim (JOG Sportswear) 2. Hugo Fan (JOG Sportswear) 3. Justin Kuok (VetiVa) Unicorns gets the extra point in the shootout over AsiaXpat Both teams are tight in the playoff race and entered the game tied in the standings. Not much separates the 2 teams this year, and this game was no different. Theo Wong continued his scoring streak getting his first on a solo effort with 5 minutes left in the first period. He followed this up early in the 2nd finishing a pass from Constant Au (Xpat LPP) before Dominic Ng responded for Unicorns, followed shortly by John Wade to tie the game. There was no further scoring and with the scored still tied, the teams went into a 14-player shootout! Rick Chu and Andrew Rueger started the scoring, before Theo Wong and Allan Yee were able to extend the shootout. The goalies then stopped the next 4 shooters before Nathan Chow finally scored with a deke to the backhand lifting it just over the glove of Martin Jim to give Unicorns the win and more importantly, the extra point in the standings. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 15 shots, while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 13 shots in a little over 2 periods of play. Three Stars of the game: 1. Nathan Chow (Unicorns) 2. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 3.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025.) Good bounces go VetiVa’s way past AsiaXpat for a 3-2 win Last time these teams met, AsiaXpat ran away with a convincing 6-2 win. Xpat were hoping for a continuation, while VetiVa were looking to stop Theo Wong from doing too much damage. The game started even until Justin Wong fired a one-timer past Grant Phillips (VetiVa LPP) after Theo Wong pulled all the D to the left of the net and slid a perfect pass to Justin to finish it off. They had a similar play later in the period, but David Finifter was unable to latch on to the centering pass or he would have also had a gapping net in front of him. In the 2nd, Xpat continued to try the same play, but instead of passing across, Wong dropped it in the slot where Constant Au made no mistake with the empty net to make it 2-0 Xpat. On the other end, VetiVa were generating good chances, but were being thwarted by Martin Jim, back after missing the last couple games. It wasn’t until late in the 2nd, that Rob Chiu fired another clapper after 2 Xpat defenders skated by him, that beat Jim blocker side to make it 2-1. VetiVa started the 3rd with a powerplay, and after many chances, Tracy Wong (LPP) fired bomb from the left point that Chiu was able to tip by Jim to tie the game. 2-2. Halfway thru the 3rd, Stephen Levac, broke up a play in his own end, and proceeded to skate hard up the right side, past the Xpat D and wired a shot far side to give VetiVa the lead. The last few minutes of the game was frantic as Xpat pulled their goalie and created a ton of good chances only to have Phillips holding the fort for a 3-2 VetiVa win. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 23 shots while Grant Phillips (VetiVa - LPP) faced 25 shots. With the win, VetiVa vaults over Xpat into 3rd spot, with only 3 points separating the bottom 4 teams. Three Stars of the game: 1. Robert Chiu (VetiVa) 2. Grant Phillips (VetiVa) 3. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) RBC withstands JOG’s early pressure to a 4-1 win Both teams were missing some key players this game. Would the replacements change the outcome? Last time RBC ran away with a 7-1 win. It looked very different this game as JOG was all over RBC and peppering them with shots and takeaways in the opening period. RBC looked slow to start the game and were on their heels. And thru the first a most of the 2nd period, this continued, however Grand Phillips was there to stop any opportunity JOG could muster. When JOG took an early penalty in the 2nd, Leon Mo made them pay with a end to end rush capped off with a shot thru the 5-hole of Stephanie Fok to take the lead. JOG continued to take the play to RBC only to be stopped by Phillips and near the end of the 2nd, Mo once again went end to end with a 5-hole finish to make it 2-0. At the start of the 3rd, Yaann Yuen (JOG LPP) finally was able to solve Phillips as she fired it top corner after stealing puck on the left side and cut into the middle. Unfortunately for JOG, RBC came back shortly as Rob Chiu (RBC LPP) cleaned up a rebound to regain a 2-goal lead. With 7 minutes left, Art Tam (RBC LPP) sprung Mo who had a break from left side, this time cutting across the net and out waited Fok to put into far side to complete his hattrick and round out the scoring. 4-1 win for RBC. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 28 shots against, while Stephanie Fok (JOG Sportswear) received 17 shots. RBC’s win put them temporarily tied for first ahead of the Young Guns game later that evening. Three Stars of the game: 1. Grant Phillips (RBC) 2. Leon Mo (RBC) 3. Bonnie Lui (RBC) Young Guns hold off Unicorns in another close game Unicorns and Young Guns were the last game before the holiday break. The Unicorns seem to give Young Guns trouble. Last game, Unicorns held Young Guns to 2 goals and were looking to do the same this time. And it started off well with Andrew Rueger opening the scoring with a snapshot from the blueline while surrounded by Young Gun players finding the left post and in. 1-0 Unicorns. Unicorns were all over Young Guns early in the game as on the ensuing play, they hit a cross bar, another post, and another post as they kept the kids hemmed in their own zone. Young Guns finally scored when the "Dad line" led by Danny Chiu replied as he deflected Andy Ma’s point shot past Arthur Chan to tie the game. Late in the period, Calix Ma fired one past Chan to take the lead. 2-1 Young Guns after 1. Mid way in the 2nd, Rueger scored his 2nd of the night from his rear, as he pops in the rebound after Sally Lau almost scored from a Dominic Ng pass. Yaann Yuen with a sweet goal, skating down the left side and scoring far side top corner close in to regain the lead. On the next shift, Danny Chiu doubles down with his 2nd of the night. 3 goals in a 1.5-minute span. Late in the 2nd, Unicorns capitalized on a powerplay as Leon Mo (Unicorns LPP) one timed a slapshot past Cameron Chiu from the lower right circle on a nice play with Nathan Chow and Tracy Wong to draw it back to 4-3 to close the 2nd. Early in the 3rd, Calix Ma scored his 2nd to give Young Guns some breathing room again, but shortly after, Rueger with an unassisted hattrick goal, as he wired one past Chiu. The teams exchanged chances for the remainder of the game, but there were no further goals. 5-4 final for Young Guns. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 33 shots, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 18 shots. With the win, Young Guns regain their position at the top of the standings, while JOG sits at the bottom just 1 point away from AsiaXpat and Unicorns. Three Stars of the game: 1.

Another big 3rd period for Young Guns as they continue to roll beating AsiaXpat Young Guns came into the game with a 3-game win streak, while AsiaXpat was looking to bounce back after playing RBC last week, the other team above them in the standings. But it didn’t start well, just 3 minutes in Eric Pang opened the scoring with an unassisted effort. It wasn’t until late in the 3rd, that Wong Cheung drove the puck deep into the corner, and then centered where Nathan Kellar was in the slot to bang home his first of the year to tie it up. However, it took just a couple minutes for Danny Chiu to regain the lead with a strong individual effort firing it just over the pad of Carson Leung (LPP). 2-1 after 1. The teams continued to play an open game exchanging chances, but the only goal came from Calix Ma as he poked it into the open net after a nice pass by Yaann Yuen from the corner. 3-1 after 2. But something changed in the 3rd. All those chances that didn’t go in earlier, were going in for both sides. First Andre Chan with 2 quick goals just 30 seconds apart, before Howard Chun wired one top shelf to finish a play from Justin Wong and Allen Yee. A few minutes later, Theo Wong scored his 18th of the season to make it 5-3. We had a game again. However, 5 minutes later, Calix Ma scored his 2nd of the night followed shortly by his dad Andy Ma just a minute later to put the game away. Theo Wong and Arry Leung exchanged goals in the last minute of the game to round out the scoring. Carson Leung (AsiaXpat - LPP) faced 28 shots while Stephanie Fok (Young Guns - LPP) faced 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Andre Chan (Young Guns) 2. Theo Wong (JOG Sportswear) 3. Danny Chiu (Young Guns) Overtime winner by Hugo Fan salvages a 2-1 win over Unicorns Unicorns entered this game on a 2-game losing streak and missing their top scorer Alvin Sham, while JOG was on a 4-game losing streak, their last win against… the Unicorns in a shootout. JOG took the play to Unicorns in the first period outshooting Unicorns 8-3. However, Arthur Chan (Unicorns) was up to the challenge keeping it scoreless as he turned aside multiple prime JOG opportunities. The Unicorns continued to play their defense first game plan and this continued in the 2nd until JOG took a too many men penalty. As Unicorns attacked, they gave up a short-handed goal to JOG captain Eugene Wong. As the period was coming to an end, JOG gave up a breakaway to Andrew Rueger who made no mistake and went bar down on Stephanie Fok to tie the game at 1. Right off the opening faceoff in the 3rd period, the puck was won back to the JOG defense, but both d-men miscommunicated and allowed Rueger to walk in for a breakaway blueline in, and converting to give Unicorns a 2-1 lead, this after only 6 shots all game. JOG finally got another goal as Jimmy Thai tipped in a point shot from the side of the net to once again tie the game. And we headed to overtime. In overtime, Hugo fan was freed by Alton Ho and went in alone to give JOG a long-awaited 2nd win. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 23 shots against, while Stephanie Fok (JOG Sportswear) received 10 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hugo Fan (JOG Sportswear) 2. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) 3. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) VetiVa squeak by undermanned RBC RBC looking to keep pace with Young Guns at the top of the league while VetiVa needing a win to stay in 5th spot after JOG won in regulation today. It started off well for VetiVa as they were able to score on their first chance, as Justin Kuok skated down the left boards and ripped a shot past Grant Phillips (RBC) just a minute into the game. Dream start for VetiVa. However, even with multiple powerplay opportunities, VetiVa was unable to build on the lead. It wasn’t for lack of great chances, but Phillips was there when it was needed. VetiVa had 5 or 6 great opportunities in the first and 2nd periods but was unable to get one by Phillips. Late in the 2nd, Ryan Lee circled the VetiVa zone and fired one towards the net that hit a defenseman’s glove and past a startled Marco Au (VetiVa LPP) to tie the game. RBC seemed to gain a lot of momentum from that goal as they then beat VetiVa to most of the loose pucks in the 3rd period and firing shots from everywhere but Au was up to the task. As this game seemed like it was going to go to extra time, Kuok fired a shot from the point which caught a screened Phillips off guard and went 5 hole as Phillips tried to find the puck. This proved to be the decider giving VetiVa a crucial win to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 14 shots, while Marco Au (VetiVa - LPP) faced 21 shots.

Young Guns came in tied for first, while JOG was sitting in 5th place just 1 point above VetiVa. However, the first 2 periods you wouldn’t know that. JOG played an excellent first 2 periods withstanding the nice passing and zone possession from Young Guns. Hugo Fan and Henrik Pang exchanged goals in the first, while Alan Lui and Jimmy Thai scored for JOG in the 2nd only allowing Andre Chan to score on a powerplay goal to lead the game 3-2 after 2 periods. This was not due to a lack of opportunities from Young Guns, but either JOG broke up the last pass, or Stephanie Fok made timely saves as Young Guns buzzed around the JOG zone most of the game. It was the veterans that led the comeback in the 3rd. An early marker from Danny Chiu tied the game, following goals from Luca Loi-Faita, Andy Ma gave Young Guns a 5-3 lead heading into the last 7 minutes. A powerplay with 2 min left gave JOG a chance to draw close, but instead of getting a powerplay goal, they gave up a shorthanded goal to Yaann Yuen that essentially sealed the game. Hugo Fan rounded out the scoring in the final 20 seconds, but the game goes to Young Guns. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 21 shots while Stephanie Fok (JOG) faced 28 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Daniel Pang (Young Guns) 2. Hugo Fan (JOG Sportswear) 3. Henrik Pang (Young Guns) Big 2nd period helps VetiVa overcome Unicorns VetiVa was looking for a win after only 1 win this season, while Unicorns have been playing 500 hockey of late. Jason Yip, playing on defense this week (as VetiVa continues to juggle their lines) opened the scoring with a blast from the blueline after a faceoff win as Arthur Chan found himself screened. Just a couple minutes later, Alvin Sham continued his scoring streak as he popped in a powerplay goal to tie the game at 1. The first period was back and forth but not a lot of clear chances for either team. In the 2nd, Rob Chiu scored another of his patented slap shots from the left circle this time over the far pad of Chan. This was followed by Stephan Levac’s shot from the point that deflected off a Unicorns defenseman and lobbed in by Chan for a 3-1 lead. Jimmy Lee then scored his 2nd of the season also from the left faceoff dot as it eluded Chan on the far post. 4-1 VetiVa lead after 2 - a new position for the team. VetiVa tempted fate by continuing to give the Unicorns powerplay opportunities and this one cost them, as Sham scored his second PP goal of the night by moving Nicholas Sellars and going 5-hole to make it 4-2 with lots of time left. But late in the game, Arthur Tam got the insurance VetiVa needed as Ray Tang did the hard work and set him up in the slot. Unicorns went 2 for 6 on the powerplay, but Sellars was there when needed. A much needed win for VetiVa as it moves them past JOG into 5th in the standings. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 18 shots against, while Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) received 13 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Stephen Levac (VetiVa) 2. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) 3. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) RBC Lions end AsiaXpat’s winning streak Top team and goalie vs hottest scorer in this match-up. RBC tied for first with Grant Phillips leading the goalie standings, and AsiaXpat with Theo Wong having scored 16 goals in the last 5 games. It was Jackie Chan of RBC to open the scoring after a nice passing play from Rob Chiu (LPP) an Arthur Tam (LPP) forming the 'old guy' line. A couple minutes later, this line scored again this time Tam from a centering pass from Leon Mo behind the net to make it 2-0. It looked like RBC was going to close the first with a 2-0 lead until the team looked like it thought the period was over, and allowed Theo Wong to walk in, deke the defense, and then score just over the pad and under the blocker with 28 seconds left to draw Xpat closer. In the 2nd, RBC continued to suppress Xpat's attacks and Scott Strickland and Shane Weir each scored to give RBC a 4-1 lead after 2. Stickland continued in the 3rd with a breakaway forehand backhand finish for his 2nd of the night and Robert Chiu scoring RBC’s 6th from a nice play from Tam and Chan. Juerg Fritschi rounded out the scoring late in the 3rd. RBC wins this matchup 6-2 keeping them tied for first in the league. Arthur Chan (AsiaXpat - LPP) faced 22 shots, while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 21 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) 2. Scott Strickland (RBC Lions) 3.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025). AsiaXpat picks apart VetiVa AsiaXpat looking to make it 3 wins in a row, while VetiVa was hoping to get a first win in regulation. Both teams started strong and this game was going at a quick pace. The teams exchanged chances early, but it was Justin Wong who opened the scoring with a wicked wrister from the high slot that found its way by 4 players and thru the wickets to give Xpat the early lead. Ray Tang from VetiVa broke loose and had a semi-break on the left side, beating Grant Phillips (LPP) only to find the post. Phillips stopped several chances as VetiVa controlled most of the first but couldn’t solve him until Justin Kuok snuck in from the point and fired it thru the 6 hole to tie the game at 1. In the 2nd, Theo Wong was johnny on the spot as a shot from the right side deflected off a leg and across the crease and land on his stick to give him an open net to regain the lead. While Xpat had a power play, Arthur Tam intercepted a pass in the Xpat zone and fired one off the post past Phillips to tie the game again. Theo Wong finished a nice play from Justin Wong and Howard Chun to give Xpat a 3-2 lead after 2 periods. So far this was a quick and entertaining game as both teams exchanged chances and only the goalies were keeping the score low. VetiVa continued to press to open the third and under pressure, Tam drew a tripping penalty giving VetiVa a chance to equalize. However, during the powerplay, Theo Wong picked off a D-to-D pass and scored a short-handed breakaway to give Xpat a 2-goal lead. The SH goal seemed to demoralize VetiVa and from there on. Wong could have had his 4th of the game, but as he shot into an empty net, Justin Wong went sliding thru the crease on his tummy just in time to block Theo’s shot. Play continued, and Xpat began controlling more of the play until Howard Chun taking it up the left side, deking by the defense, and scoring short side just over the pad to make it 5-2. Jason Wong rounded out the scoring soon after as Xpat ran VetiVa all around the zone and thru the scramble Jason put it in the open net. A promising start for VetiVa ended up creating more questions, while Xpat finally had other "Wong’s" and players scoring besides Theo. If they can continue to get the secondary scoring, they will be able to challenge the top 2 teams (RBC & Young Guns) in the standings. Grant Phillips (LPP - AsiaXpat) faced 24 shots while Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 25 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Howard Chun (AsiaXpat) RBC Lions dominate JOG Sportswear 2 teams going different directions. RBC Lions have so far been one of the best teams of the season while JOG have been struggling to win a game and was just above VetiVa in the standings from extra OT loss. The first period was a tight affair with both teams generating good chances and both teams had 8 shots on net, but it took a powerplay goal by Warren Ang to opening the scoring. 1-0 after 1. RBC seemed to find their legs more in the 2nd, or was it that JOG started looking tired, or was it the play of Bonnie Lui who had a massive game forechecking and giving JOG no time or space all game wearing them down. The momentum shifted to RBC as they doubled up on their chances and had 3 unanswered goals. First from Gary Lawarence, followed by 2 unassisted goals from David Finifter and Jackie Chan blowing the game wide open. 4-0 after 2 periods for RBC. This continued in the 3rd as Finifter scored is 2nd to make it 5-0 before captain Eugene Wong finished a play from Corey Ng and Jimmy Thai to spoil Grant Phillips shutout bid. But it was too little too late as Jackie Chan rounded out the scoring with 2 more goals to get his first 3 goals of the season and a hattrick. With the win, RBC stays on tied at the top of the standings with Young Guns, while JOG stays in 5th, 1 point above VetiVa. Carson Leung (JOG - LPP) faced 29 shots, while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) had a lighter workload with 18 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jackie Chan (RBC Lions) 2. Bonnie Lui (RBC Lions) 3. David Finifter (RBC Lions) Young Guns edge Unicorns in overtime Young Guns and Unicorns began the game tied with 6 points each in the middle of the pack. This game went pretty much to expectation with Young Guns taking the play to Unicorns who prefer the defensive shell strategy and waiting for opportunities to arise for a counterattack. Unicorns were able to keep the speedy Young Guns players around the outside and keeping a clean house giving Arthur Chan a better chance to stop any shots that came in. That strategy seemed to work as Chan stopped all 10 shots in the first while Unicorns were only able to get 4 shots towards Cameron Chiu. This script continued in the 2nd, and it wasn’t until 9 minutes in that Alvin Sham took advantage of a Young Guns turnover to skate up the left side and fire a slapshot past Cameron Chiu top corner to give Unicorns a 1-0 lead. Early in the 3rd, Calix Ma finally found a hole as he went short-side top corner on Chan to tie the game. No further scoring in the 3rd as we enter overtime. In OT, Unicorns went with Rick Chu, Alvin Sham, and John Wade against Young Guns Calix Ma, Yaann Yuen, and Izzac Chan. After gaining the zone, Unicorns lost the puck and Yuen skated down on a 2-on-1 with Calix Ma. Sham slid to prevent the pass, but Yuen found a hole as Ma made no mistake to one-time it past Chan for the winner 26 seconds into OT. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) had a spectacular game with 35 shots against, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) also had a good game facing 16. Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 2.

(This offer is valid until end of February 2025). Unicorns grind out a win over top-ranked RBC Lions Both teams have been solid in the early season and the game felt like a playoff game, as both teams played a tight-checking game. RBC took the play to Unicorns, but Unicorns looked happy to play their defensive game and respond on the counterattack. Scott Strickland opened the scoring for RBC, but Alvin Sham was able to respond to close out the 2nd, 1-1. Rick Chu continued his strong play scoring early in the 2nd, only for Strickland to bang home his 2nd of the night evening out the period again. Although RBC had more shots, Arthur Chan was able to hold the fort and keep the Unicorns in the game. A nice counterattack by the Unicorns saw Chu score his second from Tracy Wong and John Wade to give Unicorns a 3-2 lead with 9 minutes remaining. In the time, RBC tried desperately to get a tying goal, only to see saves from Chan, or blocks by Unicorn players, or clearings out of the crease in the nick of time. Unicorns weathered the late push from RBC to secure the win, putting them tied for 3rd with AsiaXpat after 4 games. Carson Leung (LPP - RBC Lions) faced 17 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 24 shots for the win. Three Stars of the game: 1. Rick Chu (Unicorns) 2. Scott Strickland (RBC Lions) 3. Tracy Wong (Unicorns) Young stars too much to handle for slow VetiVa team VetiVa was coming off their first win of the year, while Young Guns were looking to bounce back after losing a close game to RBC last week. However, VetiVa's confidence didn’t last long. In fact, first play of the game, Young Gun's Yaann Yuen skated right thru the entire VetiVa team and straight down main street deking out Nicholas Sellars with a forehand backhand move just 30 seconds in. VetiVa’s Jimmy Lee got his first of the year 5 minutes later before Young Guns' Christopher Lee replied unassisted to regain the lead. 2-1 after the first. Early in the 2nd, Ray Tang rounded the net and fired a hard shot that Cameron Chiu caught a bit of, but it trickled thru into the far side to tie the game at 2. That didn’t last long though as Young Gun's first line was running circles around VetiVa and forced the penalty. On the powerplay, Young Guns intercepted an attempted clearing and quickly passed down low to create a 2 on 1 with Yuen scoring post and in for her 2nd of the night. Andy Ma shortly made it 4-2 before Robert Chiu extended his 4-game goal streak with another blast from the left circle into the top corner to keep VetiVa in the game. Calix Ma and Josh Steinhaus exchanged goals late in the 2nd with Young Guns taking a 5-4 lead into the 3rd. Yuen completed her hattrick with a powerplay goal from the low slot, picking the top corner, glove side to extend lead to 6-4 before Chiu replied with a powerplay goal of his own to keep it interesting after poking in a deflected shot from the point that lobbed over everyone and landed in the crease. But with 2.5 minutes remaining, Calix Ma put the game away with his second of the night. VetiVa will need to go back to the drawing board to see how they can reduce the chances being given up if they want to increase their win total this season as they’ve been basically outplayed in every game so far. While Young Guns move back into a tie for first with RBC Lions. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 27 shots, while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 20 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Yaann Yuen (Young Guns) 2. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 3. Robert Chiu (VetiVa) AsiaXpat holds off JOG Sports for their 2nd win JOG has been playing some good hockey of late and were looking to bounce back from an overtime loss last week, while Xpat were looking on building on their win over the Unicorns. The first period was played closely until Anthony Luk skated down the right side and blasted a slapshot past Martin Jim for the first goal. 1-0 JOG after 1 period. Early in the 2nd, Theo Wong pickups a loose puck in his own zone and looked to race out for a breakaway only to trip up on the blueline. Although JOG was able to recover, Wong still walked around the defense and fired one thru Stephanie Fok to continue his hot streak and tie the game at 1. He quickly doubled up on the next shift after picking up the puck on the left wall and skated it past 2 defenders before deking out Fok for his 2nd. Not to be outdone, in the following shift, Hugo Fan goes end to end past 4 Xpat players and roofs it on Martin Jim to tie the game again. 3 minutes left in the 2nd, Wong retrieved a rebound from his own end, circled the net and scored as was allowed to cut across slot for his hattrick and a 3-2 lead. In the 3rd, the teams exchanged powerplay goals, first, Wong with his 4th from a nice give and go with Gavino Ng, followed by Jason Yip (LPP) putting in a rebound from 2 feet out. JOG pulled the goalie for the extra attacker with a minute left but was unable to equalize. Teams have yet to solve Theo Wong early this season as he has been unstoppable since the 2nd game, scoring 13 goals in 3 games accounting for 76% of AsiaXpat goals so far. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 14 shots while Stephanie Fok (JOG) faced 16 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) 3.

Division 3 Scoreboard - Week 3
November 8th, 2024 RBC Lions hang on to remain undefeated Both Young Guns and RBC Lions came into this game with an undefeated record, so this game was for the top of the early standings. RBC’s Ryan Lee opened the scoring 2 minutes in, scoring top corner glove side after his shot took a deflection off the defenders stick. Less than a minute after, Leon Mo walked thru the defense and scored his 2nd of the season to give RBC a 2-0 lead. It wasn’t till late in the first did Young Guns respond with Yaann Yuen setting up Calix Ma for his 4th of the year as Ma scored after going right to left and pulling Grant Phillips out of position before firing it past on the short side. The 2nd was tightly played by both teams, and it wasn’t until midway in the 3rd period when Warren Ang gave RBC the insurance 3-1 goal. Young Guns pressed the rest of the game but couldn’t solve Phillips until the last second as Danny Chiu rounded out the scoring, but it was too little too late as RBC beat Young Guns 3-2. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 19 shots while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 15 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) 2. Leon Mo (RBC Lions) 3. Yaann Yuen (Young Guns) Xpat's record their first win Unicorns entered the game as the top scoring team with Alvin Sham leading the scoring with 5 goals and AsiaXpat’s Theo Wong a close 2nd with 4 goals of his own, so this was going to be an interesting game with the 2 top scoring threats. It was Sham who tallied first 4 minutes in giving Unicorns the lead, until Justin Wong finished off a scrappy play from David Finifter to tie the game at 1. 5 minutes later, Theo Wong scored his first of the game as he shot from the high slot just against the grain just over the outstretched pad of Chan on the stick side. He followed this up a few minutes later with a short-handed goal to give Xpat a 3-1 lead to close the First period. Xpat added to their lead in the 2nd, Wong this time shooting from the top left circle and beating Chan with a perfectly placed shot into the top corner glove side, followed by David Finifter before Tracy Wong pulled one back for Unicorns with a short-handed goal. 5-2 Xpat after 2. Andrew Rueger opened the 3rd with a powerplay goal to make it a game again, but just a few minutes later, Wong scored his 4th and 5th of the night to pull away for good this time. 7-3 final for AsiaXpat's first win this season. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 18 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 21 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Tracy Wong (Unicorns) OT hero Rob Chiu secures VetiVa’s first win Both VetiVa and JOG have struggled to find goals early this season, so this looked to be a low scoring affair. Although both teams have struggled to put the puck in the net, it wasn’t due to lack of opportunities. Both teams came up with wonderful scoring chances only to be thwarted by excellent goaltending or a body part coming in the way. Both Stephanie Fok and Nicholas Sellars were tested but held the fort closed. As the game got heated, there were several penalties, but neither team could capitalize on the man advantage. Late in the 3rd, JOG thought they got the go-ahead goal only for it to be called back due to goaltender interference before the goal. As overtime was winding down, Rob Chiu rips a slapshot short side top corner from the left faceoff dot with 16 seconds left in OT to give VetiVa some relief and their first win of the season. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 13 shots to earn his first win and shutout in the SCIHL, while Stephanie Fok (JOG) faced 18 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Robert Chiu (VetiVa) 2.

Division 3 Scoreboard - Week 2
October 25th, 2024 Going the distance JOG Sportswear were looking for a bounce-back game after being shutout the week before by the Young Guns team, while Unicorns were looking to build on their convincing opening night win over VetiVa. In a very evenly played period, only Unicorns captain, David Lee, was able to score with 5 minutes remaining in the first. The 2nd period saw more offense as both teams found the net, first with Andrew Rueger for Unicorns before Paul Kim replied for JOG shortly after. Getting into penalty trouble, JOG was made to pay by birthday boy Alvin Sham continuing his scoring streak on the powerplay. 3-1 Unicorns before Hugo Fan scored unassisted, followed by Kim with his 2nd of the night to even the score 3-3 at the end of the 2nd. In the third, Sham also scored his 2nd of the night just 34 seconds into the period, followed a minute later by Rick Chu giving the insurance marker for Unicorns, 5-3. With the game looking to wind down with just over a minute left, Hugo Fan does an end-to-end rush, getting all the way into the slot before getting the puck knocked off his stick only to have Donald Chow follow up the loose puck and putting it top corner blocker side to get within 1. With the net empty - JOG poured the pressure on and was rewarded 30 seconds later as Paul Kim bangs a loose puck in past a sprawled Arthur Chan to tie the game up! 3 on 3 overtime was exciting as both teams took advantage of the no icing & no offsides rule and it was end to end, but both goalies stood up well forcing the first shootout this year. In the shootout, Andrew Rueger scored for Unicorns, but Anthony Luk & Donald Chow scored for JOG giving JOG the shootout come-from-behind win. Carson Leung (JOG-LPP) faced 18 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 22 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Donald Chow (JOG Sportswear) 2. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) 3. Paul Kim (JOG Sportswear) Finding Theo After opening the season missing their top scorer most of the game, AsiaXpat had a full-line up to start the 2nd game and hoping this would make a difference, while Young Guns are coming off a convincing shutout win last week over JOG. And it showed, Theo Wong only needed 32 seconds to open the scoring after a nice play from Justin Wong and Gavino Ng. Midway in the first, Young Guns Andre Chan was able to make AsiaXpat pay for a penalty with a powerplay goal to even up the score, followed shortly by Yaann Yuen also with her first of the year. While the Young Guns had more of the play in the 2nd, the 2 teams exchanged goals, Gavino Ng for Xpat and Jhonny Leung for Young Guns. 3-2 Young Guns after 2. The 3rd period was exciting as Theo Wong scored 2 goals in a 1.5-minute span to give Xpat the 4-3 lead only to see Andre Chan tie it up shortly after. After many opportunities on both sides, Calix Ma scored with 28 seconds left to give Young Guns a 5-4 lead at a critical time. As the crowd were writing Xpat off, Theo Wong got his 4th of the night tying the game 5-5 with just 10 seconds left and giving us the 2nd OT in as many games tonight. In overtime, Arry Leung (LPP) was able to put one by a screened Martin Jim to give Young Guns the victory and extend their win streak to 2 games. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 26 shots while Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) faced 21 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Andre Chan (Young Guns) 2. Theo Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Yaann Yuen (Young Guns) Opening season struggles RBC Lions were looking to join Young Guns to stay atop of the early season standings after an easy win last week over AsiaXpat, while VetiVa were exploring how they can do a better job on defense while creating some more offense after a lackluster opening game. RBC was seeing the debut of top winger Scott Strickland in the lineup after missing the opening game, while VetiVa also saw the debut of Stephen Levac. Both of whom did not disappoint tonight. It was Strickland who opened the scoring with about 5 minutes left in the first on an unassisted marker and as VetiVa eased up toward the end of the period, Leon Mo walked thru the defense right up the middle and deked out Nicholas Sellars with just 6 seconds left to double RBC’s lead after 1. Paul Chai got his 2nd of the year on the powerplay from a nice feed from Levac before Gary Lawrence responded on the next shift. A couple minutes later, Levac scored to pull VetiVa back within 1 against the run of play. 3-2 after 2 periods. In the 3rd, Lawrence scored his 2nd of the night to restore RBC's 2-goal lead, and while Robert Chiu was able to one-time a nice feed from Jason Yip in the slot beating Grant Phillips, RBC capped off the night with another shot from the point past a completed screened Sellars who had no chance as the puck sailed into the top corner past 5 bodies. VetiVa will need to go back to the drawing board after making several line changes over the game and see how they can give their goalie a better chance - first game facing a ton of breakaways, while 2nd game, creating a screen on him most of the night, while RBC stays at the top of the league with Young Guns. An overworked Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 26 shots while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 15 shots for the win. Three Stars of the game: 1. Gary Lawrence (RBC Lions) 2. Leon Mo (RBC Lions) 3.

Young Guns Live Up to their Name in 5-0 Win over JOG
October 18th, 2024 Father's vs Son's? In the 3rd game of the night, JOG Sportswear faced off against Young Guns Hockey Club. The Young Guns line up was made up of 4 father/son pairs, with a few being rookies to the SCIHL. The entire game was pretty evenly played with chances being traded on both ends of the ice. And it wasn’t until the end of the first period that Sherman Chan scored a tap in on the side after Christopher Lee put one off the arm of Stephanie Fok and Chan was in the right spot to the side of the net to make sure the puck was in the net. 1-0 Young Guns after 1. Calix Ma finished a nice pass from Danny Chiu and Yaann Yuen early in the 2nd to double the lead, as Young Guns pressed but were unable to increase the lead any further. The game continued to be closely fought until about 6 minutes left in the 3rd where Calix scored his 2nd of the night, again from Chiu putting up an insurance goal for Young Guns. As JOG pressed to try and get their first goal, it was instead Izzac Chan, and Danny Chiu scoring on back-to-back shifts with 2 minutes left to round out the scoring. 5-0 the final. Cameron Chiu in his first start in an adult league had an impressive 19 save shutout to open his campaign. Stephanie Fok (JOG) faced 23 shots while Camercon Chiu (Young Guns) faced 19 shots for the shutout. Three Stars of the game: 1. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) 2. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 3.

RBC Experience Too Much for AsiaXpat Youth
October 18th, 2024 Where’s Theo? The 2nd game of this season was a rematch of last seasons' finals between RBC Lions and AsiaXpat. However, with 2 much revamped rosters. Both teams had some key players missing for opening night, but this was still an entertaining game with AsiaXpat sporting more speed on the ice, vs the more experienced (but slower) RBC team. It was also the return to the nets for goalie Grant Phillips after not playing in net for the last couple years. The first period was evenly played with few chances at either end, the only goal being an unassisted marker by Jasper Tang to make it 1-0 for RBC. AsiaXpat captain, Justin Wong, responded from a feed by another new player, Nathan Kellar to tie the game at 1. With a follow-up question of, has anyone seen Theo Wong (Xpat’s first pick) who was MIA. A few minutes later, RBC’s "century line" scored, with Bruce Hicks finishing a play from Gary Lawrence, and Shane Weir. RBC outshot Xpat 13 to 4 in the 2nd period, with Warren Ang also tallying with 30 seconds left to close out the 2nd 3-1 for RBC. In the 3rd, Theo Wong finally made it to the rink with 9:30 left on the clock, and after a Superman outfit change, was able to get on the ice with around 5 minutes left in the game. However, too little too late as it was all RBC as Chow scored his 2nd of the game and rookie Ryan Lee capped off the game with an empty net goal with just under 2 minutes remaining. 5-1 the final for RBC Lions. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 26 shots while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 15 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jasper Chow (RBC Lions) 2. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) 3.

Alvin Sham's Hattrick Powers Unicorns over Vetiva 6-2
October 18th, 2024 Sponsor establishing early dominance Kicking off the 2024-2025 SCIHL Division 3 season were our continuing sponsor Unicorns, and we welcome our new sponsor, VetiVa Veterinary Hospital to the SCIHL. Unicorns sharp in their black uniforms, and VetiVa in the smart orange uniforms. The Unicorns are coming back with many returnees from their strong 2023-24 team, but with a key addition of Alvin Sham, one of the leading scorers of the SCIHL. While VetiVa is led by one of the top GM’s Paul Chai - who consistently drafts a strong team. The chemistry on the Unicorns showed throughout the game as you could clearly see the VetiVa team trying to work out their lines while the Unicorns carried the play. VetiVa’s newcomer goalie, Nicholas Sellars looked good in his first game in Hong Kong stopping 7 of 8 shots in the first period, only letting David Lee’s breakaway midway in the first in as it just trickled thru the 5-hole. VetiVa didn’t generate too many chances until Jason Yip was able to get his first of the season short-handed with 30 seconds left in the period. The teams exchanged power-play goals to start the 2nd with John Wade scoring first for Unicorns, followed later by Robert Chiu also on the power play. 2-2 midway thru the 2nd. Up to this point, Alvin Sham had a few chances on Sellars to feel him out and after warming up, it was the Shammer show. The next 3 goals were all Sham - all breakaway goals. He scored 2 in the 2nd, and early in the 3rd to complete his hattrick. 5-2 early in the 3rd. As VetiVa tried to press to get back into the game, it opened them up to more chances and finally, Rick Chu stole the puck at the blue line and came in on 'another' breakaway and went backhand top shelf to close out the scoring. 6-2 was the final with Unicorns outshooting VetiVa 30 to 13.

SCIHL Division 3 - 2024-2025 Season Opening Night
October 18th, 2024 Sponsor establishing early dominance Kicking off the 2024-2025 SCIHL Division 3 season were our continuing sponsor Unicorns, and we welcome our new sponsor, VetiVa Veterinary Hospital to the SCIHL. Unicorns sharp in their black uniforms, and VetiVa in the smart orange uniforms. The Unicorns are coming back with many returnees from their strong 2023-24 team, but with a key addition of Alvin Sham, one of the leading scorers of the SCIHL. While VetiVa is led by one of the top GM’s Paul Chai - who consistently drafts a strong team. The chemistry on the Unicorns showed throughout the game as you could clearly see the VetiVa team trying to work out their lines while the Unicorns carried the play. VetiVa’s newcomer goalie, Nicholas Sellars looked good in his first game in Hong Kong stopping 7 of 8 shots in the first period, only letting David Lee’s breakaway midway in the first in as it just trickled thru the 5-hole. VetiVa didn’t generate too many chances until Jason Yip was able to get his first of the season short-handed with 30 seconds left in the period. The teams exchanged power-play goals to start the 2nd with John Wade scoring first for Unicorns, followed later by Robert Chiu also on the power play. 2-2 midway thru the 2nd. Up to this point, Alvin Sham had a few chances on Sellars to feel him out and after warming up, it was the Shammer show. The next 3 goals were all Sham - all breakaway goals. He scored 2 in the 2nd, and early in the 3rd to complete his hattrick. 5-2 early in the 3rd. As VetiVa tried to press to get back into the game, it opened them up to more chances and finally, Rick Chu stole the puck at the blue line and came in on 'another' breakaway and went backhand top shelf to close out the scoring. 6-2 was the final with Unicorns outshooting VetiVa 30 to 13. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) faced 30 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 13 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (Unicorns) 2. David Lee (Unicorns) 3. Nicholas Sellars (VetiVa) Where’s Theo? The 2nd game of this season was a rematch of last seasons' finals between RBC Lions and AsiaXpat. However, with 2 much revamped rosters. Both teams had some key players missing for opening night, but this was still an entertaining game with AsiaXpat sporting more speed on the ice, vs the more experienced (but slower) RBC team. It was also the return to the nets for goalie Grant Phillips after not playing in net for the last couple years. The first period was evenly played with few chances at either end, the only goal being an unassisted marker by Jasper Tang to make it 1-0 for RBC. AsiaXpat captain, Justin Wong, responded from a feed by another new player, Nathan Kellar to tie the game at 1. With a follow-up question of, has anyone seen Theo Wong (Xpat’s first pick) who was MIA. A few minutes later, RBC’s "century line" scored, with Bruce Hicks finishing a play from Gary Lawrence, and Shane Weir. RBC outshot Xpat 13 to 4 in the 2nd period, with Warren Ang also tallying with 30 seconds left to close out the 2nd 3-1 for RBC. In the 3rd, Theo Wong finally made it to the rink with 9:30 left on the clock, and after a Superman outfit change, was able to get on the ice with around 5 minutes left in the game. However, too little too late as it was all RBC as Chow scored his 2nd of the game and rookie Ryan Lee capped off the game with an empty net goal with just under 2 minutes remaining. 5-1 the final for RBC Lions. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 26 shots while Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) faced 15 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jasper Chow (RBC Lions) 2. Grant Phillips (RBC Lions) 3. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) Father's vs Son's? In the 3rd game of the night, JOG Sportswear faced off against Young Guns Hockey Club. The Young Guns line up was made up of 4 father/son pairs, with a few being rookies to the SCIHL. The entire game was pretty evenly played with chances being traded on both ends of the ice. And it wasn’t until the end of the first period that Sherman Chan scored a tap in on the side after Christopher Lee put one off the arm of Stephanie Fok and Chan was in the right spot to the side of the net to make sure the puck was in the net. 1-0 Young Guns after 1. Calix Ma finished a nice pass from Danny Chiu and Yaann Yuen early in the 2nd to double the lead, as Young Guns pressed but were unable to increase the lead any further. The game continued to be closely fought until about 6 minutes left in the 3rd where Calix scored his 2nd of the night, again from Chiu putting up an insurance goal for Young Guns. As JOG pressed to try and get their first goal, it was instead Izzac Chan, and Danny Chiu scoring on back-to-back shifts with 2 minutes left to round out the scoring. 5-0 the final. Cameron Chiu in his first start in an adult league had an impressive 19 save shutout to open his campaign. Stephanie Fok (JOG) faced 23 shots while Camercon Chiu (Young Guns) faced 19 shots for the shutout. Three Stars of the game: 1. Cameron Chiu (Young Guns) 2. Calix Ma (Young Guns) 3.

Manulife Aces are SCIHL Division 1 Champions - 2023-2024
March 24th, 2024 If someone asked a month ago whether the Hong Kong Tycoons would make it to the 2023/24 SCIHL Championship Finals, they would probably hear a resounding no. Yet there they were, with just a single victory to their name in 2024. That one victory came at the right time, as they beat the regular season champions RBC Lions in the semi-finals. Tycoons goaltender Evan Thorpe played his best game of the season in the team's last contest, however the veteran goaltender was not available for the finals. Enter Ken Lam, who picked up two victories in the CIHL last season, to tend the Tycoon net in the biggest game of the season. Their opponents, the Macau Aces, were much more successful in the regular season, having narrowly missed out on first place in the league standings by just a single point. Boasting some of the best hockey players in Hong Kong with the likes of Whitney Olsen, Jesse Lussier, Lucas Eshleman and arguably the league's best netminder Craig Gouk, the Aces were the clear favourites to take home the SCIHL crown. Macau jumped out to an early lead with less than two minutes into the opening period. A point shot by big defenseman Tom Allen was redirected onto the stick of Matt Nuttal, with the forward then shovelling the puck into the Tycoons' net. It turned out to be the only goal in the first period as Tycoons goaltender Ken Lam turned away seven shots while Hong Kong only managed three shots on the Aces' net. Going into the second frame up by one, the Aces picked up another early-period goal courtesy of Yosef Natour, his second of the playoffs. Macau would follow that up with another marker by Lucas Eshleman, with around three minutes left in the frame, to close out the period with a 3-0 Aces lead. In dire straits, the Tycoons finally broke Craig Gouk's shutout early into the third period as Connor Quinn was able to tuck it in behind the Aces' netminder. Meanwhile, Ken Lam stood on his head during the third period as the tendy did his best to keep the Tycoons within two goals. Moving onto the final five minutes of the game, Connor Quinn would find the back of the net again to the jubilation of his Tycoon teammates, narrowing the deficit down to 3-2. In a shift of momentum, Hong Kong kept the puck in the Aces' zone as the underdogs sought the equalizer. However Macau was able to tighten things up defensively and eventually got the puck out. With the Tycoons' goaltender pulled in favour of an extra attacker, Yosef Natour would convert on a Lucas Eshleman feed and put it into Hong Kong's barren cage with 23 seconds remaining on the clock. With that, the Macau Aces secured the 2023/24 SCIHL Championships with a 4-2 victory, ending the Hong Kong Tycoons' Cinderella playoff run. Despite finishing as the bottom team in the league, the Tycoons surprisingly ended up in the championship game, salvaging a difficult season for the squad. The team was injury riddled, starting the season off without the services of star Connor Quinn and ended the season off finishing without the heart and soul of the club, Jonny Szychta. This squad is a testament to the adage that it's not where you start, but where you finish. And though they couldn't bring home the championship, nevertheless the Tycoons fought like champions to the bitter end. But at the end of the day, the Macau Aces proved that they were the better team. On a squad ladened with offensive talent, responsible defenders and a lights out goaltender, it's clear that Aces star and General Manager Whitney Olsen put together an excellent collection of players. Congratulations to the Macau Aces on winning the 2023/24 SCIHL Division 1 Championships!
Lions show up in force and thump Warriors 10-2
March 22nd, 2024 Going into the third-place game, the Kowloon Warriors came within just a single goal of reaching the SCIHL finals, falling to a strong Macau Aces club. On the other hand, the RBC Lions had a bit of a chip on their shoulders going in as the regular season champions were upset by the last-place Hong Kong Tycoons and were looking for recompense in the form of earning a win in their final game. The Warriors started strong early on though with the game's first goal courtesy of veteran Dennis Toews. RBC would pull up their bootstraps and respond with Robbie Schremp getting his team on the board. A couple minutes after that, third overall in regular season scoring Greg Smyth would pot the team's second goal, to close out the opening period with a 2-1 RBC lead. The Warriors would tie it up early in the second frame with a marker by offensive defenseman David Belluche. Unfortunately for Kowloon, their scoring dried up after that. U18 Jacky Liu would find the back of the net for the Lions to make it a 3-2 game. That would be followed by Greg Smyth and Robbie Schremp each getting their second goals of the evening. Entering the third period sitting on a 5-2 lead, RBC built upon their advantage as Rob Schremp would round out his hat trick. That was followed up by French Canadian Phillipe Laberge scoring his first goal of the season. Laberge has finally found his stride after being away from hockey for 25 years before this season with the Lions. Meanwhile, the Warriors could not muster up much offense, as RBC goaltender Rudi Bernart would end up facing only 12 shots throughout the match. Despite their five-goal lead, the Lions continued their offensive attack as Jacky Liu scored his second of the night, followed by Chloe Fong. Finally, Greg Smyth would cap off the game with a hatty of his own. The RBC Lions conclude their season with a convincing 10-2 victory over the Kowloon Warriors. In the first-half of the SCIHL season, the Kowloon Warriors were sitting in last place. The team should pat themselves on their backs as the squad valiantly lifted themselves out of the league basement to finish the regular season. Meanwhile, the RBC Lions showed why they were the regular season champions. Despite losing in the semi-finals, the team was a formidable force. Led by Robbie Schremp, his domination was evident as he controlled almost every game he played. The former NHLer finishes the 2023/24 SCIHL season with the best performance in the history of Hong Kong ice hockey.

Gouk stands tall as Aces hand on and down Warriors 4-3
March 15th, 2024 Heading into the second semi-finals of the 2023/24 SCIHL playoffs, we had two teams that both had resurgent starts in the new calendar year. Led by runner-up in the league scoring race Whitney Olsen and arguably the best goaltender this season Craig Gouk, the Macau Aces secured second place in the SCIHL and came within just one point of being the regular season champions. Meanwhile, the Kowloon Warriors, possessing two of the best defensemen in Hong Kong in Dave Belluche and Ben MacAskill, began 2024 dead last but were able to climb out of the league basement to finish third in the league standings. Macau jumped out to a quick start as lifelong Ace Whitney Olsen scored within the first minute of the game. The Aces would be back at it again a few minutes later, this time with Yosef Natour putting it past Warrior goaltender Ray Loo. Kowloon finally found their stride and managed to score their first goal of the match with veteran Kosuke Ikeda finding the back of the net with just 12 seconds remaining in the opening period. In a low-scoring second period, standing at 2-1 for the Aces, the period's only goal came with less than three minutes remaining in the frame. Macau increased their lead by three, as Whitney Olsen scored his second of the game on a power play marker. Despite the goal, Warriors netminder Ray Loo turned away 11 shots in the period to keep his team in the game. On the other end, Aces goaltender Craig Gouk only faced a total of 14 shots by the end of the second frame. Heading into the third period at 3-1 for the Aces, Macau increased their lead by three as Lucas Eshleman would get on the board near the halfway mark of the final period. Down 4-1, Kowloon finally stepped up their offense as they got their second goal of the game with a goal by Kevin O'Toole. With a two-goal deficit, the Warriors took an untimely penalty with less than five minutes remaining in the game. Despite that Kowloon kept attacking, resulting in a shorthanded goal by none other than former goaltender and current Warrior centreman Antoine Devolz. The former French league professional shoveled one in off of a rebound at the doorstep of Craig Gouk, to pull his team within a goal with just four minutes remaining in the game. Having their lead reduced to just a single goal at this point, the Aces did all they could to fend of the Warriors' attack. The latter would finish the period having thrown 12 shots on the Aces' net but however, Craig Gouk stood tall, turning away 10 of those opportunities. Despite a late-game offensive drive by Kowloon, the Macau Aces would survive and hold on for a narrow victory of 4-3 over the Warriors. Despite the early setback, the Kowloon Warriors showed great heart to make this game a one-goal affair. Kosuke Ikeda finished with two points on the evening and Ray Loo turned aside a respectable 24 shots. The Warriors are regulated to the third-place game against the regular season champions RBC Lions. On the other end, Aces' leader Whitney Olsen showed why he's one of the league's best players racking up two goals and an assist. Meanwhile, big defenseman Tom Allen quietly contributed with three assists along with his stellar play on the back end. In addition, Craig Gouk had another solid night, finishing with a .885 save percentage to close out the night. The Macau Aces will go for the SCIHL Division 1 playoff championships against the Hong Kong Tycoons on Saturday, March 23rd in Discovery Bay.

Tycoons stun first place Lions and advance to the SCIHL Finals
March 15th, 2024 Do you believe in miracles? Because that's what the Hong Kong Tycoons needed going up against the powerhouse RBC Lions in the opening round of the 2023/24 SCIHL playoffs. Led by captain and the all time leading scorer of the CIHL Greg Smyth, along with Rob Schremp -likely the best hockey player ever to ply his trade in south-east Asia, and not to mention some of the best U18 players in Hong Kong, the number one seeded Lions were clearly the favourites. The Tycoons however are a rag tag ensemble. With the other SCIHL teams possessing multiple players with Jr. A, major junior, college and professional experience, Hong Kong's Connor Quinn is the only player on his roster that boasts an NCAA resume. Surely the RBC Lions would be a shoo-in to advance to the championship finals? Things certainly looked that way to start as RBC jumped out with the lead just a minute and a half into the game as, you guessed it, Robbie Schremp set his team up with a quick goal. Despite the early setback, the Tycoons stuck to their script and played a tight defensive first period. Down 1-0, Hong Kong was eventually rewarded with their first marker off the stick of star forward Francis Lam, nearly halfway into the frame. RBC would go on to fire 12 shots on net in the opening period but Tycoon netminder Evan Thorpe would turn away 11 of them to keep the game at 1-1 before the intermission. Now mind you, heading into the second period all tied up for the Tycoons was a great start against a squad they struggled against all season. Hong Kong was getting ready for a battle of attrition as they sought to wear out the RBC Lions and most of all, their star player Rob Schremp. Unseen for the most part during the regular season, the Tycoons' relentless forecheck was able to stifle the Lions' offensive prowess, limiting their opponents to just seven shots on goal. In a breakthrough for Hong Kong, perennial leader and Tycoon captain Jimi Fanstone got the go-ahead goal with just two and a half minutes before the end of the second period. That wouldn't be the only goal of the period though as the Tycoons would get on the board again with Connor Daly finding the back of the net a minute later to close out the frame. Heading into the third period with the score sitting at 3-1 for the Tycoons, the Lions fell even further as Scott Strickland took a feed from Francis Lam, putting it past Rudi Bernart. Fighting a three goal deficit, RBC was picking at straws as they fell victim to their opponent's aggressive forecheck. Particularly burdened by the intense Tycoon coverage, Robbie Schremp could be heard telling his teammates to "get open" as he sought to find a seam through Hong Kong's oncoming defenders. With the game sitting at 4-1, the situation worsened for the Lions as Maritime native Jeff Wall would be sent on a breakaway. Faking from forehand to backhand, Wall would pot Hong Kong's fifth goal of the evening. However the Lions would cut their deficit back down to three as Greg Smyth found the back of the net a minute and a half later. Moving on into the final minutes of the third period, captain Jimi Fanstone would be sent on a break, scoring the Tycoons' final goal of the match. RBC would muster up their last goal with just 17 seconds left in the game, but that wasn't enough as the regular season champion Lions fell to the basement dwelling Tycoons by a score of 6-3. In a shocking turn of events, the last place Hong Kong Tycoons move on to the SCIHL playoff finals. RBC star and league scoring champion Robbie Schremp was held to just two points while captain Greg Smyth finished with two goals and an assist in the loss. Unceremoniously, the regular season champion Lions will now play in the third place game on May 21st. On the other end, the Tycoons' Connor Quinn, Jeff Wall and Francis Lam each registered two points in the win. Jimi Fanstone had a big night walking away with three points whilst quietly, Scott Strickland picked up four assists and is now the SCIHL playoff scoring leader. Tycoon netminder Evan Thrope would cap off the evening with a .900 save percentage, turning away 27 shots in the victory.

Lions Capture Division 3 Championship!
March 15th, 2024 RBC Lions are the SCIHL Division 3, 2023-2024 Champions! After another competitive regular season where playoff spots and the final teams to make the playoffs weren’t settled until the last game, it was time for the championship final between AsiaXpat and RBC Lions. The game started in a tight checking affair with both teams clogging up the neutral zone hoping to capitalize on a turnover. The first period was very evenly played with chances on both ends and it wasn’t until late in the period did Jovi Wat score the opening goal. In the 2nd period, RBC put the pressure on AsiaXpat, as they aggressively forechecked and did not allow Xpat any space. It worked so well that they drew a couple penalties where Calix Ma scored on the powerplay finishing the passing play with Wat and Charles Liu to give RBC a 2-0 lead. RBC dominated the 2nd and outshot Xpat 12-0. 30 seconds into the 3rd period, Wat scored again to make it 3-0 and Xpat although stepped up their game in the 3rd, was only able to break Keira Mok’s shutout bid with their own powerplay goal late in the game. Keira Mok (RBC) faced 13 shots while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) was busier with 26 shots. Congratulations to RBC Lions! Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3.

Aces end season with 4 game winning streak
March 8th, 2024 The second place Macau Aces faced off against the last overall Hong Kong Tycoons in a match that had no playoff implications, as every team in the SCIHL were locked into their respective places in the league standings. Nevertheless this was an important game for the Tycoons as they attempted to break their slump, having lost every match in the calendar year. Hong Kong was bolstered by the return of Jimi Fanstone and Connor Quinn and were looking to head into the playoffs on a winning note. It was the Aces that drew first blood as the team would score three unanswered goals in a deflating opening period for the Tycoons. Whitney Olsen, second in SCIHL scoring, would get the first marker followed by U18 LPP Julian Ikeda's consecutive goals in the frame. Down by three already to start the second period, Jeff Wall finally got the Tycoons on the board, scoring his 14th goal of the season. Aces goaltender Craig Gouk would continue with his solid play only allowing one goal on 12 shots in the period and his Tycoon counterpart Evan Thorpe had his best period shutting out Macau in the second frame with eight saves. With the Aces going into the third period leading 3-1, Connor Quinn pulled the Tycoons within one goal early in the frame. The Aces quickly took back the two goal buffer though as Jesse Lussier would find the back of the net. Fighting a 4-2 deficit, Hong Kong pressed hard, throwing 16 shots on net in the third period. Unfortunately for the Tycoons, they found themselves in penalty trouble late in the period. With a man down and just less than two minutes remaining in the game, their opponents seized the opportunity. Macau extinguished any hopes of a late game comeback with a power play marker by U18 LPP Julian Ikeda, closing out the game in a 5-2 Aces victory over the Hong Kong Tycoons. The Macau Aces continue on with their roll and will head into the playoffs against the Kowloon Warriors in the first round. Goaltender Craig Gouk had one of his best games all season and was pivotal in the Aces' victory, making 34 saves on 36 Tycoon shots. Gouk finishes the year as arguably the league's best goalie, just edging out RBC's Rudi Bernart in goals against average and save percentage, along with tying Bernart with the most wins. On the offensive side of things, Whitney Olsen's two points in the evening has the Minnesota native finishing with 46 points in 15 games this season, good for second overall in SCIHL scoring. Facing a hot goalie, the Tycoons could only muster up a pair of goals against the Aces and will be looking for a miracle as they face the powerhouse RBC Lions in the opening round of the playoffs. Connor Daly's assist brought the HK native to 38 points this season, good for forth in SCIHL scoring. Meanwhile, Francis Lam and Leon Ruelle would end the season each averaging two points per game. Finally, Jeff Wall showed he still had it as the veteran was just shy of a goal per game pace this season.

Lions secure 1st place with commanding 11-4 win over Warriors
March 8th, 2024 Heading into the final game of the SCIHL regular season, the RBC Lions were looking to clinch first place in the league standings. Anything less would mean leaving their fate in the hands of the Macau Aces, who still had one game remaining and were only a point back of the league leaders. However, the Kowloon Warriors, who are locked in third place in the SCIHL, were looking to play the role of spoilers in their final regular season game against RBC. They intended to pull that off with Ray Loo in net, who was recently picked up by Kowloon for the rest of the season as former goaltender Antoine Devolz made the transition to skater due to a nagging knee injury. The Warriors started strong on an opening minute goal by the Warriors' Ben MacAskill, one of the toughest players to go up against in Hong Kong. Kowloon would go on to pepper RBC goaltender Rudi Bernart with 11 shots in the first period but the team could only convert on MacAskill's goal. The Lions found its stride halfway into the opening frame though as Greg Smyth would find the back of the net. That was followed up by Chloe Fong potting her sixth goal of the season. Finally, RBC's LPP Lucas Eshleman would get one past Ray Loo to close out the period's scoring. With the game sitting at 3-1 in favor of the Lions, the team continued on its roll with LPP Jimi Fanstone's marker just 16 seconds into the second period. However, the Warriors would finally snap RBC's string of unanswered goals just two minutes later as U18 LPP Julian Ikeda sent a pass over to his father Kosuke, with the elder scoring his fifth of the season to pull Kowloon within two. RBC responded as LPP Jimi Fanstone would find the net for his second goal, making the game 5-2 for the Lions. Not to be outdone, Ben MacAskill would also score his second on the night to pull the Warriors within two goals yet again. Robbie Schremp would then finally get a goal of his own for RBC on an individual effort, putting the score at a 6-3 Lions' lead. The flurry of action extended into the final minute of the second period as Kosuke Ikeda would pot another goal, assisted again by son Julian, with just 55 seconds remaining in the frame. The action continued right up to the last 15 seconds of the period as RBC, refusing to stand on their two goal lead, increased the margin with Jeff Griffin scoring his first goal of the match to close out the frame. Heading into the third period with a 7-4 lead, the RBC Lions never looked back. Amazingly Jeff Griffin, who came into the game with just three goals this season, would go on to complete a natural hat trick with goals at the first and fourth minute mark of the third period. To top it off, Robbie Schremp would find the back of the net again and LPP Jimi Fanstone would round out a hatty of his own to close out the game in an 11-4 RBC Lions victory over the Kowloon Warriors. All but one of the Lions' players registered at least a point in the match. Robbie Schremp had an astounding eight points, the most in any game this season. Hong Kong's version of Gretzky capped off the regular season as the highest scoring player in an SCIHL campaign, finishing with 22 goals, 46 assists in 15 games and a mindblowing point per game average of 4.53. With the victory, RBC is crowned the regular season champions and will be the team to beat heading into the first round of the SCIHL playoffs against the beleaguered Hong Kong Tycoons. Ironically the Warriors' loss guaranteed that they would not have to face the powerhouse Lions in the playoff's opening round. Julian and Kosuke Ikeda each had two points, along with hulking defenseman Benny MacAskill's pair of goal. LPP Whitney Olsen also chipped in with three assists on the night. The team will head into the first round of the playoffs as underdogs against a strong Macau Aces roster.

RBC and AsiaXpat advance to SCIHL D3 finals!
March 8th, 2024 PLAYOFF HOCKEY! RBC Lions advance to SCIHL Championship finals The semi-finals between Ice Wolves and RBC Lions started out a very balanced affair as both teams probed for opportunities and were unwilling to allow too much open space for the top lines to exploit. There were spurts of pressure from Ice Wolves, but many promising plays ended up without a shot on net as the final pass went errant or was tipped away. Each team had few good looks on net and both goalies were sharp early on. This continued early in the 2nd, until RBC caught the Ice Wolves on a line change allowing Fabrizio Faita to pick out Jovi Wat for the games first goal firing one thru the defense and past Lui. A few minutes later, RBC capitalized on a powerplay as Wat finished another pass from Faita to double the score, and with the Wolves reeling, Andy Ma finished a 2 on 1 with Charles Liu to put the Wolves deep in a whole. RBC outshot Ice Wolves 10-2 in the 2nd and the score reflected it. The third saw more gambling from the Ice Wolves as they pressed for a response but Keira Mok was up for the shots. On the counterattack, the Lions scored 2 more, Calix Ma and Wat finishing his hattrick to seal their ticket to the SCIHL final. Keira Mok (RBC) faced 13 shots for the shutout while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 22 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3. Andy Ma (RBC Lions) AsiaXpat holds off Unicorns to advance to SCIHL Championship finals Both teams came in with several top players away, so it was anyone's game. Unicorns pressed early in the game and Andrew Rueger opened the scoring with a laser to the top corner short side catching Martin Jim showing a little light next to his head. Xpats replied just over a minute later as Michael Lam pounced on a rebound and past Arthur Chan to tie the game. Although the Unicorns were showing opportunities, they weren’t getting shots on net and in the ensuing play - Xpats were able to take advantage. Sam WH Wong getting a big goal in the low slot after being setup by captain Paul Chai from behind the net and Allan Yee following up with a long-awaited goal of his own to put Xpats 3-1 up after 1. Unicorns outshooting Xpats 11-5. Rueger got one back early in the 2nd and the Unicorns increased the pressure getting more shots on net but Jim was holding the fort until the Unicorns took a penalty late in the 2nd. Jimmy Thai scoring a big powerplay goal for Xpats closing the 2nd with a 4-2 lead. The Unicorns weren’t going away though and in this see-saw game Rick Chu got one back early to make it 4-3, only for Lam to once again, reply just a minute later to restore the 2- goal lead with 9 minutes to play. Shortly after the faceoff, Rueger completed his hattrick with an unassisted goal to make it 5-4 with 8 minutes to go and setting up a tense ending. Unicorns pulled their goalie late in the game and Xpats had an empty net to finish off the game only to miss the net and have a 2 on 0 come back the other way, but Jim once again bailed them out to preserve the lead and punch their ticket to the final. This was a really exciting game to watch as numerous chances came and went for both teams in an evenly played game. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 17 shots, while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 24 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Michael Lam (AsiaXpat) 2. Jimmy Thai (AsiaXpat) 3. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) The SCIHL Championship final will be played on 14 March 2024 at 10:30pm between #1 seed RBC Lions and #2 seed AsiaXpat. Remember to find us on: 1.

Remembering Fei Di Choi
March 7th, 2024 It is with a heavy heart that we share some very sad news that our longtime friend, Fei Di Choi, one of the 'godfathers' of Hong Kong hockey who was a friend with so many of us in the HK Hockey community as well as coach to many of our younger players, has sadly passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Thank you, Fei Di, for all you have done for hockey in Hong Kong. A moment of silence was held in remembrance of Fei Di before the games on Thursday. Thank you to all.
Aces double up on short-handed Warriors 8-4
March 1st, 2024 Heading into their game against the Macau Aces, the Kowloon Warriors were locked in 3rd place overall in the SCIHL standings by virtue of the Hong Kong Tycoon's defeat earlier in the evening. The Macau Aces on the other hand have been on fire in 2024, having been only defeated once in their last seven games, with their last loss at the hands of the Warriors. Kowloon got the first jump as Kevin O'Toole would put one behind Aces' goaltender Craig Gouk just 34 seconds into the game. Less than a minute after, LPP Leon Ruelle would put the Warriors up by two. Undeterred by the early two-goal deficit, the Aces would respond as Macau captain Jesse Lussier found the back of the net on an individual effort. The Aces would then find the equalizer with Yosef Natour's sixth goal of the season. Just a minute later, LPP Jerry Kim would get Macau's third goal to put the Aces up by one. The Warriors answered back though as LPP Connor Daly tied things up to put the game at three a piece. However, in the dying seconds of the first period, U18 Aces LPP and HK national junior team member Lleyton Lam put the puck past Kowloon goaltender Antoine Devolz with just a single second left in the frame. Heading into the second period sitting at 4-3 in favor of the Aces, Macau would expand their lead with a snipe by team points leader Whitney Olsen. Unlike the explosion of goals we had in the first period, Olsen's goal would be the only marker in the second frame as the Warriors only managed seven shots while their goaltender Antoine Devolz made 13 saves during that span. During the opening minutes of the third period, Warriors LPP Leon Ruelle was able to find the back of the net again, cutting the Aces lead back to one. That was the last goal Kowloon could muster though as Macau would firmly hold onto the driver's seat from then on. Jesse Lussier would go on to score his second and third goals of the evening to round out his hat trick. Whitney Olsen would then put another goal away to secure the victory. When all said and done, the Macau Aces were able to come up with a convincing victory of 8-4 over the Kowloon Warriors. Yosef Natour had a great game for the Aces, walking away with four points. Teammate Jesse Lussier one-upped Natour though as the Ottawa, Ontario native finished with a five-point night. However, it was Whitney Olsen who would best them all, finishing with an incredible six-point effort. Olsen continues his offensive tear this season and is second in SCIHL scoring with 44 points, behind ex-NHLer Robbie Schremp. On the Warriors' front, Kevin O'Toole who has consistently produced for his team, came away with three points in the defeat. As well, Kowloon goaltender Antoine Devolz had a respectable night, making 29 saves. Sadly for Devolz, this would prove to be his final game in net for the Warriors. The Swiss goalie announced after the match that due to his nagging knee injury, he will not be able to continue tending the Warrior goal and will play the rest of the SCIHL season as a skater. We wish Antoine a speedy recovery! UPCOMING GAMES - March 7th @ Discovery Bay Ice Rink Game 1: Warriors vs Lions @ 8:15 pm Game 2: Aces vs Tycoons @ 9:15 pm Remember to find us on: 1.

RBC Lions hang on to down HKBN Tycoons 7-6
March 1st, 2024 Entering the game, the Hong Kong Tycoons were on a six game slide, bringing the team all the way down into the SCIHL basement from its second place status back in December. Meanwhile the RBC Lions have recently felt the heat from the red hot Macau Aces in the standings and were looking to preserve first place in the league. The Lions were off to a good start within the game's first minute as Robbie Schremp casually sniped one top corner past Tycoons goaltender Evan Thorpe. Two minutes later, Schremp would score another goal that almost identical to his first. Down by two, the Tycoons found the back of the net at the five minute mark on a Francis Lam goal. But in the blink of an eye, the Lions were up by two again on a goal by Jeff Griffin. Despite this, Hong Kong would not back down as LPP Tycoon Whitney Olsen would find some space beneath the blocker of RBC's LPP goaltender Ray Loo. Following that, Connor Daly would tie things up for the Tycoons just 20 seconds later. With the game even at three a piece, RBC LPP Kevin O'Toole would break the stalemate with about three minutes remaining in the first period. Just a minute later, Greg Smyth regained the two goal advantage for the Lions to close out the period's scoring, sitting at 5-3 for RBC. Unlike the eight goals in the opening frame, the second period had much lower scoring, with both teams only potting one goal each. The period's first goal came with just a minute and 30 seconds remaining as Robbie Schremp, who must have been bored or something, rounded out his hat trick making it 6-3 for the Lions. However the Tycoons would reduce their deficit back down to two with Connor Daly's second goal of the evening and his 15th marker of the season. Going into the third period up 6-4, RBC would expand their lead with U18 points leader Chloe Fong finding the back of the net early in the frame. That would prove to be the Lions' final goal of the night as the Tycoons tried desperately to mount a comeback. Hong Kong's Francis Lam would score his second goal, pulling his team within two again. Then with a minute and a half left in the third period, the Tycoons would make it a one goal game on LPP Whitney Olsen's second marker of the match. With Evan Thorpe pulled, the six Tycoon attackers pressed hard for the equalizer. Their best opportunity came on a cross crease pass by Whitney Olsen over to Sean Navin. Unfortunately for the Tycoons, Navin was stoned on his one timer by Ray Loo who read the play, sliding from post to post, making the save of the game with his right pad and preserving the lead for RBC. In a narrow victory, the Lions edge out a 7-6 win over the Hong Kong Tycoons. It would be remiss if we didn't mention Rob Schremp's six point night, five of which coming in the first period. Frustrated, there was little the Tycoons' defenders could do except shake their heads and perhaps shout out a few obscenities. Probably the best hockey player to suit up in Hong Kong, if not south-east Asia, the former Edmonton Oilers 1st rounder is the driving force in the RBC Lions' success this season. On the other end, with seven losses in a row and having gone winless in 2024, the Hong Kong Tycoons have locked themselves dead last in the SCIHL standings. On the bright side, their offensive leaders continue to produce despite the losses. Leon Ruelle, Connor Daly and Francis Lam each finished with four points in the game, with the latter contributing despite being ill the past few days.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 15 Scoreboard
March 1st, 2024 Doing all they can Both teams had a lot to play for this game. YATS Engineers needed to win to keep their hopes alive, while Ice Wolves having secured their playoff spot, needed a win to secure 3rd spot and avoid league leaders RBC Lions in the semi-finals. YATs, the hottest team not named RBC in 2024 (1 win behind RBC) had really turned around their play in the new year. Unfortunately for them, there were more games played in 2023 where they were tied with JOG for the least wins that put them in this position. YATS started the game well and had good possession in the Wolves zone until an errant pass back to the point released David Finifter down the right boards and he lasered a shot past Stephanie Fok low stick side to open the scoring. A minute later, Art Tam one timed a pass from Rob Chiu into the top corner short side to even the score followed by Justin Kuok tipping Brendon Lui’s shot past Martin Jim (Ice Wolves LPP) a few minutes later. 2-1 after 1 period. Ice Wolves had several good chances only to be thwarted by Fok and the only goal in the 2nd period was when Brendon Lui finished a pass from the corner by Rob Chiu giving YATS a 3-1 lead after 2 periods. Jackie Chan scored early in the 3rd in close as he jammed his 2nd chance past Fok, but Tam regained the 2-goal lead on the next shift walking past the Ice Wolves D and putting one under the blocker. Brendon rounded out the scoring with his 2nd of the night into the empty net to secure the win for YATS who did all they could to put some pressure on the Unicorns ahead of their game, but YATS playoff fate now depended on JOG beating the Unicorns in regulation time. Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 17 shots for the win while Martin Jim (Ice Wolves LPP) faced 26 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Stephanie Fok (YATS Engineers) 2. Brendon Lui (YATS Engineers) 3. Justin Kuok (YATS Engineers) Defensive masterclass The Unicorns needed to secure at least 1 point from this game to make the playoffs, while a win would put them into the 3rd spot avoiding top-seeded RBC Lions. A good crowd gathered to watch the outcome and the Unicorns deflated the mood early on by scoring first. Kiu Lee finishing a pass from Leon Mo giving Unicorns a 1-0 lead against the play as JOG was playing well as usual in the first period, creating a lot of opportunities but unable to get pucks by Arthur Chan. The Unicorns seemed to wake up and started to lock down the middle of the ice as they normally do, and in the 2nd limited JOG to only 1 shot on net while Lee scored once again on the powerplay to give Unicorns a 2-0 lead after 2 periods. Donald Chow finally solved Chan early in the 3rd giving the crowd (many YATS supporters) something to cheer for, but Rick Chu silenced the crowed 5 minutes later by restoring the 2- goal lead and Tracy Wong scored an insurance to round out the scoring. 4-1 final for Unicorns as they get ready to face an injury hit AsiaXpat team in the semis. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 11 shots, while Keira Mok (JOG LPP) faced 19 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Kiu Lee (Unicorns) 2. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 3. Tracy Wong (Unicorns) Matchup of the top seeds With both RBC Lions and AsiaXpat secure in their playoff spots, this game was just a warmup to a potential final if both win their semifinals and this proved to be good match up. The game was evenly played through out with Calix Ma opening the scoring late in the first to give the Lions an early 1-0 lead only for Allan Yee to tie it up a minute later. 1-1 after the first. Ma scored again just 28 seconds into the 2nd period after being set free from a long pass from Eric Pang. Mid period, Paul Chai wowed the crowd with a laser to the top corner glove side to tie it again. Xpat’s looked for more as Charles Liu was called for a hook and went on the powerplay. However, it was Jovi Wat spoiling that with a smart short-handed marker to regain RBC’s lead. 3-2 after 2. At the start of the 3rd, it was Xpats turn to parade to the penalty box, only for Michael Lam to return the favour and score his own short-handed goal to tie the game again. But playing with fire cost AsiaXpat as Danny Chiu scored on the powerplay giving RBC the 4-3 lead. Wat rounded out the scoring with an empty netter as Xpat’s pressed near the end for the equalizer putting the game out of reach. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 25 shots while Keira Mok (RBC) faced 18 shots to close out the regular season. Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 2. Danny Chiu (RBC Lions) 3. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) UPCOMING GAMES - March 7 @ Mega Ice Game 1: AsiaXpat vs Unicorns @ 8:30pm Game 2: Lions vs Ice Wolves @ 9:30pm Game 3: YATS vs JOG @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

Tycoons losing streak at 6 as they fall to Warriors 6-4
February 23rd, 2024 Sitting in the league's basement, the Hong Kong Tycoons were just one point from the third place Kowloon Warriors in the SCIHL. The latter has elevated their play while the Tycoons, whom sat in second place in the league standings in December, have been in a free fall since the new year began. Hong Kong started strong with Leon Ruelle potting the game's first goal on Kowloon goaltender Antoine Devolz near the 10 minute mark of the opening period. About 40 seconds after though, the Warriors would get on the board with David Belluche cutting laterally across the slot (as he so often does) and sniping it along the ice past Tycoons LPP goaltender Ray Loo. About a minute later, Belluche would find the back of the net again, closing out the period at 2-1 in favour of the Warriors. Kowloon would continue its roll into the second period on Jake McDonnell's goal about four minutes into the frame. However the Tycoons cut the deficit back down to one on great effort by Ken Yee, as the pinching defenseman joined the rush, drove the net and tipped Leon Ruelle's shot-pass through his legs and into the net. The Warriors would regain their two-goal lead though as Blake Steele was sent on a breakaway by linemate Jake McDonnell, with Steele tucking it into the Tycoons' cage. In a bit of a back breaker for Hong Kong, they then allowed the final goal of the second period with just 5 seconds remaining as Dave Belluche would complete his hat trick, making it 5-2 for the Warriors. Perhaps feeling a sense of urgency with their lackluster start to the second half of the SCIHL season, the Tycoons came into the third period with a bit of a roar. Connor Daly and Jeff Wall would each find the back of the net just 30 seconds apart, to pull within one goal on the Warriors. The Tycoons were pressing hard for the equalizer, however an untimely penalty would diminish their hopes. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, Jake McDonnell scored his second goal of the evening on the power play, putting the Warriors ahead by a pair. Kowloon would ride the two goal buffer till the end and finish the game with a 6-4 victory over the Hong Kong Tycoons. Warriors stars Dave Belluche and Jake McDonnell finished the evening with four points each and Blake Steele had three points in the victory. On the other end, the Tycoons showed a lot of heart in their loss. Leon Ruelle and Connor Daly each had three points on the evening. Ruelle has consistently produced for the Tycoons in his first SCIHL season, while Daly now currently sits forth in league scoring.

Olsen 4 point night helps Aces knock of 1st place Lions 6-4
February 23rd, 2024 In a matchup between the top squads in the SCIHL, the league leading RBC Lions came into the tilt hoping to rebound from their last game's loss with the return of stars Robbie Schremp and Greg Smyth. The Macau Aces on the other hand have been red hot, losing only once in their last six games. The Lions came out strong with the game's first goal by Robbie Schremp. The Fulton, New York native has been leading the SCIHL scoring race all season and entered the game with 18 points more than the Aces' Whitney Olsen and teammate Greg Smyth who were tied for second place. The Aces would equalize just a minute before the end of the first period as Macau's Lucas Eshleman found the back of the net. The Aces' relief was short lived though as the Lions regained their lead quickly with only 12 seconds remaining in period, off the stick of U18 Cooper Fang. With the match picking up steam in the second period, Lucas Eshleman would tie things up once again for the Aces at the ten minute mark. But in a recurring theme, another U18 player would take back the lead for the Lions on a goal by Chloe Fong. Minutes later, Rob Schremp would expand RBC's lead with about five minutes left in the second frame. Up by two, it looked as though the Lions had this game in the bag. RBC's offense was firing and goaltender Rudi Bernart shored things up defensively for the team, making the save of the game as he dove across the crease to prevent a goal on what was a wide open net opportunity for Macau. However as we have seen for much of 2024, the Aces were not about to fold. With just three minutes left in the second period, Macau would shrink the deficit to one on Whitney Olsen's goal. Shortly after, the Aces struck again as Matthew Nuttal would tie up the game in the final minute of the frame. In a shifting of momentum, the Aces entered the third period with the wind at their backs. Macau's Matthew Nuttal would pot his second of the night, taking the lead for the Aces. Though RBC pressed for a goal throughout the final frame, the Aces would fend off the Lions and seal the victory with just over a minute left in the game on veteran Mark Hinch's marker. In what was a hard fought battle between both clubs, the Macau Aces would walk away with a 6-4 win over the RBC Lions. Despite the Lions losing multiple games in a row for the first time this season, the team's U18 players were valuable contributors in the game, showing they are not just simply passengers on a team chalked full of talent. Amongst them is the league's lone female player, 13 year old Chloe Fong, who is the leading point producer amongst all U18 players in the SCIHL. As well, RBC goaltender Rudi Bernart would finish the game making 39 saves, doing his best to give his team a chance. But the Aces proved formidable as the club continues with its hot streak. Whitney Olsen now currently sits second in league scoring with 38 points after his five point night. Not to be outdone, Lucas Eshleman would one-up his Aces teammate with a hat trick and three assists in the victory. Macau is now only a single point away from the RBC Lions and the top of the SCIHL standings.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 14 Scoreboard
February 23rd, 2024 Presidents Trophy A win for RBC Lions over JOG Sports this game would secure the top spot in the regular season. And win they did. A motivated Lion’s team tore through a struggling JOG team who have had trouble mustering offense. The line of Jovi Wat, Karl Mok, and Calix Ma combined for 12 points this game scoring 2 in the first, 3 in the 2nd with Wat completing his hattrick, and Danny Chiu and Jhonny Leung rounding out the scoring in the 3rd to shutout JOG 7-0. RBC Lions look ready for the playoffs and will need to wait until the final game of the regular season to be played before finding out who they will play. Arthur Chan (JOG LPP) faced 30 shots while Keira Mok (RBC) had a quiet night facing 9 shots to secure the shutout. Three Stars of the game: 1. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) Still hanging by a thread The Unicorns game against YATS Engineers had plenty of people watching as the Unicorns were looking for a single point to secure their playoff spot, while YATS needed to win to keep their hopes alive. With both teams missing players due to injury, Unicorns called in Jovi Wat to slot in for Grant Phillips while YATS called in Tristan Lo to replace Brendan Lui. And the game started in a very tightly played manner typical of other Unicorns games. It wasn’t until the 2nd period was the first goal scored by Shane Weir. This was followed shortly by Tristan Lo breaking up the left boards after a faceoff win from YATS defensive zone and score on a breakaway. Bonnie Lui completed the scoring late in the 2nd to give YATS a 3-0 lead after 2 periods. In the 3rd, it was all Unicorns as they hemmed YATS in the defensive zone and after a few shifts of this pressure, it finally paid off as in the mad scramble, a loose puck went to the high slot where Kenyon Tse rolled in uncontested and blasted a shot by Fok to make it 3-1. As the Unicorns continued to press, YATS were able to take advantage of turnovers at the blue and in a span of 1 minute, Lo scored 2 goals to complete his hattrick and give YATS a commanding 5-1 lead with 8 minutes to go. After a number of great chances on both sides, Jovi Wat rounded out the scoring to make it 5-2 as YATS breathed a sigh of relief as the Mo & Wat line was close to scoring all game. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 19 shots, while Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 13 shots. With the win, YATS remains 2 points out of the last playoff spot with 1 game left to play and Unicorns sit in 4th. Three Stars of the game: 1. Tristan Lo (YATS Engineers) 2. Bonnie Lui (YATS Engineers) 3. Shane Weir (YATS Engineers) Locked and loaded AsiaXpat looked on cruise control with a secured playoff berth missing some of their top players, while the Ice Wolves were looking to secure their playoff spot with a win, and it showed in the play. The Ice Wolves dominated play taking an early 3 goal lead with the Hamish Pang and David Finifter pair firing on all cylinders this game. Pang with 2 in the first, and Jacob McLoughlin scoring unmarked in front of the net, 3-0 after the first. Finifter made it 4-0 after another 2 on 1 passing play with Pang before Paul Chai responded for Xpat. But shortly after, Pang and Finifter connected again, and again, and again. All in all, Pang ended up with 5g and Finifter 2 on the night to lead the Ice Wolves to a 8-3 victory that secured their playoff spot. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 12 shots for the win while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 29 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. David Finifter (Ice Wolves) 3. Michael Lam (AsiaXpat) UPCOMING GAMES - February 29 @ Mega Ice Game 1: YATS vs Wolves @ 8:30pm Game 2: Unicorns vs JOG @ 9:30pm Game 3: Lions vs AsiaXpat @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

Aces continue to roll with 5-1 victory over Tycoons
February 9th, 2024 Having gone winless in the last four games of 2024, the HKBN Tycoons desperately needed a win to shake the monkey off its back. Meanwhile, the Manulife Aces were on the rise as they overtook the Tycoons in SCIHL standing near the end of January after sitting in third place for the majority of the season. Things were off to a rocky start for the Tycoons as they once again gave up the game's opening goal, this time to former Eastern Junior Hockey League star Whitney Olsen, just roughly 30 seconds into the game. Despite the early goal, they wouldn't see another marker until the third period. Evan Thorpe for the Tycoons and Aces goaltender Craig Gouk virtually stood on their heads, making some fantastic saves on great opportunities had by both squads. However, with just 14 seconds into the third frame, Whitney Olsen would find the back of the net again for a 2-0 Aces lead. the Aces would take the reins from there as Yosef Natour would pot two behind Evan Thorpe and Whitney Olsen would finalize his hat trick, bringing it to 5-0. The Tycoon's Francis Lam, one of the team's offensive bright spots this season, managed to break Craig Gouk's shutout with a goal nearing the end of the game. When all said and done, the game fell in favor of the Manulife Aces in a 5-1 victory over the HKBN Tycoons. Despite the loss, the Tycoons can take some solace in that it was actually their best game of the calendar year. Up until the third period, the team played great defense and goaltender Evan Thrope was able to make several key saves to keep his squad close. Hong Kong has been missing their top offensive stars Jonny Szychta (out with season-ending knee surgery), Jimi Fanstone, and Connor Quinn for much of 2024. With a complete roster, their chances should surely improve. The Aces meanwhile are firing on all cylinders as the team has worked through some early season issues and has translated it into second place in the SCIHL standings. Aside from Whitney Olsen, it's hard to ignore Yosef Natour's contribution to the Aces offense, coupled with the stellar play on the team's back end with the likes of veteran Tom Allen, U18 Issac Yip, and not to mention slick offensive defenseman Jesse Lussier.

Surging Warriors vault past Tycoons for 3rd place
February 9th, 2024 To the casual observer simply looking at the SCIHL standings, one would think that the Kowloon Warriors were in tough going into the game against the league-leading RBC Lions. However, the Warriors have picked up several key wins during 2024 and are gradually clawing their way out of the SCIHL basement, closing the gap on the third-place Hong Kong Tycoons. The Lions were also with their stars Robbie Schremp, Greg Smyth, and Nicholas Weberg just ahead of the Chinese New Year break. Goaltenders Rudi Bernart for RBC and the Warrior's Antoine Devolz, the latter of whom was coming off injury reserve, only allowed a goal each as both faced well over 20 shots during the game's first two periods. The Lion's Jeff Griffin broke the ice though with a late first-period goal and Kevin O'Toole countered for the Warriors in the second frame. With the game standing a one apiece going into the third period, Warriors LPP Whitney Olsen would find the back of the net just two minutes into the frame. The Lions would respond just a few minutes later though on a Brad Wilson goal to tie it up. Kowloon then took the lead again on a point shot by LPP defenseman Ken Yee that was redirected by Warriors star Jake McDonnell. RBC however would tie it up once again with Brad Wilson's second goal of the evening. In a largely back-and-forth affair, the Warriors totally ran away with the game within the final minute and a half. Kowloon's U18 LPP Lleyton Lam would score the eventual game-winner along with Kevin O'Toole and Jake McDonnell each potting their second markers of the night to seal the deal for the Warriors in a 6-3 victory over the league leaders RBC Lions. Kowloon's Jake McDonnell finished the game with two goals and two assists while Kevin O'Toole and LPP Whitney Olsen would walk away with three points each in the victory. On the other end, Brad Wilson and Jeff Griffin were the bright spots for RBC with each taking away two points in the defeat.

Warriors inch closer to third place with 6-3 win over Aces
February 2nd, 2024 Going into their game against the Kowloon Warriors, the Macau Aces have been the only team that has not lost in the second half of the SCIHL season so far. The Warriors meanwhile are also finding more success in 2024 bolstered by the addition of some strong LPPs into their line up the past few games. Macau drew first blood with just two minutes into the game on a goal by all time Aces scoring leader Whitney Olsen. The Warriors would counter just a few minutes later on a goal by Massachusetts native Kevin O'Toole. Swedish centreman Yosef Natour would regain the lead for the Aces though, sending it past the Warriors LPP goaltender Rudi Bernart just a minute later. With the game's first three goals falling within the first five minutes of the match, we wouldn't have another goal until the nine minute mark of the first frame as Kevin O'Toole would find the back of the net again for the Warrior's equalizer. The Aces would take back the lead once again though on Whitney Olsen's second of the night just less than two minutes after O'Toole's goal. It was a back and forth period in the first frame, however Macau's offense would dry up afterwards. The Warriors would tie the game up in the second period on Hong Kong native and Kowloon LPP Lokel Wong's goal. The Warriors would then take over the lead just shortly after on LPP Connor Daly's marker for a score of 4-3. The Warriors would shut out the Aces once again in the third period while pumping two more goals behind Macau goaltender Craig Gouk with Kevin O'Toole's completion of his hat trick and Lokel Wong's second of the evening. The game would end in a 6-3 victory for the Kowloon Warriors over the Macau Aces. Kevin O'Toole would be the catalyst in the Warriors' victory with three goals and an assist. Additionally LPPs Connor Daly and Lokel Wong would finish with four points as well. Meanwhile, on top of Whitney Olsen's pair of goals for the Aces, Yousef Natour would come away with three points in his team's defeat. This is the first lost for the Aces in 2024 as the Warriors have recently put together some crucial victories in a bid to climb out of the SCIHL basement.

Tycoons still looking for First win of 2024
February 2nd, 2024 With their stars Robbie Schremp and Greg Smyth back in the line up this week, the RBC Lions were looking to rebound from last week's loss to the surging Macau Aces. The Hong Kong Tycoons meanwhile were still looking for their first victory of the new year. Within a turn of the head though, the RBC Lions were up by two in the first two minutes of the game, on goals by Greg Smyth and Nicholas Weberg. The Tycoons would eventually respond with a marker by Jeff Wall late into the first period. However the Lions would regain their two goal lead with Nicholas Weberg potting his second on the night with just 15 seconds left in the first frame. The RBC Lions would carry their momentum into the second period, translating into another three goals, all the while shutting out their opponents in the second frame. Former London Knight Robbie Schremp would put two shots behind Tycoons goaltender Evan Thorpe during the process. Schremp even attempted another lacrosse-style goal during this span, rubbing it in on an outmatched Tycoons squad that was down 6-1 by the end of the second period. As the third period rolled around, the Tycoons proved to still have a bit of life in them however with a goal by stay-at-home defenseman Ken Yee. Hong Kong would put another on the board with LPP Whitney Olsen sending it past Pardubice native Rudi Bernart, putting the game at 6-3 for the Lions. That was all she wrote for the Tycoons though as RBC would put away an additional four goals within the game's final three minutes. The Lion's Nicholas Weberg is keeping up his torrid scoring pace with six points on the evening. Former NHLer Robbie Schremp would come away with five points of his own in the victory, along with U18 Cooper Fang picking up two goals and an assist. On the Tycoon's front, Leon Ruelle continues to be a bright spot for the squad, picking up assists on all three of his team's goals. Canadian Maritime native Jeff Wall would also have three points, finishing with a goal and two assists on the evening. The Hong Kong Tycoons now fall to third place behind the Macau Aces in their 10-3 loss to a strong RBC Lions squad.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 13 Scoreboard
February 2nd, 2024 Mutually beneficial situation With 3 games left in the regular season, but Ice Wolves and Unicorns are fighting to get enough points to secure their places, with Unicorns starting the game 2 points up. A Unicorn win would almost guarantee a spot, while an Ice Wolves win, would keep them on track to lock in a spot. LPP players took the spotlight this game as both teams were missing top players. The game opened with an unassisted goal by Andrew Rueger but was equalized a few minutes later by the Jovi Wat (LPP) Hamish and Finifter line. Towards the end of the period, the Unicorns LPP combo of Theo Wong and Alvin Sham combined to give Unicorns a 2-1 lead after 1. Early in the 2nd, Rick Chu gave Unicorns a 3-1 lead and this held until the 12-minute mark when Jovi again broke thru the defense and put one by Chan. Jackie Chan followed up on the next shift to quickly tie the game at 3. The third was wide open with both teams exchanging chances both sides wanting to secure the win. Theo Wong scored at the 6-minute point but Hamish Pang replied 4 minutes later. The teams played a wild 3 on 3 overtime as there were numerous opportunities including a breakaway stop by Jerome Lui on Rueger before Hamish Pang finally ending it. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 29 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 23 shots. With the game entering OT, both teams gained a valuable point, while Ice Wolves got the extra point for the win and setups up a couple of important games for both teams in the coming weeks. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. Jovi Wat (Ice Wolves LPP) 3. Theo Wong (Unicorns LPP) Staying in the hunt The tables were stacked against YATS Engineers this game against top ranked RBC Lions. YATS are desperately fighting to recover from a dismal start of the season and keep their playoff hopes alive. While RBC already secured their playoff spot last week and were only playing to secure the regular season top spot. It began with an evenly played period with lots of chances for both teams but only Danny Chiu scoring towards the end of the first to give a slender 1-0 lead to RBC. The 2nd started off with a Charles Liu unassisted goal before YATS took full control of the period and earning 2 goals. One from Robert Chiu, another powerful clapper, and a gritty rebound goal by Shane Weir to tie the game at 2. At this point, YATS outshot RBC 15-4 in the 2nd period alone, but Keira Mok was up to the task. Against the run of play, just as the period was winding down, Jovi Wat got free and past the YATS defense and wired a shot by Stephanie Fok to regain the lead. 3-2. RBC regrouped and shuffled their lines in the 3rd, and it became quite exciting for the fans. The teams exchanged 7 goals. Justin Kuok with 2, Brendon Lui with a short side laser, and Theo Wong tallying for YATS while Charles Liu completed his hattrick and Wat his 2nd. Kuok’s 2nd came with just 28 seconds remaining to get YATS into overtime. Unfortunately for YATS, that was it, as in the 3 on 3 overtime, there was too much open ice and Jovi Wat broke by and scored 5-hole on Fok as he fanned on the shot to complete his hattrick and give RBC the win. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 29 shots, while Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 23 shots. RBC with the win now only needs 1 point from their remaining 2 games to secure top spot for the playoffs, while YATS remains 4 points out of a playoff spot with 2 games remaining. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 2. Charles Liu (RBC Lions) 3. Justin Kuok (YATS Engineers) Business as usual AsiaXpat has been having some inconsistent handful of games after their dominant start to the season with JOG continues to struggle to play a full 60 finding ways to lose in the 3rd period the past number of games. This game though, AsiaXpat looked like the Xpat team at the start of the season as they fully controlled the game and were dominant on the puck. Xpat opened with 2 goals in the first from Sham and Justin Wong, with Justin getting a second goal midway thru the 2nd period. An opening goal in the 3rd by Jason Yip gave JOG some hope making it 3-1 but a powerplay goal by Michael Lam followed by Allan Yee and Wong completing his hattrick put the game away before captain Bruce Hicks finished a play from Mark Uhrynuk and Jason Yip to round out the scoring. Neddy Chan (JOG LPP) faced 27 shots while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) had a quiet night facing 10 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 3. Paul Chai (AsiaXpat) UPCOMING GAMES - February 22 @ Mega Ice Game 1: Wolves vs Unicorns @ 8:30pm Game 2: YATS vs Lions @ 9:30pm Game 3: JOG vs AsiaXpat @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

Warriors net 11 as Tycoons stay winless in 2024
January 26th, 2024 With losses in their first two games of 2024, the Hong Kong Tycoons were looking to get back to their winning ways. While the Kowloon Warriors, dead last in the SCIHL standings, were just simply looking for a win period. On top of that, the Warriors are still without their goaltender Antoine Devolz, out indefinitely with a knee injury. After riding on LPP Ray Loo the past few games, the team then turned towards thirteen year old goaltender Rexton Chui for their match against the Tycoons. Perhaps some early jitters were present as the Tycoon's Francis Lam sniped one past the Warriors LPP goalie. Kowloon wouldn't let their young tendy hang out to dry however as they countered with two straight goals by LPP Nicholas Weberg and Brian Knowles. Former NCAA D3 star Connor Quinn would tie it up for Hong Kong but the Warriors would counter with two more goals to close out the period, off the twigs of Kosuke Ikeda and Weberg's second of the game. With the second period sitting at 4-2 for the Warriors, the goals kept on coming with tallies by Kevin O'Toole, Mitchell Wong and Weberg's third goal of the match. On the other end, the Tycoons were only able to muster two markers, with Francis Lam's second of the game and Leon Ruelle's first of the evening. With the game sitting at 7-4 for the Warriors in the third period, the Tycoons were just simply unable to match the Warriors' attack. The Tycoons valiantly registered three more goals in the final period with Francis Lam's third goal, veteran Jeff Wall's tally and Ruelle's second of the night. But that wasn't enough as the Kowloon Warriors put another four goals on the board, on goals by O'Toole's second of the night, LPP Jesse Lussier and star defenseman David Belluche's pair of goals late in the third period capping the game with a 11-7 victory over the Hong Kong Tycoons. Rexton Chui, the thirteen year old LPP goaltender for the Kowloon Warriors would come away with his first ever SCIHL victory with 39 saves on the evening. Another Warrior LPP Nicholas Weberg would end the match with an astounding eight points. Incredibly, all but one of the Kowloon skaters would register at least one point in the game. Meanwhile, Francis Lam would continue to be an offensive threat with a hat trick and Leon Ruelle would walk away with three points in the Tycoon's defeat.

Aces streak reaches 4 as they knock off 1st place Lions
January 26th 2024 In a showdown between the RBC Lions and the Macau Aces, we had two teams that had not loss a game during 2024. The Lions have retained their league lead throughout virtually the entire season so far while the Aces have been recently surging up the standings. The Aces got off to a fantastic start with two markers on the backs of Lucas Eshleman and Timmy Henglein respectively. The Lions would respond however near the end of the first frame on a goal by Nicholas Weberg. The former Yale Bulldog Weberg would find the back of the net again, tying up the game with just 46 seconds in the second period. The Aces would regain their lead however, scoring four unanswered goals by LPP Kosuke Ikeda, native Hong Konger John Ng and Lucas Eshleman potting another two goals to round out his hat trick. Nicholas Weberg would then round out a hatty of his own with just 20 seconds left in the second frame. The Aces would score the last goal of the game off the stick of LPP Dave Belluche in the third period and close out the game at 7-3 over the RBC Lions. The Lions were without their stars Greg Smyth and Edmonton Oilers legend Robbie Schremp in the loss. On top of Weberg's hat trick, Pennsylvania native Brad Wilson contributed with two assists for RBC. Meanwhile, former Maritime Junior Hockey League star Lucas Eshleman closed out the evening with five points in total while LPPs Dave Belluche, Kosuke Ikeda and Aces regular Yosef Natour each came away with three points on the night.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 12 Scoreboard
January 26th, 2024 Hat's everywhere! Ice Wolves were looking to solidify their spot for the playoffs while JOG was looking to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. A late line up change for JOG saw Scotty Yang donning the pads once again replacing Loron Orris in goal who pulled out with an undisclosed lower body injury. While Ice Wolves picked up Jovi Wat and Calix Ma with a depleted lineup. And it was Jovi (LPP) who welcomed Yang back just 14 seconds into the game when Hamish Pang passed to him from the corner, finding Wat all along in front as he picked the top corner to start the game. A few minutes later, Calix Ma doubled the lead, before Pang found himself on a breakaway on the very next faceoff, making no mistake. Hugo Fan responded for JOG, and shortly after, scored his second after Donald Chow picked the pockets of Pang behind the net and centered to Fan who then backhanded it past Jerome Lui. 3-2 after the 1st. Early in the 2nd, it was Fan again shotting top corner glove side from the slot to tie the game at 3 and completing his hattrick. However, Ice Wolves rolled off 5 consecutive goals between the Pang and Wat line, both completing their own hattricks, along with a Jasper Chow backhand goal, to blow the game wide open. 9-3 after 2 periods. The teams exchanged goals in the 3rd, with Wat (LPP) getting his 4th, and Fan also getting his 4th to round out the scoring. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 20 shots while Scott Yang (JOG Sports) faced 30 shots. With the loss, JOG becomes the first team eliminated from the playoffs this season with 3 games remaining in the regular season. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. Jovi Wat (Ice Wolves LPP) 3. Karl Mok (RBC Lions) Youth movement A potential playoff preview between top seed RBC Lions and 3rd place Unicorns heading into the last stretch of the season pitting the team defense of the Unicorns against the speed and skill of the young RBC Lion’s first line. RBC Lion’s Jovi Wat started early after quick pass from Karl Mok freed up Wat who scored top corner blocker side just a minute and a half in. Edwin Lau responded for the Unicorns midway thru the period before Danny Chiu and Jovi with his 2nd made it 3-1 after the first. The 2nd period was well fought as the Unicorns limited the potent Lion’s offense, the line of Karl Mok, Jovi Wat, and Calix Ma were dangerous throughout the period, but Arthur Chan held the fort as the Unicorns were outshot 9-3 in the 2nd, to keep them in the game. But they couldn’t keep playing with fire. Karl Mok scored in the first minute of the 3rd, before Jovi scored the next 4, to give him a double hattrick on the night and putting the game away. Rick Chu got a late goal for the Unicorns, but it was too little too late. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 18 shots, while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 26 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 2. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 3. Karl Mok (RBC Lions) Keeping the pressure on The game between AsiaXpat and YATS Engineers was important for YATS to win in order to stay in the race for the last playoff spot. Xpat’s are currently 1 point away from securing their playoff spot. The first period was heavily in favour of Xpat as they spend 90% of the time in the YATS zone. YATS could not clear the puck and was bottled in most of the first period, but were able to limit the shots on net, and miraculously ended the first 0-0. The possession trend and tight checking continued until Theo Wong fired a wrist shot that found its way past Martin Jim to open the scoring early in the 2nd. Towards the end of the period, Rob Chu cut across the slot and fired a slapshot against the grain through a screen into the top corner to give YATS a 2-0 lead. Jason Wong putting his own rebound in on the powerplay to start the 3rd made it 3-0. The rest of the period, it looked like the Unicorns on the ice as YATS continued to frustrate the Xpat line up. Stephanie Fok (YATS) gets the shutout stopping all 13 shots while Martin Jim (Asiaxpat) faced 28 shots. The YATS win keeps them within 2 points of the Ice Wolves for the remaining playoff spot, while AsiaXpat remains in 2nd. Three Stars of the game: 1. Stephanie Fok (YATS Engineers) 2.

Aces Climb into Second Place after 8-7 Victory over Tycoons
January 19th 2024 After starting 2024 with a loss, the Hong Kong Tycoons were looking to rebound against the Macau Aces whom conversely started off the new year with a victory last week. In largely a back and forth affair, the game was tied two a piece to end the first period. The Tycoons' Connor Quinn had two goals while the Aces' Whitney Olsen had two points going into the second period. The Tycoons opened the scoring in the second frame on a goal by Cathay pilot Jimi Fanstone; one of his three points on the evening. However the Aces answered back and taking the lead on goals by Mark Hinch and Timmy Henglein. The Tycoons would tied it up close to the four minute mark though with their newest acquisition Leon Ruelle. But the Aces would regain the lead with just two seconds left in the second period on Whitney Olsen's second tally of the game. All of this built up towards what would prove to be quite an exciting third and final frame. Heading into the third with a 5-4 lead, the Aces built upon it with another two goals by Swede Yosef Natour and Calgary native Lucas Eshleman respectively. The latter player was essentially gifted his tally by LPP Tycoons goaltender Marco Au misplaying the puck, landing on Eshleman's blade then into the back of the net. Down by three at this point, the Tycoons refused to pack it in as they countered with two markers of their own to pull within one, on goals by Francis Lam and Jimi Fanstone's second of the night. However the Aces would stem the Tycoons' surge with Lucas Eshleman's completion of his hat trick. Despite that, the Tycoons would pot a goal with just two minutes remaining in the third and were on full attack with their goalie pulled. Nevertheless the Macau Aces would hang on and close the game with a tight and thrilling victory of 8-7 over the Hong Kong Tycoons.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 11 Scoreboard
January 19th, 2024 Need a conditioning stint This game looked like an easy game. RBC at the top of the table vs JOG Sports in a 7-game slide, but it was anything but. The first period was a tight-checking affair with JOG outshooting RBC 7-4, but it was Calix Ma who got the lone goal RBC leading 1-0 after 1. It looked like the return of Gary Lawrence made a difference as it shored up the JOG defense. In the 2nd, JOG continued the tight-checking game and was able to capitalize on their chances. Gavino Ng’s long pass behind the RBC defense hitting a streaking Donald Chow who then went in on a 2 on 0 with Brendon Lui (JOG LPP) who one-timed a shot just over the pad and under the blocker to tie the game 1-1. A few minutes later, Chow came in from the right boards past 3 RBC players only to be stopped by Keira Mok, but the rebound fell to Chris Lam, who was johnny on the spot to put it into the empty net. 2-1 JOG. Then, an individual effort from Lui as he deked past 2 d-men cut across the net and slotted it by Mok to give JOG a 3-1 lead with 4 minutes remaining in the 2nd. A few minutes later, Charles Liu replies with a mirror image goal of Brendon’s to get back within 1. 3-2 after 2 periods for JOG. JOG continued to limit RBC’s offense as they outshot RBC 7-3 in the 2nd period. The fans were anticipating an upset given how well JOG was playing, but just a minute in, Jovi Wat skated in, protecting the puck well, and outwitting Loron Orris to score into the open side tying the game at 3. Calix Ma then finished a backdoor pass from Karl Mok to take the lead 5 minutes later opening the floodgates as JOG ran out of gas in the 3rd period. RBC then scored 4 more goals, 3 more from Wat, and Calix Ma completed his hattrick as RBC’s 7 unanswered goals were too much for JOG. RBC outshot JOG 16-6 in the 3rd as they finally broke down JOG’s defense. Keira Mok (RBC) faced 20 shots while Loron Orris (JOG Sports) faced 24 shots. JOG’s winless streak is now at 8 games, while RBC sits alone on top of the league. Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3. Karl Mok (RBC Lions) The best defense is a good offense AsiaXpat and Ice Wolves, both teams missing a key player for long stretches of time, Mark Pavey for AsiaXpat, and Chris Wettling for Ice Wolves. Only 4 points separated the 2 teams heading into the game. With AsiaXpat controlling the run of play, Neil Ng finished off a play with Alvin Sham and Paul Chai giving Xpat the lead. 10 minutes into the game, Rob Chiu (LPP) walks by the Ice Wolves defense and scores stick side on the breakaway. The period looked to end 2-0, but Hamish Pang put away a rebound from a David Finifter shot with under a minute left to keep it close. But just 30 seconds into the 2nd period, Justin Wong gets an opportunity on the net and puts in short side to regain the lead. Late in the period, a cross-crease pass from Sham gets to Justin Wong, as he does a 360-degree spin before controlling the puck to score on the open side. With 45 seconds left in the 2nd, Sham gets his 25th goal this season to give Xpat a dominant 5-1 lead. Sean Tong opened the scoring early in the 3rd period to give Ice Wolves some hope, but Chai scored on the powerplay to restore the 4-goal lead. Warren Ang tallied by again Xpat responded with a goal by Jimmy Thai. Xpat then held the fort until the last 7 seconds when Ang scored his second, but it was too little too late. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 24 shots, while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 22 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Paul Chai (AsiaXpat) 3. Warren Ang (Ice Wolves) Trying to hang around The last time the Unicorns and YATS Engineers met, YATS outshot the Unicorns 30-9 but lost 3-2. So, YATS were looking to do a bit better with their chances. And that’s exactly what they did. Robert Chiu started the night off with a powerplay goal, a powerful slapshot up near the crossbar. A minute later, Theo Wong skated down the right boards and wired a wrist shot to the far corner to make it 2-0. 50 seconds after that, Ernst Tang made a similar play to Wong to make it 3-0. Chiu rounded out the scoring with 30 seconds left in the period after intercepting an errant pass and putting in a rebound after a few attempts. 4-0 after the first. Early in the 2nd, Bonnie Lui stole the puck when the Unicorns couldn’t clear, and worked a 2-on-1 with Brendon Lui who waited for Chan to go down before scoring to make it 5-0. Midway into the 2nd, Leon Mo finally responded for the Unicorns after stealing the puck and firing one top-corner glove side. After YATS broke up a passing play, an unlucky bounce put the puck back on Andrew Rueger’s stick in the slot and he made no mistake with the gift, closing the score to 5-2. Wong then came in on the left, cut into the middle, and scored inside the post-stick side to restore a 4-goal lead. Mo then cut down the right side and passed from the corner to an unmarked Grant Phillips who scored bar down to make it 6-3. With 6 minutes left in the 3rd, Mo was able to put the puck by Fok, but it sat on the goal line as YATs successfully cleared the puck and the ensuing mayhem. With 3 minutes left, Phillips scored again, this time from an ‘impossible angle’ from the corner of the rink, the puck just in front of the red line after a rebound from a Leon Mo shot found him in the corner. 6-4 and made the remaining 3 minutes interesting as Unicorns tried to pull the game back. However, the early lead from YATS proved to be enough to hang on for the win. Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 17 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 28 shots. YATS Engineers pulls 2 points closer to the Ice Wolves for the remaining playoff spot, while the Unicorns remain in 3rd. Three Stars of the game: 1. Brendon Lui (YATS Engineers) 2. Theo Wong (YATS Engineers) 3. Robert Chiu (YATS Engineers) UPCOMING GAMES - January 25 @ Mega Ice Game 1: Wolves vs JOG @ 8:30pm Game 2: Lions vs Unicorns @ 9:30pm Game 3: AsiaXpat vs YATS @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

Aces Score 4 Unanswered in 3rd to Power Past Warriors 7-5
January 12th 2024 Coming into the second half of the SCIHL Division 1 season, the Kowloon Warriors were hoping to turn their season around and finally get out of the league's basement. However they were facing an arduous climb as their goaltender Antoine Devolz announced back in late December that he will be out indefinitely with a knee injury. Enter Ray Loo, the undrafted veteran goaltender suiting up for the Warriors, on his birthday no less. In his lone game this season as an LPP goaltender, ironically he beat the Warriors just a month ago and the 57 year old Loo was looking to secure another victory. The Macau Aces had other thoughts in mind though as they got on the board within the first few minutes of the opening frame. The Aces began the early months of the season sitting in second place in the SCIHL standings and were overtaken by the surging Hong Kong Tycoons thereafter. Looking to get back to their winning ways, the Aces' Lucas Eshleman put Macau up by two going into the second period. The Kowloon Warriors would not fold that easily though as they exploded with four goals in the second period, with British Columbia native Jake McDonnell and Middlebury College alum Dave Belluche coming out of the period with 2 and 3 points respectively. With the Warriors carrying a 4-3 lead into the third period, the Aces responded in kind, potting four goals of their own in the final frame. When all was said and done, the back and forth game fell in favour for the Macau Aces with a 7-5 victory over the Kowloon Warriors. Along with Calgary native Lucas Eshleman, power forward Matt Nuttal, Swedish centre Yosef Natour and American International College Alum Whitney Olsen also took home three points for the Aces. Former Halifax Moosehead Jesse Lussier also chipped in with two goals for his team's victory.

Lions come from behind and down Tycoons 8-6
January 12th 2024 With the mid season break over, the SCIHL got back into full swing with the first game of 2024 between the RBC Lions and the Hong Kong Tycoons. The Lions had slowly been losing their hold of first place in the SCIHL while the Tycoons had been inching up trying to advance past second place in the standings. The game started well for the Tycoons with the team scoring three unanswered goals, the first two of which by veteran Scott Strickland and the third by American Connor Quinn. Former NHLer Robbie Schremp would counter for RBC though with a snipe top corner on Tycoons goaltender and HK native Evan Thorpe. The teams traded goals in the late minutes of the first period with Scott Strickland's hat trick, followed by a Lions goal by the all-time leading scorer of the CIHL Greg Smyth, before closing out the frame with a Tycoon lead of 4-2. The second period was a bit more even with both teams potting two goals each. Former NCAA Division 1 national champion Nicholas Weberg took a feed on a pass from Greg Smyth and chipped a backhander over the shoulder of Evan Thorpe within the first minute of the second period. The Lion's Greg Smyth then scored to even up the game just a few minutes later. The Tycoons would not be outdone though as they regained the lead, with goals by their newest full-time addition, Frenchman Leon Ruelle, along with Scott Strickland's fourth goal of the evening. This lead would diminish for the Tycoons however as the RBC Lions completely took over in the final period. The Lions opened up the third-period scoring during a power play, with Greg Smyth dishing a nifty pass over to Jeff Griffin who was creeping back door, reducing their deficit by one. Former New York Islander Robbie Schremp would then score the game-tying and go-ahead goals respectively for RBC, with Nicolas Weberg sealing the deal on an empty-netter in the final seconds of the game. Despite the loss, Tycoon veteran Scott Strickland who came into the game with just 4 points, doubled his season scoring totals with a 4-goal night. Mississauga native Francis Lam also had a huge game, taking away 5 assists from the contest. Meanwhile SCIHL scoring leader Robbie Schremp along with Norwegian Nicolas Weberg each had 6 points on the evening for the Lions. RBC holds on to first place in the league to start the new year with an 8-6 victory over the Hong Kong Tycoons.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 10 Scoreboard
January 12th, 2024 Congested at the top The first game of 2024 saw 2 of the top teams facing off. Unicorns entered the game 1 point up on Asiaxpat and were hoping to open some space in the standings. However, AsiaXpat came out of the blocks flying. The first 5 minutes of the game was pretty much all in the Unicorns zone as the Xpat players buzzed the net and had numerous chances to score only to have something get blocked, or Arthur Chan making an excellent save to keep it scoreless. The Unicorns first real opportunity came when Leon Mo tried attacking the net but was thwarted by Keira Mok (LPP) standing in for Martin Jim. In the same sequence, the puck bounced out to the top of the left faceoff circle where Grant Phillips walked in and wired a slap shot top corner glove side to open the scoring against the run of play and the only goal in the first period. The second period started with the Unicorns on a powerplay which Leon Mo capitalized making it 2-0 early in the 2nd. The rest of the period continued in similar fashion as the first period as the Unicorn team defense continued to frustrate the Xpat players and keeping their clean sheet. With the zone time lopsidedly in AsiaXpat’s favor, they finally broke thru at the 12-minute mark of the 3rd as Paul Chai finished a nice play from Justin Wong and Neil Ng. The game remained 3-1 until the last 3 minutes when the Unicorns took a penalty allowing Justin Wong to score a powerplay goal giving them some life. On the next shift, AsiaXpat completed the comeback to tie the game as Alvin Sham made no mistake and tied the game. In overtime, Sham had a good individual chance to finish the game but was tripped by Mo putting Xpat on the powerplay. It took only 9 seconds for Sham to score the OT game-winner off the faceoff completing the comeback and snatching the win from the Unicorns. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 28 shots while Keira Mok (Asiaxpat LPP) faced 14 shots. The OT win by AsiaXpat, 1 point gained by Unicorns moved them into a 3-way tie for first ahead of RBC playing their game. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Leon Mo (Unicorns) Finding their defensive game New year, new system? It looked like a very different Ice Wolves team in 2024 as they stormed out of the gate vs top-seed RBC Lions and took the play to them, while limiting the odd man rushes that RBC used to burn them in previous games. Hamish Pang opened the scoring in the low slot as his shot ramped up off an RBC defender and beat Keira Mok to the short side. Although the teams exchanged chances, it looked like it was going to be a 1-0 period until Danny Chiu finished off a broken play with Christopher Lee and Fabrizio Fatia and shot short side to tie the game with just 4 seconds remaining in the first. There was no scoring in the second in a very evenly played period where both teams had limited chances on net. 9 minutes into the 3rd, Jovi Wat broke the tie. In the remaining 9 minutes, Ice Wolves put the pressure on, and with just 48 seconds remaining Jacky Chan tied the game and we had our 2nd OT game of the new year. OT solved nothing and we had our first shootout of the season where Calix Ma scored the only goal giving RBC Lions the win and regaining first in the division. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 14 shots, while Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) 2. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 3. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) Going in different directions After 2 defensive games, it was the 2 bottom feeders turn. YATS Engineering were one point back of JOG Sports. Were we going to see another low-scoring defensive-minded game? It looked like it in the first as the teams both looked rusty to start the period. Theo Wong opened the scoring at the 9-minute mark firing from the high slot past a screened Loron Orris, returning from LTIR. Gavino Ng replied for JOG on the powerplay as he took a cross-ice pass from Hugo Fan at centre ice and calmly walked in and scored 5-hole on Keira Mok (LPP) as the defenders were nowhere to be found. Theo Wong scored his 2nd of the night after he caught the JOG defense too far apart and he fired top corner stick side with 30 seconds left in the first. 2-1 YATS after 1. In the 2nd, YATS’ Justin Kuok and JOG’s Hugo Fan exchanged goals before YATS exploded for the next 6 goals. Wong completed his hattrick, followed by Brendon Lui, Kuok with his 2nd, Eugene Wong with a goal from the blue line, and Wong again with his 4th of the night before Brendon Lui also scored his 2nd putting the game away. Jason Yip scored a short-handed goal with a minute remaining in the 3rd, but it was too little too late. Keira Mok (YATS LPP) faced 14 shots while Loron Orris (JOG Sports) faced 25 shots. With the win, YATS leapfrogs JOG into 5th place and 4 points away from Ice Wolves for the last playoff spot. JOG Sports has now lost 7 in a row. Three Stars of the game: 1.

Jeff Wall 5-points helps Tycoons down Warriors 7-3
December 14th, 2023 Sitting in second place, the Hong Kong Tycoons entered their latest game against the Kowloon Warriors still without some of their top players. On top of their studs Connor Quinn, Jimi Fanstone and Jonny Szychta, the Tycoons were also without their top goaltender Evan Thorpe. In a Cinderella story of sorts, veteran Ray Loo, whom went undrafted during this year's SCIHL draft answered the call for Hong Kong as their LPP goalie for the evening. It didn't look great for the CDNIS science teacher in the beginning though as the Warriors potted a goal in the first period's only goal. However the Tycoons rallied behind “Ray Ray” as they scored four consecutive goals carrying a 4-1 lead into the early minutes of the third period. During that span, HK native and Oxford graduate Connor Daly took the charge scoring two of his three goals on the night. The Warriors were simply stymied by the Tycoon's offense and tendacious forecheck. The latter was simply playing their hearts out for their veteran LPP goaltender and Loo returned the favour by making several key saves on Warriors stud defenseman Dave Belluche and LPP star Jesse Lussier. The Hong Kong Tycoons capped off the night with a decisive victory over the Kowloon Warriors, with the final score of 7-3. Along Daly's four points, Jeff Wall had a spectacular night with a hat trick and two assists, while Missisuage native Francis Lam chipped in with three helpers of his own. The Hong Kong Tycoons are still sitting in second place in the SCIHL standings and are quietly creeping up on the league leading RBC Lions.

Aces knock off 1st place Lions for early Xmas gift!
December 14th, 2023 The RBC Lions have been sitting comfortably atop the SCIHL standings since the season began. The Macau Aces however are trying to climb back into second place in the SCIHL after being overtaken by the Hong Kong Tycoons a few weeks ago. The Aces were off to a great start in their game against the Lions as Macau took a two goal lead into the second period. In fact, the Aces never lost their lead the entire game and the result was a 6-3 victory over the RBC Lions. Ottawa native and former Halifax Moosehead Jesse Lussier had 3 points, as did Aces LPP Dave Belluche in the team's victory. On the other end, RBC Lions U18 player Cooper Fang potted two goals in the losing effort.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 9 Scoreboard
December 14th, 2023 Wishing everyone a festive and joyous holiday season! SCIHL will return on 11 January 2024. Early playoff spot battle An important game for both teams, YATS Engineers looking to close the gap on 4th place Ice Wolves to 1 point if they can win, and Ice Wolves looking to extend the gap to 5. This turned out to be a very entertaining game as teams exchanged goals and leads throughout the game. Jasper Chow started the scoring in the first, with YATS responding shortly after, and ending in a 3-2 lead for Ice Wolves after 1. The trend continued as YATS equalized to start the 2nd, for Pang to retake the lead, then 2 from YATS to take a 5-4 lead before Pang with his hattrick goal, tied it at 5 to end the 2nd period. Warren Ang put away a late powerplay goal to make it 6-5 Ice Wolves, before Brendon equalized at 6 with his own hattrick goal. With just over 2 minutes remaining, YATS had the powerplay and looked to have a great chance to take the lead and the game late, but Pang had other ideas as Jasper Chow broke up the play in their zone and fed Pang who fired by the defense into the top corner for a short-handed game winner as YATS were unable to respond with the man advantage. 7-6 final score for Ice Wolves. Sumi Chau (YATS - LPP) faced 23 shots while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 28 shots. The win puts Ice Wolves firmly in 4th spot, while keeping YATS on the bottom and 5 points out of a playoff spot. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. Brendon Lui (YATS Engineers) 3. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) Game for top spot RBC Lions and AsiaXpat have been tied for the league lead for several weeks now, with AsiaXpat winning the previous head-to-head encounter. The first period was a chess match with play even on both sides, but both goalies looking sharp to keep the game 0-0. It was Alvin Sham getting the first goal of the game early in the 2nd period on a nice interplay between Sham, Jason Yip (LPP), and Justin Wong. It took a few minutes before Eric Pang evened the game with a seeing eye shot from the outside that found its way past a startled Martin Jim in goal for AsiaXpat, followed by Jovi Wat scoring his first after receiving a breakout pass from Charles Liu to close out the 2nd period 2-1 for RBC. In the 3rd, with RBC on the powerplay, Wat pounced on a turnover and made no mistake to make it 3-1, while late in the game, AsiaXpat had a powerplay to close the score only for Charles Liu to score a short-handed marker to put the game away. 4-1 final for the Lions who take sole ownership of top spot heading into the holiday break. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 24 shots, while Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 20 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Charles Liu (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3. Eric Pang (RBC Lions) Going in different directions JOG Sportswear entered the game on a 5-game slide but having scored 23 goals during that span, so it wasn’t a lack of scoring, just some defensive lapses have cost them games. While on the other side, the Unicorns were on a 2-game win streak looking to extend and move into 2nd position with a win. The top line of for JOG continued to score, this time with Jason Yip opening the scoring from Gavino Ng and Hugo Fan. But this was answered quickly by Tracy Wong who was in dominant form this game. As the game looked to end the first in a tie, Jovi Wat (Unicorns LPP) was able to score his first on the powerplay after a nice feed from Leon Mo to give Unicorns a 2-1 lead after 1. The teams exchanged goals in the 2nd period, again Yip for JOG and Wat for Unicorns, 3-2 Unicorns after 2 in a much tighter period. Something must have happened during the intermission as that tight defensive play seemed to go away in the 3rd and we had a 7-goal explosion. Donald Chow and Hugo Fan both scoring to regain the lead: 4-3, before Mo and Wat responding to retake the lead 5-4. With 2.5 minutes remaining, Michael Lam tied it up at 5 before Wat scored from behind the goal line banking a puck off the back of Martin Jim (JOG LPP) to regain the lead. For the 3rd game tonight, the trailing team had the powerplay and a golden chance to tie the game, only for a short-handed goal to be scored to kill their hopes. This time, it was Mo and Wat again on a 2 on 0 breakaway, with Mo finishing the last touch to give the Unicorns a 7-5 win and extending their win streak to 3 games, while JOG take a 6-game losing streak into the break. Martin Jim (JOG LPP) faced 23 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 22 shots. The Unicorns win puts them into 2nd place heading into the break leapfrogging AsiaXpat. Three Stars of the game: 1. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 2. Jovi Wat-LPP (Unicorns) 3.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 8 Scoreboard
December 8th, 2023 Back down to earth RBC Lions came in tonight tied with AsiaXpat for first, while YATS are coming off a 2-game win streak for their initial points of the season after taking out AsiaXpat last game and were looking to do the same this week with RBC. It looked like it was going according to plan as YATS were able to keep up and contain RBC like they did with AsiaXpat the game before, coming out of the first period tied 2-2. RBC goals by Charles Liu and Jovi Wat, and YATS responding from Corey Ng and Robert Chiu. The 2nd period continued in a similar vein after Jovi helped RBC take the lead, only for Justin Kuok to tie it again for YATS. Looking good still compared to the last time YATS played RBC. But some sloppy play in their own end near the end of the second allowed Jacky Wu to intercept a clearing pass up the middle, and then Calix Ma had a nice top corner finish to give RBC a lead they were not going to give up again. 4-3 after 2 periods. YATS seemed to be out of gas in the 3rd, although they had a similar number of shots compared to RBC, they were mainly from outside not testing Keira Mok much, while RBC’s shots were all high danger zone chances as Wat completed his hattrick and Charles Liu doubled up with his 2nd of the night to round out the scoring. The loss keeps YATS on the bottom, and RBC Lions at the top of the standings before AsiaXpat’s game later in the evening. Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 21 shots while Keira Mok (RBC Lions) encountered 18 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 2. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 3. Charles Liu (RBC Lions) Separation from the pack The game between Unicorns and Ice Wolves featured the 3rd and 4th placed teams in the division. An important 4-point swing game as if Ice Wolves could win, they would tie Unicorns for 3rd, while a Unicorns win will create a 4-point gap between them. It started out well for the Unicorns as they controlled the first, continuing to hone their defensive game, limiting Ice Wolves to only 2 shots in the first period while they had 8 of their own, with Tracy Wong getting one by Jerome Lui early, followed by Andrew Rueger doubling up. 2-0 after the first. The chances in the 2nd were much more even as Hamish Pant was not to be kept off the board as he broke thru right off the opening faceoff to close the score 2-1. Grant Phillips then walked into a puck blasting one past Lui to regain a 2-goal lead, until John Wade found a rebound to close the gap once again. With a powerplay, Ice Wolves were pressing to get the tying goal, until Phillips hit Rick Chu with a clearing pass, and Chu showed some power moves cutting across the crease and roofing a puck with his backhand to tally a shorthanded goal giving the crucial 2 goal lead back to the Unicorns. 4-2 after 2 period. Pang once again forced his way thru multiple times, only to just miss the net, or be blocked by yet another shin pad from the Unicorns until he got his second with just over 6 minutes remaining scoring stick side on Arthur Chan. With the crowd sensing a comeback, the Unicorns, quarterbacked by Phillips displayed a master class in puck control as they killed the game by using the full ice, passing back to their own zone, going D to D, then up the right boards to Leon Mo, across the offensive blue line to Kiu Lee or Tracy Wong, and then repeat, essentially eating over 5 minutes of the remaining time by playing keep away. Kui Lee rounded out the scoring with an empty net marker. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 18 shots, while Jerome Lui faced 23 shots as the Unicorns open a 4-point gap between 3rd and 4th spots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Rick Chu (Unicorns) 2. Kiu Lee (Unicorns) 3. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) Next goal wins This was a weird one. With both teams 5 of the leagues top scorers in the game, and both starting goalies away, you knew there were going to be goals. But no one could have expected what transpired. It took just 2 minutes into the game for Hugo Fan to score the first goal, then 3 more minutes for him to get a natural hattrick in less than 5 minutes with 2 top corner shots, and one from the high slot thru 3 players past screened Sumi Chau (AsiaXpat LPP). That seemed to wake up Xpat’s Alvin Sham, who responded a couple of minutes later with a 5-hole deke after taking a nice pass in the slot making it 3-1. He then setup Neil Ng with a nice pass from behind the net as Ng came in from the point to get it to 3-2 to end the first period. Just like the first period, early on, it was all Fan again as he started off with another goal, getting the inside post and having it roll in. After significant pressure by Xpat and Sham missing a semi-break, and Paul Chai also missing an empty net on the rebound, JOG broke out with a pass to Fan, who flew down the left side then fired far side past Chau to get his 5th goal. He then repeats it a few minutes later with his 6th goal, this time from the right side. 6-2 JOG Sports with 6 minutes left in the 2nd. Xpat finally responded as Captain Chai finished a nice pass from sideboards from Sham finding Chai in the slot to put glove side on Virginia Wong (JOG LPP) to make it 6-3, followed by Sham moving in 1 on 1 as he then cut in and fires by Wong to make 6-4 to close the 2nd period. Justin Wong got Xpat closer 2 minutes into the 3rd, before Sham scored again to tie the game at 6-6. Only for Jason Yip to respond for JOG on the next shift as he went 1 on 1 with the defense and went top glove picking the corner to put JOG back in front 7-6. A minute later, Sham responded with a slap shot to the right-side top corner to tie it up again before Michael Lam skated down the right side of the rink, past 3 defenders, and then passed across the crease to a wide-open Paul Chai to score into a gapping ne making it 8-7. Patrick Costello rounds out the scoring after he collected the rebound off a Justin Wong shot that hit the back back boards. Final score a 9-7 come from behind nailbiter win for AsiaXpat, while leaving Fan and JOG GM Scott Yang wondering how they were going to end the 5 game-losing streak. Virginia Wong (JOG LPP) faced 30 shots while Sumi Chau (AsiaXpat LPP) faced 25 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Hugo Fan (JOG Sports) 3. Paul Chai (AsiaXpat) UPCOMING GAMES - December 7 @ Mega Ice Game 1: Wolves vs YATS @ 8:30pm Game 2: Lions vs AsiaXpat @ 9:30pm Game 3: JOG vs Unicorns @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 7 Scoreboard
December 1st, 2023 Momentum swings Both JOG Sports and Ice Wolves entered the game with 5 points each and tied for the 4th playoff spot, while last time these 2 teams met, Ice Wolves won in a close 5-4 game. And goals were expected with the 2 teams combining to have 5 of the top 12 scoring leaders. And the goals started early. Just 1.5 minutes in, Art Tam dumped the puck out as Charles Liu (JOG LPP) raced past the Ice Wolves D and beat Jerome Lui thru the 5 hole to opening the scoring. 4 minutes later, Gavino Ng wins the puck off a defensive faceoff and makes a hard pass up the left boards to a streaking Liu as he cut across the D and put the puck in on the inside post. Just a few minutes later, Ng fed Art Tam backdoor, but he missed the open net as he hit the post. Ice Wolves narrowly avoiding being down 3-0 early. After a toomany- men penalty taken by JOG, the Ice Wolves closed the score to 2-1 as Warren Ang picked up the rebound to fire his first by Martin Jim (JOG LPP). 2-1 after the first. Right off the faceoff in the 2nd period, Ang scores his 2nd of the night as he picked up his own rebound and fired one in the slot beating Jim 5-hole for his 2nd. Ice Wolves then beat out an icing call as the JOG D forgot they needed to skate back for the icing to be called, and after 2 initial stops by Jim, the puck found Pang cruising down main street and fired it past Jim’s stick side. On the ensuing shift, Pang again makes the play as he wins the puck in the corner, then puts a hard pass across the crease to find Jackie Chan on the doorstep to put it away. 5 in a row for Ice Wolves to take the lead 5-2 after going down 2-0 early. But instead of folding, JOG’s Art Tam powered in and one handed a pass to Alan Lui in front of the net who placed it under the blocker and over Lui’s pad to get one back with 2 min remaining before Donald Chow made an incredible solo effort to go end to end and score short side to close out the 2nd period. Ice Wolves leading 5-4. Right off the opening faceoff, a beautiful 3 way passing play between Ng Tam and Hugo Fan sees Fan backhand and beat Lui 5 hole to tie it at 5. A couple minutes later, Charles Liu completes his hattrick and giving JOG a 6-5 lead after 4 straight goals in reply by JOG. Pang shortly responds to tie it back at 6, before late in the game, Ice Wolves takes a penalty with 4 minutes remaining. But instead of JOG taking advantage, it was Ang following up a Hamish Pang rush to bury the rebound to complete his hattrick with a short handed goal and give Ice Wolves the lead again. With a minute and a half remaining, JOG pulls the goalie, but Jackie Chan finishes them off with an empty net goal completing the comeback. With the win, Ice Wolves move 2 points clear of JOG and take sole possession of 4th. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 24 shots while Martin Jim (JOG Sports LPP) faced 34 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. Warren Ang (Ice Wolves) 3. Charles Liu (JOG Sports - LPP) David v Goliath AsiaXpat leading the division faces YATS Engineering in the cellar who only got their first 2 points of the season last week. This time, YATS leading scorer Theo Wong was there for the start of the game, and made his presence known early opening the scoring 4 minutes in after he cutoff a weak clearing attempt on the left boards and walked in uncontested. He then followed that up with a 2nd goal just 2 minutes later as he went back to collect an errant pass, and with Xpat making a slow line change, walked past the defense, and deked out Jim. Soon after, Wong was again involved in a goal, but it was Josh Steinhaus stealing the puck off Wong at the blueline and went down the ice for a breakaway as he fired it post and in to cut the lead to 1. YATS Robert Chiu continued his hot hand from the previous game as he netted a goal with 30 seconds remaining after Brendon Lui’s shot was stopped by Martin Jim, only for Art Tam to shovel the puck from the side of the net to Chiu on the doorstep. With 7 seconds remaining in the first, Art Tam won the faceoff at center ice and attacked, finding Brendan Lui with a backhand pass who made no mistake to score his first of the night just before the buzzer went off. 4-1 YATS after the first. The 2nd period was more back and forth as YATS could no longer hold off AsiaXpat’s leading scorer, Alvin Sham as he netted his first as he picked up the rebound of a Paul Chai attempt and fired it past the blocker of Stephanie Fok for his first of the night. YATS responded as Wong completed his hattrick walking down the middle and deking this time to the glove side. On the ensuing faceoff, Sham came down the left boards and wires one short side top corner blowing the water bottle off to quickly respond. Late in the 2nd, Lui makes a beautiful behind the back pass across the slot to Tam who put it in the open side to give YATS a 6-3 lead after 2 periods. Chiu gets his second after taking a pass from Justin Kuok and shooting from the faceoff dot past Jim. 7-3 YATS. Sham then completed his hattrick 5 minutes later as he fired the puck from the high slot past a screened Fok. Late in the game with YATS on the powerplay, Martin Jim makes a point blank save on Lui, after which Sham collected the rebound and went down the ice and fired another short side top corner again taking out the water bottle for his 4th of the night. 7-5 YATS. Brendon Lui rounded out the scoring with his 2nd of the night unassisted with 9 seconds remaining in the game. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) once again under a hail of shots facing 41, while Stephanie Fok (YATS Engineers) faced 22 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Brendon Lui (YATS Engineers) 2. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 3. Theo Wong (YATS Engineers) Closing in on #1 The Unicorns were in 3rd place coming into this game just 3 points away from the top 2 teams, AsiaXpat and RBC Lions, who were tied for first. A win over RBC tonight would pull them within a point, especially with AsiaXpat losing their game earlier. Leon Mo, Unicorns leading scorer, who has generated 10 of the 22 team goals up to this game, was back in the lineup this week, and he made his presence felt scoring the first goal 4 minutes in, after David Lee and Andrew Rueger broke out of their zone and found Mo at centre ice. He followed with his 2nd goal a few minutes later, again from a Rueger pass to put Unicorns up 2-0 after 1. The Unicorns put up a tight team defense clogging up the neutral zone and played a very conservative game by limiting the chances the speedy RBC forwards had, and ensured they gave up few odd man rushes or breakaways which RBC Lions have thrived on so far this season as they pulled other teams apart. And when they couldn’t break the play, or block the shot, Arthur Chan and the post was there to thwart RBC’s attempts. No scoring in the 2nd. In the 3rd, RBC continued to press, only to find shin pads, backsides, and Chan keeping the puck out of the net. It wasn’t until 1:13 left in the 3rd did Jovi Wat finally break thru and spoil Chan’s shutout bid. In desperation, RBC pulled their goalie, but were unable to get the tying goal, while Kiu Lee finished a strong play by Trace Wong to kill the game with an empty net marker. 3-1 win for the Unicorns over RBC Lions. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 20 shots while Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 27 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) 2. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 3. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) UPCOMING GAMES - December 7 @ Mega Ice Game 1: Lions vs YATS @ 8:30pm Game 2: Unicorns vs Ice Wolves @ 9:30pm Game 3: AsiaXpat vs JOG @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 6 Scoreboard
November 24th, 2023 Win streaks collide The Unicorns were coming into this game with a 3-game winning streak while AsiaXpat were on their own 2 game win streak and riding a high after beating RBC Lions last week to take top spot in the division. However, it was going to be a challenge for Unicorns with top scorer Leon Mo out of the lineup who has accounted for almost ½ of Unicorns goals this season. Just over a minute in, while the Unicorns had strong pressure in the Xpat zone, an unlucky bounce near the blueline resulted in a loose puck finding Alvin Sham cruising around centre ice who skated across the slot avoiding the check and firing one against the grain, post and in to make it 1-0. Shortly after, Unicorns had a great chance as Kiu Lee and Rick Chu came in on a 2 on 1 but was smothered by Martin Jim to maintain the lead. Near the end of the first, Jimmy Thai finished a pass from Sham to give Xpat a 2-0 lead after the first. Midway in the 2nd, Chu with a glorious chance walking past both defensemen as he tried to jam it by Jim as he barged thru the crease but was denied again. Shortly after that, it was Thai completing another play to give Xpat a 3-0 lead. Near the end of the 2nd, the Unicorns won a faceoff and after working the puck around, Dave Lee wired a shot from the point past Jim to get Unicorns first goal. On the ensuing faceoff, Sham walked in with the puck and just narrowly put it wide of the post in response. Both teams exchanging chances. But it was Xpat’s up 3-1 after 2 periods. Early in the 3rd. The Unicorns find themselves in penalty trouble as Sham draws another penalty giving Xpat’s a 45 second 5 on 3 with key Grant Phillips and Andrew Rueger in box. The Unicorns kill the 5 on 3 as Xpat’s bombard the net but Arthur Chan makes a number of saves and keeps out the scramble in the crease with a snow angel. But soon after while Xpat still had a man advantage, Chai wires one from left faceoff dot top corner to the glove side to round out the scoring. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 28 shots while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 27 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) 2. Jimmy Thai (AsiaXpat) 3. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) Planets in alignment This game looked to be the right match up for JOG Sports who have been playing 500 hockey so far this season has been in a mini slump losing their last 2, while it didn’t really matter for YATS since they’ve not been able to muster a win all season. It also didn’t help that their top scorer and GM Theo Wong was away for 1/2 the game to start. The game started lethargically as both teams seemed to have trouble finding any rhythm, until Brendan Liu fed Rob Chiu with a pass from behind the net and Chiu made no mistaking putting it top corner on Arthur Chan (JOG LPP) to give YATS a 1-0 lead. 2 minutes later, Donald Chow stole the puck at centre and walked in for a breakaway from the blueline only for Fok to stop him as he tried to score five hole. A minute afterwards, Chow split the YATS defense at his own blueline and came in on a clear breakaway only to be stopped by Stephanie Fok (YATS) again as this time, he tried to go low stick side. With 2 minutes left Brendan Liu cycled around the net and then spun quickly for a shot that beat Chan far side to give YATS a rare 2-0 lead to end the first period. 20 seconds into the 2nd period Chiu scored his second as he walked in on the left side and fired a slap slot past Chan to the top corner stick side using the defense as a screen for his 2nd of the night. Both teams had several chances to score but were unable to reach the loose puck sitting in the crease. Jason Yip continued his torrid scoring to the start of the season getting his 11th goal as he picked up the puck at the blueline then fired a shot far side post and in by Fok. Art Tam then took a pass from Ray Tang at centre ice and fired a slap shot glove side by Chan after it took a deflection off the defenseman’s stick. YATS up 4-1, until Yip got his 2nd of the night and 12th of the season when he roofed a shot over Fok’s glove after the initial shot missed the net and bounced to Yip on the other side. 4-2 with YATS lead cut in half, Theo Wong decided it was time to get into the game. 2 minutes into the 3rd, Tam intercepted a JOG clearing attempt and fed a wide-open Liu who then deked Chan for his 2nd goal of the game. Chiu followed this up less than a minute later with his hattrick goal as he skated across the slot, faked a slapshot, lost the puck, then put one across the grain on the ice into the far post. Alton Ho found himself on a shorthanded breakaway towards the end of the 3rd but was stopped by Fok. With a minute remaining, Brendan Liu completed his hattrick after stealing the puck at his own blueline for a breakaway this time deking to his backhand to round out the scoring. Solid goaltending, and a breakout night for Chiu and Liu helped give YATS their first win of the season. A busy night for Arthur Chan (JOG Sports LPP) facing 35 shots while Stephanie Fok (YATS Engineers) faced 25 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Brendon Lui (YATS Engineers) 2. Robert Chiu (YATS Engineers) 3. Stephanie Fok (YATS Engineers) Rematch of opening night The last time these 2 teams met, RBC Lions walked away with a 10-1 win. Since that game, Ice Wolves have had a 500 record but have started to find their scoring touch with 22 goals in those 4 games. Just 2 minutes in, RBC Lions’ Calix Ma opened the scoring. 5 minutes later, Theo Wong (Ice Wolves LPP) had a solo effort to tie the game at 1. Followed by Jason Yee (Ice Wolves LPP) to take the lead shortly after. 2-1 after the first for Ice Wolves. In the 2nd, David Finifter got his 1st of the year to make it 3-1 Wolves before Jovi Wat scored 2 goals back-to-back in a span of 6 minutes to tie the game up at 3. With 3 minutes remaining, Jasper Chow scored his first of the year to give Ice Wolves the lead again followed by Hamish Pang getting a short-handed goal with just 40 seconds left as Ice Wolves closed out the 2nd with a 5-3 lead. An individual effort by Charles Liu drew RBC closer. Ice Wolves were looking to get an insurance goal after a high sticking penalty to RBC at the 10-minute mark, but it was Jovi Wat doing the damage with a short handed goal instead to tie the game at 5-5. A few minutes later, Jacky Wu one timed a shot past Jerome Lui after a sweet pass by Joe Wat thru the defensemen’s legs giving RBC Lions the first lead of the night. As the time ticked away, it looked like RBC would kill the clock until a poor line change cost them with a too many men penalty with 33 seconds left. It took all of 3 seconds for Ice Wolves to capitalize on the ensuing faceoff as Warren Ang won it back to Jasper Chow who fired a slapshot past a screened Keira Mok to tie the game. In overtime, Charles Liu and Jovi Wat made short work with the extra ice and saved RBC Lions from back-to-back losses scoring just 22 seconds into OT, while Ice Wolves salvaged a point with the late goal. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 33 shots while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 28 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 2. Charles Liu (RBC Lions) 3.

SCIHL Division 1 - Week 6 Scoreboard
November 17th, 2023 Rudi as they call him picked up first shutout of the year as the RBC Lions got back into the win column with a 4-0 blanking of the AsiaXpat Warriors who have not lost 5 games in a row. The Warriors are last in league standings, last in goals for and last in goals against... they could have a large WISH list for Santa this year. In another low-scoring game which has been rare this year, the HKBN Tycoons picked up their third W in a row with a 4-1 victory over the Aces.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 5 Scoreboard
November 17th, 2023 Battle for top spot! First place on the line this week as RBC came in with an undefeated record of 4-0, while AsiaXpat were entering the game 3-1. An RBC win would solidify their top spot, while an Xpat win would put them in first albeit tied in points due to the head-to-head tie break. Fans were expecting a high scoring game as this game also had the top 2 scorers in the league so far. Jovi Wat for RBC, and Alvin Sham for AsiaXpat. And they both had numerous scoring chances this game. However, a combination of cross bars, posts, and a ton of shin pads limited the actual scoring this game. With all the hype, it was a tightly played game as AsiaXpat kept a very disciplined defensive coverage, and it was Allan who opened the scoring as he picked up a loose puck in the slot and wristed it top side blocker on Keira Mok. That’s how the period ended, the play very even with Xpats having 9 shots on goal, and RBC 8. 1-0 Xpat. In the 2nd period, part way in, RBC had a mad scramble in front of Louis Lee (LPP G) and while Lee needed to scramble, he kept the puck out. But in the scrum, he picked up what looked to be a lower body injury. After a couple minutes of deliberation, he had to withdraw from the game, and AsiaXpat picked up emergency goalie Boyce Wong who happened to be in the stands for the remainder of the game. With the goalie change, Xpats seemed to play even better defense and blocked many of RBC’s shots, allowing only 3 more shots in the period, while they kept up the pressure on RBC and Sham was finally rewarded after several chances, as he placed a shot just over Mok’s pad and into the far side. 2-0 Xpats after 2. Early in the 3rd period, Jovi Wat stole the puck from corner, and after deking by the defender, roofed a shot short side top corner by Wong’s blocker to draw the close the score to 2-1 with 12 minutes left in the game. The chances continued to come on both ends, but both goalies were playing well, while Xpat continued to block many of the attempts. After taking a time out near the end of the game, Xpat’s defenders were all on 1 knee thru the OT, and luckily for them, were able to tie up the remaining faceoffs, and kill the clock. Keira Mok (RBC) faced 30 shots while Louis Lee (AsiaXpat LPP) had a clean sheet after 9 shots before Boyce Wong (AsiaXpat LPP) came in and faced 11 more. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Keira Mok (RBC Lions) 3. Jimmy Thai (AsiaXpat) Unicorns charge back in the 3rd JOG Sports and Unicorns were looking to secure their spot in the middle of the division after the exciting first game between RBC and AsiaXpat. Before the crowd got settled, JOG went up 1-0 just a minute into the game off a nice goal by Gavino Ng after being setup by Donald Chow. Another tight game with team defense employed again by the Unicorns as they sat back and defended looking for counter-attack opportunities. And 9 minutes in, Rick Chu did just that while the Unicorns were killing a penalty, as he finished the play after Tracy Wong won the puck in her zone, skated up the side, and fed Kiu Lee who’s shot was turned aside by Jonathan Cheng (LPP goalie) but the rebound was tucked in by Chu to tie the game at 1. 3 minutes later, JOG’s pressure broke thru as Jason Yip was freed by Hugo Fan for a semibreakaway and he went around Arthur Chan to make it 2-1. On the next faceoff, it was Fan and Yip again as Fan made a sweet backhand pass as he moved behind the net to a wide open Yip in the slot, who put it high blocker for his 2nd of the period. Yip almost completed his hattrick on the very next shift, doing his best Alex Ovechkin impersonation as he spun on his backside and steered the puck, just wide of the post with seconds remaining in the first. 3-1 JOG after 1 with JOG doubling up on shots. The 2nd period continued like most of the first with JOG laying siege on the Unicorns, but Leon Mo took advantage of an early breakdown as he finished of a breakaway, the only goal in the 2nd period. 3-2 after 2. In the 3rd, Hugo fan gives JOG a 4-2 lead with 10 minutes left as he attacks 1 on 1, then dekes the defense, and casually opens up Chan to put it 5 hole. As the game looked to tick away, Leon Mo stick handled past 3 JOG players coming off right boards, then slots it far side on Cheng to pull within 1 with 2:40 remaining. 30 seconds later, Chu finds Andrew Rueger down the right side who snipes one off the crossbar to tie the game. And with 1 minute remaining, Mo completes the comeback, and his hattrick scoring short side on Cheng. In the last minute, a mad scramble at the end but Hugo Fan was unable to bank off one off Chan’s back, and Yip couldn’t connect with the loose puck in the crease thru a bunch of legs to knock it in as the buzzer goes. Another busy night for Arthur Chan (Unicorns) facing 29 shots while Jonathan Cheng (JOG Sports LPP) was faced 26 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 2. Rick Chu (Unicorns) 3. Jason Yip (JOG Sports) Shootout at MegaIce After 2 close games this evening, it was time for a goal fest between the Ice Wolves and YATS Engineers, as the 2 teams have let in an average of 6-7 goals a game in this early season and enter the game with a goals against of 23 and 27 respectively after 4 games. A YATS win, and they would tie Ice Wolves for last place, while an Ice Wolves win, will give them a 4-point cushion away from YATS at the bottom. And boy, this game did not disappoint in the goal department. The 2 teams combined for 18 goals, and 12 different goal scorers, 6 per team. There were goals every other shift. All sorts of goals, juicy rebound goals, 3 on 1’s, one timers, point shots, breakaways, and seeing eye goals from the side wall. After taking the early lead and closing out the first period 5-2 for the Ice Wolves, they never looked back, scoring another 4 in the 2nd, while YATS could only muster 2. 9-4 after 2 periods. And again, outscoring YATS 3-2 in the 3rd for a final score of 12-6. One to forget for the goalies, and YATS as they remain winless this season, while Ice Wolves bounce back from last weeks loss to AsiaXpat for their 2nd win. Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 30 shots while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 26. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. John Wade (Ice Wolves) 3. Shane Weir (YATS Engineers) UPCOMING GAMES - November 23 @ Mega Ice Game 1: AsiaXpat vs Unicorns @ 8:30pm Game 2: YATS vs JOG @ 9:30pm Game 3: Ice Wolves vs RBC @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 1 - Week 5 Scoreboard
November 10th, 2023 In what could be a preview of the SCIHL finals, the RBC Lions and HKBN Tycoons went toe-to-toe in the best game of the year so far with the Tycoons scoring a late 3rd period power-play goal to edge the Lions by the count of 7-6. The teams look evenly matched on paper as they rank 1 and 2 for both Goals For and Goals Against. For the Tycoons, it was a team effort as six players found a way to beat the Lions undefeated tender Rudolf 'Rudi' Bernart. Gregory Smyth and Rob Schremp each had two goals for the Lions as they suffered their first loss of the year. In the second game of the night, the Aces looked like they were fighting a Warriors teams without sticks as they sent them to their fourth loss in a row with a sound 11-3 defeat. Big nights for two of the Aces star players, Whitney Olsen had 4 goals + 3 helpers for 7 points while Jesse Lussier also found the net 4 times with one assist for 5 points.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 4 Scoreboard
November 10th, 2023 Still looking for first point This matchup between Unicorns and YATS Engineers looked like an early fight for the final playoff spot as YATS came into the game winless this season, while Unicorns only recorded their first win the previous game. Pregame scouting put the advantage to YATS this game with the Unicorns missing 2 of their top players in Andrew Rueger and Grant Phillips, and this proved to be the case as YATS came out and stormed the Unicorns from the opening faceoff. The zonetime for YATS was about 95% for the period and while they weren’t shooting very often, the chances they took were all high-percentage shots only to be stopped by Arthur Chan. Midway thru the first, with the Unicorns killing a penalty, Kenyon Tse lobbed a puck from centre ice into the YATS zone to clear the puck, only to have it take an unfortunate bounce off Fok’s stick and into the net to give Unicorns a 1-0 lead with a short-handed goal. Shortly after Brendon Lui had a shot stopped by Chan, with the rebound going to a wideopen Art Tam only to be denied by Chan as he dove back across to take away a sure goal. This continued thru the first, and after being outshot 8-1, the Unicorns took a 1-0 lead out of the first period. This pattern continued thru the second, and it wasn’t until the end of the 2nd period did YATS solve Chan as Theo Wong put in his 5th of the season to tie the game. YATS outshot Unicorns 13-3 in the 2nd period with Chan continuing to hold the fort while the Unicorns played a strong team defensive game. In the 3rd period, YATS continued to press, and Brendon Lui scored off the faceoff to give YATS their first lead of the night. However, the lead was short lived as on the next play, while YATS were pressing, Leon Mo stole a loose puck and outraced the YATS D to score a breakaway goal on Fok tying the game again. A few minutes later, Bo Feng cleared the puck out with Mo again behind the YATS D and converting his 2nd breakaway to give the Unicorns the lead back. Although YATS threw everything they had in the final few minutes, they were unable to come up with an equalizer. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) had a busy night facing 30 shots while Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 9 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) 2. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 3. Brendon Lui (YATs Engineers) Lions continue to roar JOG Sports looked to try and slow down the RBC Lions train after having a decent start to the season just training RBC by 1 point coming into this game. However, RBC didn’t get the message. RBC just continued from last game and used a combination of speed and passing to put pressure on JOG early on. After a few good chances turned away by Loron Orris, an unassuming shot by Jovi Wat from the side wall caught a screened Orris by surprise as it found its way thru the 5-hole. 1-0 RBC. JOG tied it soon after hard work by Alan Lui behind the net forced a turnover to Jason Yip, who made a slick pass to a wide-open Hugo Fan on the left side of the net to tie the game 1-1. On the ensuing play, Wat skated up the ice uncontested and released a shot at the top of the circle that evaded Orris to regain the lead. A few minutes later, Fabrizio Fanta couldn’t get a shot off in front of the net but was able to bank it off Orris’ back after going by the goal line to get his first goal of the season and giving RBC a 3-1 lead after the first period. Although the 2nd period was more equally played, it was only RBC that could score. Wat completed his hattrick midway thru the 2nd period and Karl Mok tallied a couple minutes before the end of the second to give RBC a 6-1 lead. JOG looked like they went into intermission early as they allowed RBC to walk in and Charles Liu added another to give RBC a commanding 7-1 lead with just 16 seconds left in the 2nd. It looked like that was it, as JOG started getting into penalty trouble in the 3rd, but Jason Yip made a determined effort to score a short-handed goal to make it 7-1. A few minutes later, he did it again and got his 2nd shorty of the night after being freed up by a Hugo Fan pass. Unfortunately for JOG that was all the scoring for them today, and Wat rounding out the night with one more just 50 seconds left in the game for this 4th of the night. Loron Orris (JOG) had a busy night facing 28 shots while Keira Mok (RBC) was steady facing 13 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 2. Jason Yip (JOG Sports) 3. Fabrizio Fanta (RBC Lions) Finding Josh AsiaXpat has been strong so far this season having only lost to first place RBC, while Ice Wolves have struggled early this season only winning 1 game. However, Xpat were missing their leading scorer, Alvin Sham out with the flu, while Ice Wolves also lost Chris Wettling and Jerome Lui, making the outcome anyone’s game. Although Xpat lost Sham, they did welcome Michael Lam back into the lineup, which was a relief to GM Paul Chai as it meant they had more options. The first period was closely played with few chances given by both teams. Shots were only 4-3 for Ice Wolves, as chances were few and far apart. Both Martin Jim and Moses Fung (LPP), standing in for Jerome Lui, looked sharp when tested. Early in the 2nd period, Josh Steinhaus fired thru a crowd to open the scoring, followed closely by Captain Paul Chai as he finished a nice pass from Jimmy Thai to give Xpat a 2-0 lead. Hard forechecking by Ice Wolves line of Finifter, Lee, and Ang, was finished off as Warren Ang buried a rebound by Jim. Near the end of the 2nd, Niel Ng was able to find Josh skating down the wing and he wired a slapshop by Fung to give Xpat a 3-1 lead after 2. Early in the 3rd period, Patrick Costello had the open side and was only prevented from scoring his first of the season by an amazing skate save as Moses Fung slid across the crease to keep it close. However, Michael Lam made his presence felt as he gave Xpat a critical 4th goal with a hard backhand from the top of the slot and by a screened Fung 4 minutes in to give Xpat a 4-1 cushion. No chance for Fung on the play as Xpat had a ton of bodies in front of the crease. The Ice Wolves continued to press in the 3rd and owned the play towards the end of the game but were unable to solve Jim until the last minute when Hamish Pang scored with the goalie pulled with 50 seconds remaining, and after Ice Wolves pulled the goalie again, Derek Hu scored to make it 4-3 after taking a 3rd shot from the left side with just 16 seconds remaining. But it was too little too late as AsiaXpat were able to hold on at the end after running out of gas in the 3rd and almost allowing Ice Wolves to come all the way back. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 20 shots while Moses Fung (LPP) (Ice Wolves) faced 16. Three Stars of the game: 1. Josh Steinhaus (AsiaXpat) 2. Michael Lam (AsiaXpat) 3. Derek Hu (Ice Wolves) UPCOMING GAMES - November 16 @ Mega Ice Game 1: AsiaXpat vs RBC @ 8:30pm Game 2: Unicorns vs JOG @ 9:30pm Game 3: YATS vs Ice Wolves @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 1 - Week 4 Scoreboard

Rob Schremp had 2 points on the night and continues to lead the league in scoring with 14 points (4G + 1-A) after 4 games. After scoring just 12 goals in the first three games of the season, the HKBN Tycoons put up 9 as they ran over the AsiaXpat Warriors 9-5.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 3 Scoreboard
October 27th, 2023 3 weeks done - 14 to go... Lions climbed to 3-0, Unicorns got their first win of the season while YATS Engineers are going back to school to see how they can 'engineer' a win as they are winless in 3. Battle for 2nd behind RBC The matchup between JOG Sports and AsiaXpat seems like the battle for 2nd behind RBC this season based on the strong play shown by both teams so far. After a tight checking first half of the period, Leon Mo (LPP) opened the scoring for JOG. A minute after, Allan Yee responded for AsiaXpat only for them to give up another goal to JOG in the following shift as Alan Lui scored his first of the season to regain the lead for JOG. 2-1 after one. AsiaXpat looked like a different team this week with leading scorer Alvin Sham out of the lineup and the lack of secondary scoring showed. Mo opened the second period with a breakaway, deking Martin Jim out of his shorts for his 2nd of the game. Not long after, Mo completed his hattrick one timing a backdoor play when JOG’s Donald Chow made a beautiful pass from the point for Mo to finish. 4-1 JOG until Justin Wong in a solo effort put one by Orris to make it interesting. 4-2 now. But Jason Yip scored a short-handed goal with just 5 seconds left in the 2nd was the final nail in the coffin. JOG continued to dominate the 3rd period and Orris shut down any chance that came thru to close out the game. Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) had a busy night facing 33 shots while Loron Orris was solid facing 20 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jason Yip (JOG Sports) 2. Donald Chow (JOG Sports) 3. Loron Orris (JOG Sports) Glimmer of Hope RBC Lions looked set for a buffet tonight against YATS given RBC is undefeated and outscoring teams by a wide margin early in the season, while YATS Engineers have had trouble both lighting the lamp, and keeping the other teams’ offensive opportunities in check. Just 1 minute in, Calix Ma opened the scoring after a nice 3 way passing play between Karl Mok, Jovi Wat, and Ma. According to script and looked to be a very long night for YATS. However, that was basically the only good chance RBC had in the first period, as YATS played a tight checking game clogging up the middle preventing the speed of the youngsters from penetrating the house and keeping most shots to the outside. Instead, they created more chances than RBC, and Bonnie Lui finally tied it with her first of the season, and in her first game of the season. Just a couple minutes later, a streaking Justin Kuok put another by Kiera Mok. YATS outshot RBC 14-8 in the first and came out of the period with a 2-1 lead. The first period this season that RBC was outscored or outshot for that matter. After an excellent first period by YATS, either RBC changed their approach, or YATS ran out of gas as the 2nd period looked completely different. YATS lost their solid positioning from the first period, and this allowed Jovi Wat to pick them apart. Although the shots were even at 12, YATS allowed Wat to skate in and get a natural hattrick nicely spaced out through the 2nd period. RBC retaking the lead 4-2 after 2 periods. RBC continued the pressure in the 3rd as YATS gambled to get back in the game exchanging chances with RBC. They got their chances, but RBC converted on theirs. Charles Liu in his first game back with RBC getting his first 2 goals of the season (the second one unassisted on the powerplay). Theo Wong got one back for YATS, but at this point it was too little too late as Jovi Wat rounded out the scoring with his 4th of the night. Today’s game gives a sliver of hope to the other teams if they can stay to their game plan for a full 3 periods, and if so, then they may be able to stay with RBC this season. Stephanie Fok (YATs Engineers) faced 31 shots (an average night backstopping YATS) while Keira Mok (RBC Lions) had an unusually busy night having to face 35 shots and playing a big part of RBC’s win tonight (compared to 30 shots in total from the first 2 games). Three Stars of the game: 1. Charles Liu (RBC Lions) 2. Calix Ma (RBC Lions) 3. Karl Mok (RBC Lions) Early battle for the last playoff spot Although its early in the season, based on the games so far, this looked to be a close contest and an early match up for 4th and a chance to get more buffer above YATS who had yet to get a point this season. And the game did not disappoint. A tight checking affair as the Unicorns limited the Ice Wolves to only 4 shots on goal even after being on the penalty kill twice, while getting 8 themselves. Both goalies looked sharp and it was only Andrew Rueger continuing his goal streak with a top corner finish past the glove of Jerome Lui as the only goal for Unicorns. 1-0 after 1. This continued in the 2nd period with chances even at 8-7 and again, the only goal when Leon Mo - continuing his breakaway success on the evening with another (something he’s had trouble converting in the past) giving the Unicorns a 2-0 lead after 2. But just 2 minutes into the 3rd, Derek Hu finally solved Arthur Chan to draw the Ice Wolves back. But just a few minutes later, a beautiful give and go play between Mo and Grant Phillips using the full width of the rink, as Phillips made a cross ice pass from his side of centre to a streaking Mo down the left boards stretching apart the Ice Wolves defense. As they tried to recover, they left Phillips wide open in the slot to fire a one timer past Liu’s blocker when Mo put it right in his wheelhouse. Looked like the Unicorns were going to pull away, but Derek Hu picked up his 2nd of the game, finishing a nice pass from Hamish Pang. As it looked like the Unicorns were going to let this one slip away again, Tracy Wong took the reins and gave the Unicorns an insurance goal with just 4 minutes remaining in the game. Ice Wolves continued to press and pulled their goalie, but the Unicorns finally put it away with an empty net goal as they won a defensive zone faceoff and Mo lobs one down the ice making no mistake. 5-2 final for Unicorns. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 20 shots while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 21. Three Stars of the game: 1. Tracy Wong (Unicorns) 2. Leon Mo (Unicorns) 3. Derek Hu (Ice Wolves) UPCOMING GAMES - November 9 @ Mega Ice Game 1: Unicorns vs YATS @ 8:30pm Game 2: JOG vs Lions @ 9:30pm Game 3: Wolves vs AsiaXpat @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 1 - Week 3 Scoreboard
October 20th, 2023 Message is clear - the Lions are the team to beat as they won their third game in a row out-scoring the Warriors 10-7. Ryan Chu had a huge night with hat trick and 4 helpers for 7 points. Four points for Rob Schremp gives him 12 points on the season - tied with Ryan Chu. Kevin O'toole had his first hat trick of the season for the Warriors who are not having issues scoring - rather the opposite. In three games they have given up a league lead 23 goals. In the 2nd game of the night, Aces won their second straight game by doubling up the Tycoons 6-3. Tycoons were missing their #1 goalie Evan Thorpe - thumbs up to Antoine Devolz for filling the void.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 2 Scoreboard
October 20th, 2023 Week 2 is the books... Lions and AsiaXpat are both 2-0 and have scored a combined 38 goals in two games... bad news for rest. Work in progress YATs coming off an 8-3 opening loss, were looking to improve defensively and reduce the breakaway opportunities given up, and it was going to be a major test facing AsiaXpat and Alvin Sham who had a number of breakaway goals in his opening game last week. But it didn’t take AsiaXpat long to open the scoring just under 2 minutes into the game as Sham made a nice pass to Jimmy Thai who made no mistake for his 2nd goal of the season. YATS replied when Shane Weir put in a loose puck to the side of Martin Jim after some good forechecking from Jason Wong to get the puck loose. Sham then stole the puck from Rob Chiu in the corner and as he tried to pass into the slot, a great deflection from Chiu put the puck past a startled Fok for Sham’s first of the evening. AsiaXpats’ Allan Yee then found himself wide open on the left with all the time to pick the top corner, YATS defense no where to be found. 3-1 Sham gets another after walking by Chiu again and going in all alone on the right, depositing it 5 hole for his second of the night. YATS finally replied before the period ended as Art Tam had a nice give and go with Theo Wong out of the corner and Wong put one timer by Martin Jim to keep the score close. 4-2 Xpat after one. In the second, YATS continued to give up odd man and breakaway chances. However, Stephanie Fok made a number of great breakaway stops and a nice blocker save on Sham as YATS pinched too much. Shortly after, another glorious chance by Allan Yee on the left after Josh Steinhaus fed him only for Yee to miss the open net. Fok held the fort for YATS only allowing Sham his hat trick goal in the second period. While Martin Jim made a ton of great saves to keep YATS from closing the score. YATS were testing Jim this game but were not getting rewarded. It seems like the harder YATS tries to score the less they remember defense as Sham gets another 2 breakaways to start the 3rd period for his 4th and 5th of the night, followed by a 2 on 0 between Sham and Chai with Chai scoring blocker side. Sham potted another goal for his 6th before Rob Chiu finally gets one by Jim from the low slot to round out the scoring. Another big loss for YATS, 9-3 this time, and a cloud continues to hover over their defensive concerns. Stephanie Fok (YATs Engineers) faced 36 shots while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 25 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Paul Chai (AsiaXpat) 3. Theo Wong (YATs Engineering) JOG trying to hang on Ice Wolves entered this game looking to find some scoring after being shut down in the opener last week, while JOG Sports looked to keep cruising after their easy win over YATS. JOG’s Jason Yip continued where he left off as he had the only 2 goals in the first period and it looked like both teams were playing a tighter defensive game. Ice Wolves were also figuring out their lines as they had everyone back this week. 2-0 JOG after 1. Hamish Pang looked like his old self this game creating a number of chances including a semi breakaway only to have Keira Mok (LPP) turn aside the 5 hole attempt. But it was Gavino Ng who scored first to make it 3-1 JOG. Pang however finally got his first goal of the season on a breakaway and again 10 minutes later to keep the score close. 3-2 JOG after 2 periods. The third period continued to be a tight checking affair until Yip completed his hat trick to give JOG some breathing room. Gavino came just millimeters away from getting a goal, but his attempt rang off the crossbar. Pang again was able to work his way thru the JOG defense to score his hat trick goal. 4-3 JOG now. JOG Captain, Bruce Hicks intercepted an errant pass and put a shot by Jerome Lui only to hit the post, keeping it a one goal game. With about 5 minutes remaining in the game. JOG had a couple power plays but were unable to solve Lui to get the insurance goal. Instead, Pang broke through again for a semi breakaway, making no mistake to his backhand on Keira to tie the game at four shorthanded. Pang tried to do it again near the end of the game but was stopped drawing a penalty. 4-4 after regulation with Ice Wolves starting the OT with a 2 man power play. And wouldn’t you know it. It was Pang again with his 5th of the evening, scoring blocker-side top corner for the game winner. Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 19 shots while Keira Mok (LPP) (JOG Sports) faced 23 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Hamish Pang (Ice Wolves) 2. Jasper Chow (Ice Wolves) 3. Jason Yip (JOG Sports) Dads going crazy RBC was known for their youth, but in this game, it was the DADs that came through, accounting for more than 60% of RBC’s goals tonight. A strong start for RBC Lions last week had lots of fans staying to see how the Unicorns would fare against the youngsters. It took just under 2 minutes for Karl Mok to steal the puck and score unassisted with a top corner marker to make it 1-0. Jovi Wat then continued his hot start to the season scoring twice to round out the scoring. The Unicorns were playing well defensively, but still could not prevent RBC from eventually breaking them down and outshooting them 11-3 in the first. In the 2nd period, RBC’s old guys took over. 1 minute in, Eric Pang passing from the side boards to Danny Chiu cycling thru the slot and wrong footing Arthur Chan for his 1st goal of the year. Shortly after Sherman Chan got his first putting in the rebound after Chan made the initial stop on Karl Mok’s shot. Just over 7 minutes later, Christopher Lee made no mistake on the left side tapping a cross ice pass from Wat to get his first of the season. And just to prove it was no fluke, he did it again just over a minute later, this time from a Bob Ngan pass to the same place. Ngan then scored an unassisted goal to round out the scoring. 8-0 after 2 periods. Although the score looked one sided, the Unicorns had more shots in the 2nd (8-11 in shots). This continued in the 3rd with Leon Mo finally getting a breakaway to start the 3rd, going top blocker to break Keira Mok’s shutout bid. The goal caused RBC to attack even more and a few minutes later, Andy Ma finished a pass from Ngan. Jovi Wat scored an unassisted goal as he stole the puck and broke in for another breakaway to get his hattrick, while Eric Pang rounded out the scoring. 11-1 the finals score. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 38 shots while Keira Mok (RBC Lions) faced 16 shots on the night. Three Stars of the game: 1. Christopher Lee (RBC Lions) 2. Sherman Chan (RBC Lions) 3.

SCIHL OPENING NIGHT - Division 3
October 13th, 2023 Banking on RBC for Goals Kicking off the 2023-2024 SCIHL Division 3 season were 2 new teams to the SCIHL. In blue are the Royal Bank of Canada Lions - 'RBC Lions' that combines a mix of youth and experience. In the white, are the Ice Wolves, which is a long-standing hockey club in Hong Kong with a tradition of winning. There were a lot of rumors about the potential scoring power of RBC, and it only took them 21 seconds into the 2023-24 season to open their account. Eric Pang, the captain of RBC leading the way with a quick strike on Jerome Lui, after receiving a beautiful lead pass from Bobby Ngan. RBC controlled the play throughout the first period outshooting the Ice Wolves 10-3. While the Ice Wolves tried hard to counter-attack, about 6 of the attempts in the first period were breakaways or semi-breakaways that Lui did well to stop, but Jovi Wat was able to score his first 2 of the night, before Eric Pang closed out the scoring in the first with Ngan providing assists on all the goals. 4-0 RBC after 1 period. The second period followed a similar trajectory with RBC outshooting Ice Wolves 14-5 and Wat scoring 3 more along with Karl Mok picking up 1. 8-0 for RBC after 2 periods. The Ice Wolves pressed harder and started playing tighter defense on Ngan and was rewarded by an early goal by John Wade to break Kiera Mok’s shutout bid, but while pressing for more, they gave up 2 more breakaways to Wat who took advantage of an exhausted Lui to score his 6th and 7th goals of the evening. The game left Lui wondering where his defense was (they were missing both their top defense in Jasper Chow and Chris Wettling), and things can only get better once they are back in the lineup. Kiera Mok (RBC) faced 14 shots while Jerome Lui (Ice Wolves) faced 33 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Jovi Wat (RBC Lions) 2. Bob Ngan (RBC Lions) 3. Eric Pang (RBC Lions) Overtime Excursion Last seasons' defending champions Unicorns were looking to continue their winning ways in the 2023-24 season in new sharp new black jerseys and most of the team returning, while AsiaXpat starts this season with a much revamped roster. What an exciting game this was for fans watching. Both teams looked quite evenly balanced in the first period, but the Unicorns were first to strike just over 4 minutes in, as Edwin Lau opened the scoring. Less than 2 minutes later, last years’ playoff hero - Andrew Rueger finished a nice passing play from Dominic Ng and Leon Mo. Although AsiaXpat outshot the Unicorns 7-4 in the first, the Unicorns held on to a 2-0 lead after 1. Towards the end of the period, AsiaXpat’s Mark Pavey went down awkwardly and had to leave the ice. Preliminary reports have him with an undisclosed upper body injury as Asiaxpat places him on the LTIR list. We wish Mark a speedy recovery and return to play. That seemed to spur AsiaXpat as they rattled off the next 5 goals in the 2nd period. Captain and GM, Paul Chai leading the way, followed by Alvin Sham with 3 goals for a natural hattrick, and Jimmy Thai rounding out AsiaXpat’s 2nd period scoring. The only response from Unicorns was from Rueger with his 2nd of the evening with 10 seconds left after Xpats looked to get complacent at the end of the period. 5-3 AsiaXpat after 2 periods. The 3rd period started off with a bang. With Dave Lee off for hooking, new comer Grant Phillips scored an early short handed goal with a floater past screened AsiaXpat goalie Martin Jim closing the gap to 4-5. But just 46 seconds later in the same powerplay, Sham got his 4th of the game with a powerplay marker giving AsiaXpat their 2 goal lead again. Leon Mo, newly acquired by the Unicorns, found himself with a breakaway on rookie goalie Martin Jim and made no mistake to keep the score close. Justin Wong answered again in less than a minute until ‘Uncle Rick’ Chu scored to pull the Unicorns within one. With just over a minute left, Leon Mo finished a nice pass from Tracy Wong to even up the score 7-7 setting up the first overtime game this season with the new revised rules. 3 on 3 for 3 minutes, with no icing or offsides, making for an free wheeling affair. Just 24 seconds into OT, Justin Wong broke up a Unicorns attack, and fed a streaking Sham coming down the left wing, who fired a blistering slapshot past an outstretched Arthur Chan giving AsiaXpat the OT win. Arthur Chan (Unicorns) faced 25 shots while Martin Jim (AsiaXpat) faced 30 shots. Three Stars of the game: 1. Alvin Sham (AsiaXpat) 2. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) 3. Leon Mo (Unicorns) JOG Sports welcomes YATS to the SCIHL Long term jersey partner of the SCIHL & CHG - JOG Sports went with a sharp florescent green jersey this year. While the SCIHL welcome’s YATS Engineering as the newest sponsor to the SCIHL this season. JOG Sports started strongly in the first which reflected the strong chemistry their core players had with each other. The combination of Donald Chow, Hugo Fan, Gavino Ng, and Jason Yip would prove to be a thorn in the side of YATs all game. Having said that, YATS with a mixed line up of grizzly vets and rookie players showed number of defensive breakdowns as they struggled to clear pucks out of the zone, breakout cleanly, or keep much zone time in the JOG end of the ice. Their first turnover resulted in Hugo Wong opening his account just 1:11 into the season with a breakaway after stealing the puck just outside YATs blueline, making a nice move to the backhand to opening the scoring. While JOG continued to break up YATS attempts to test JOG goalie Loron Orris, Stephanie Fok kept YATs in the game. It wasn’t until the last 2 minutes of the first period that Donald Chow forced another giveaway at center ice and scored on his own breakaway to close out the first period 2-0 for JOG Sports. The 2nd period was more of the same, with JOG’s first line of Donald Chow, Hugo Wong, Gavino Ng, Jason Yip, and Kevin Wong having full control of the play - both strong puck possession, and pinpoint passing which after a period of practice, resulted in points on the board in the 2nd period. The next 4 goals belonged the JOG sports in a span of 6 minutes. Jason Yip with his first, a clinical finish top corner short side from the right after getting set free by a beautiful pass from Gavino Ng. Andrew Rueger (LPP) chipped one in, while Donald Chow and Hugo Fan added 2 more, before YATS Theo Wong finally responded for YATs and finally getting a puck past Orris as he went left to right thru the slot and put a shot against the grain just inside the post with just 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd. 6-1 at this point, and any thought of a comeback was short lived as Jason Yip responded less than a minute later with his 2nd of the night, followed by Chow with his hattrick goal with a minute remaining. 8-1 after 2 periods. YATS had a short spark in the 3rd scoring 2 goals, Wong with his 2nd and Shane Weir pouncing on a loose puck. But it was too little too late. Final score was 8-3 for the team in green. Loron Orris (JOG) faced 18 shots while Stephanie Fok (YATS) faced 25 shots on the night. Three Stars of the game: 1. Donald Chow (JOG Sports) 2. Hugo Fan (JOG Sports) 3. Theo Wong (YATs Engineering) UPCOMING GAMES - October 19 @ Mega Ice Game 1: AsiaXpat vs YATS @ 8:30pm Game 2: Ice Wolves vs JOG @ 9:30pm Game 3: Lions vs Unicorns @ 10:30pm Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL OPENING NIGHT - Division 1
October 6th, 2023 The SCIHL 2023-2024 regular season dropped the puck last night and the 'COOLEST GAME IN ASIA' is back for another action packed year. In the opening game, the RBC Lions, last year SCIHL D1 champions took on the Manulife Aces. The Lions handled the Aces easily by the count of 5-2 and put all teams on notice they are looking to repeat as champs! Chloe Fong (u18) and Gregory Smyth each had two goals while former NHL player Rob Schrimp chipped in with 4 assists. Rudolf Bernart playing in his first SCIHL game picked up the win stopping 20 of 22 shots while the business of the two goalies, Craig Gouk got the big L as he turned away 20 of 25 shots. AsiaXpat Warriors and the HKBN Tycoons squared off in the second game of the night and what a game to end the night. The Warriors are stacked with D but they put on a display as Ben MacAskill noticed 5 points including a hat-trick while team GM David Belluche added 4 points himself... not a bad opening night for a defensive team. The game was tied 2-2 after the first, 3-3 after the second and then both team combined for 6 more in the third with Warriors Kevin O'Toole putting the game away with an empty net goal to seal a 7-5 victory. Antoine Devolz back from his 'Swiss' adventure picked up his first W of the season. Tycoons Evan Thorpe will have to wait another week for his.

SCIHL Division 1 - Game Result
Friday, 23 March 2023 Raptors Move Past Sapporo It was heated …. Which means it must be the playoffs! Sapporo started off strong taking a 4-3 lead after the first thanks in large part to Rhett Wilcox’s hat trick. But the Raptors started strong in the second period with 3 goals to take a 6-4 lead. Jeff Griffin got one back only to have Bryan Crane complete his hat trick shortly afterwards for a 7-5 Raptors lead. Griffin got on the scoresheet again but in the wrong way. After receiving his fourth penalty of the game at the end of the second period, Griffin was ejected putting his team behind the 8-ball.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 17 Game Results
Friday, 24 March 2023 Championship was magical It does seem that Unicorns have magical properties. From battling for the final playoff spot in the last game of the regular season, beating the top team in the semis, and now facing Homely Sportswear in the final, it was a magical storyline. Now they just had to win to complete the ending. And did they! Just 1:40 into the first, Clement Liu opens the scoring giving them a much-needed confidence booster against the run of play. The Unicorns were playing a counterattack game plan - not because they wanted to, but because HMY gave them no choice. Unicorns were playing desperate defensive hockey to keep the shots on net to a minimum. Midway through the first, Andrew Rueger with the hot hand, continued his torrid scoring pace in the playoffs to get a 2-0 lead. This was capped by Arthur Tam with a goal shortly after to make it 3-0 after 1. Paul Chai replied early in the 2nd on a powerplay goal to give HMY some life. But Rueger scored two goals a minute apart midway in the 2nd to give HMY a body blow and complete his hattrick. 5-1 after 2 periods. Early in the 3rd period, Kenyon Tse scored short-handed for the Unicorns stretching the lead to 6-1. Donald Chow rounded out the scoring a few minutes later, but HMY were unable to close on the early lead. Anthony Fiscella faced 15 shots while Bernard Lam faced 26 shots. Congratulations to the Unicorns on their first SCIHL Championship. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bernard Lam (Unicorns) 2. Andrew Rueger(Unicorns) 3. Kenyon Tse (Unicorns) Bronze goes to Asiaxpat In the Bronze medal game, Taboo Devils were up against Asiaxpat. The fans were wondering if Taboo could stop the WWF line, or if the balanced attack on Taboo would win out. It was a tight-checking game from the start and the entire game was evenly played with chances exchanged on both ends. It wasn’t until the last minute of the first was the WWF line able to score. David Finifter with the only goal to give Asiaxpat a 1-0 lead. Taboo got into penalty trouble midway in the 2nd, and the WWF line made them pay as Jim Wong scored the powerplay goal from the side of the net. 2-0. He then scored a couple minutes later again from a nice centering pass from Michael Wong to make it 3-0. Slowly but surely the possession and cycle game from Asiaxpat were wearing Taboo down. Taboo had several glorious scoring chances over the first 2 periods but were denied by Keira Mok time and again. In the 3rd, Asiaxpat’s Wong Cheung tallied to give a 4-0 lead with 11 minutes to go. Cue the comeback. Taboo finally solved Mok when Jason Yip scored one top corner to give them some life with 9 minutes left. Ernst Tang turned the tables on Asiaxpat and scored short-handed a few minutes later to close up to 4-2. Then Bryan Leung scored with 3 minutes left to make it 4-3. Asiaxpat were on their heels, and you can feel the momentum shifting to Taboo Devils. But could they come all the way back? After gaining possession, Taboo pulled their goalie and after a few opportunities on net, Asiaxpat finally chipped the puck out of the zone and Michael Wong was able to score an empty-net goal with 1.5 min remaining giving Asiaxpat a much needed insurance goal. 5-3. Michael then capped it with a 2nd empty net goal to complete the scoring and securing Bronze for Asiaxpat. Edward Lee faced 17 shots while Kiera Mok faced 17. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1.

Brian Knowles scored the lone 3rd period goal for the Raptors to tie the game at 6. It looked pretty bleak for the Raptors as Sapporo built up a 4-0 first-period lead with Blake Steele scoring a pair while Jeff Griffin and Rhett Wilcox add the others. The Raptors woke up in the second with Steve Allison and Bryan Crane scoring just a few minutes apart. After Griffin had scored his second of the night, Allison and Crane once again scored consecutive goals. Steele then completed his hat trick to put Sapporo up 6-4 however, Dennis Toews got into the act and scored a big goal with 6 seconds remaining in the period. You would figure more goals to come in the third but the goalies took over. Knowles was the only player to get one in the third period and the game ended in a 6-6 tie after a frantic overtime period. Sapporo’s Sammy Wong and Raptors’ Kevin Rushton both stopped 23 shots. This was the final game of the 2022-2023 regular season. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Blake Steele (Sapporo) 2.

Friday, 17 March 2023 Breakout game The first semi-final had first-place Asiaxpat versus fourth-place Unicorns who only secured their spot by beating HoiHoi in the last regular season game last week. The Unicorns came in the playoffs with the lowest goals for against the high-octane offense from the WWF line who have been dominate all year. Following script, the first 6 minutes of the game were almost completely played in the Unicorns zone as Asiaxpat’s offense dominated control of the puck and the Unicorns desperately defending against the strong cycle game of Asiaxpat. Against the play, Shane Weir won the puck behind the net and fed Art Tam coming in from the point for a one-timer into the short side. However, the lead was short-lived as they WWF line continued to dominate play and finally were rewarded when Jim Wong finished a rebound after a Michael Wong attempt on net was stopped by Bernard Lam. A few minutes later, the WWF line struck again, this time David Finifter finishing the play giving Asiaxpat a 2-1 lead at the end of the first. The 2nd period was a bit more open as the Unicorns pressed for an equalizer, which came on the only powerplay they had. Andrew Rueger scoring his first high to the top corner, only to have Michael Wong regain the lead just over a minute later. 3-2 Asiaxpat after 2. In the 3rd period, the Unicorns struck early as Rueger scored his second of the night as he deflected the puck just inside the far post tying the game again just a minute in. 4 minutes later, Rueger completed his hattrick and gave the Unicorns the lead again, after Sally Lau stole the puck, chipped it to Tracy Wong behind the net, who found Rueger in the high slot putting one into the top corner past a screened Kiera Mok. Asiaxpat then had a glorious opportunity to tie it up as the Unicorns got into penalty trouble. 2 quick penalties gave Asiaxpat a 5 on 3 powerplay for over a minute as the Unicorns desperately held on to their lead with Bernard Lam making some key saves to keep them ahead. A few minutes after killing the penalty, Shane Weir won the puck behind the Asiaxpat net and with a power move, snuck one by the short side giving the Unicorns a crucial insurance goal. As the clock wound down, Asiaxpat pulled their goalie, but it was the Unicorns Captain, Andrew Rueger who sealed the win with an empty net goal for this 4th goal of the game. Rueger scored almost 1/2 the goals he had in the entire regular season in the first playoff game. Kiera Mok faced 29 shots while Bernard Lam faced 31 shots. The upset win puts the Unicorns in the Gold medal game against the winner of Homely Sportswear and Taboo Devils. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bernard Lam (Unicorns) 2. Andrew Rueger(Unicorns) 3. Shane Weir (Unicorns) Back to our regular scheduled program After losing first overall in the last game of the season to Asiaxpat, Homely Sportswear were looking to shore up their game with league-scoring leader Donald Chow back in the lineup. Taboo was looking to follow in the footsteps of the Unicorns to pull off an upset and book their place in the finals. After a slow start, Taboo allowed the league’s top scorer, Donald Chow, to walking down Main Street unmarked, who fired one by Edward Lee to open the scoring. 30 seconds later, Homely’s Warren Ang doubled their lead on an unassisted goal. Taboo’s Kenny Chiu responded near the end of the first as he chipped one over the blocker side of Anthony Fiscella to get Taboo on the board. 2-1 after 1. Early in the 2nd, Taboo tied it up on the powerplay after Leon Mo broke thru and made no mistake. The teams would trade chances until late in the 2nd, when Rick Chu scored on Homely’s only powerplay regaining the lead. Shortly after, Justin Kuok added another unassisted for Homely, closing out the 2nd, 4-2 for Homely. In the 3rd, Sam Wong finished a scramble in front to make it 5-3, and while Taboo had a couple powerplays to even it up, Homely’s Kuok scored his second of the evening short handed to round out the scoring and any potential comeback from Taboo. Edward Lee faced 29 shots while Anthony Fiscella faced 30. Homely will now face the Unicorns in the Gold medal game, while Taboo plays Asiaxpat for Bronze. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Justin Kuok (Homely Sportswear) 2. Gavino Ng (Homely Sportswear) 3. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) Farewell Izzy Lion Rock’s Izumida Koji was looking to close out his stellar year with a win before returning back to Japan. HoiHoi who just missed the playoffs last week to the Unicorns were looking to bounce back this game. HoiHoi opened the scoring as Captain Rob Chiu fired a slap shot past Izzy on the stick side after Lion Rock’s defense allowed Chiu to walk in, then deflected the ensuing shot. In the same shift, Lion Rock’s Justin Wong (LPP) quickly replied on the ensuing faceoff. A couple of shifts later, Wong scored again on his next shift, only for Chiu to reply from the ensuing faceoff in a similar fashion. 2-2 after 1 period. Lion rock’s John Wade (LPP) scored with 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd to give Lion Rock the lead, and John Ng then scored with only 6 seconds remaining in the 2nd beating the buzzer to give Lion Rock a 4-2 lead after 2. HoiHoi then opened the 3rd with a patented Hamish Pang rush closing the gap to 1. However, Wade scored his second of the night with 4 minutes left for an insurance marker which Lion Rock needed as Justin Hau scored for HoiHoi in the last minute to round out the scoring. The insurance goal helped ensuring Izzy’s sendoff game with a win. Izumida Koji faced 29 shots while Carson Leung (LPP) faced 27 on the night. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 15 Game Summaries
Friday, 10 March 2023 Presidents Trophy With both Asiaxpat and Taboo Devils having secured a spot in the semis, the only question was whether Asiaxpat could win and put pressure on Homely to stay in first place. The spectators on the other hand were looking at this as potentially the semi-final playoff preview since if the standings didn’t change, this would be the matchup pitting the highflying WWF line from Asiaxpat against the balanced scoring power of Taboo. And the fans were not disappointed as the 2 teams combined for 6 goals in the first period. The WWF line’s David Finifter striking just 48 seconds into the game, only to have Bryan Leung (on his own multi-game scoring streak) replay just over a minute later. Xpat then score the next 3 goals, Finifter with his 2nd, Jim Wong scoring instead of being the playmaker for once, and Anthony Luk also scoring before Randy Lau from Taboo responding in the last minute of the 1st. 4-2 after 1 period. Unfortunately for the fans, the 2nd period could not keep up with the pace in the first as both teams started playing more defensively and although Taboo had numerous scoring chances, they were unable to put one Kiera Mok. The only goal in the 2nd went to Neil Ng giving Xpat a 5-2 lead after 2. This continued in the 3rd and Taboo’s Kenny Chiu was the only one able to score, but with 2 minutes left as Asiaxpat were able to hold on and take over first place. Kiera Mok faced 21 shots while Edward Lee faced 22. The win for Asiaxpat and the subsequent loss by Homely this evening allows Asiaxpat to leapfrog HMY and take first overall for the regular season and a semifinal matchup with the Unicorns. Taboo remains in 3rd and will face Homely Sportswear in the other semifinal. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. David Finifter (Asiaxpat) 2. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 3. Anthony Luk (Asiaxpat) Falling Just Short of First With Asiaxpat winning their game, Homely Sportswear needed to win their game against last place Lion Rock Hockey who were out to play spoiler. A tie was not going to be enough as Asiaxpat held the 2-1 season head-to-head record against HMY. However, they needed to do it without their top scorer Donald Chow. The first period was a surprisingly tight defensive affair with both teams limiting shots on net even though there were a few close opportunities for Homely to open the scoring only to hit a leg or side of the net. At the end, Homely only got 4 shots on goal, while Lion Rock similarly had 3. This continued thru the second until Lion Rock broke the deadlock on the powerplay Mark Pavey firing one past a screened Fiscella. Paul Chai finally broke thru scoring one on Sumi Chau (LPP) to even it up at 1 after 2 periods. Early in the 3rd, Bruce "I’m not a goal scorer" Hicks, finished close in around the net after good work from Boyce Wong (LPP) and Jasper Chow got in close and the ensuing rebound was gobbled up. It was again Paul Chai urging his team on and coming up with his second of the night just over a minute after to even it up again. It was looking like we were headed to overtime until John Ng finished another scramble in front of the net giving Lion Rock the lead with just over a minute remaining. Homely tried to press but the strong defense of Lion Rock prevented them from getting the equalizer. Sumi Chau (LPP) faced 16 shots while Anthony Fiscella faced 13. The loss for Homely means they finally lose the grip on first overall after holding it for months and sets up a semifinal against Taboo Devils. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. John Ng (Lion Rock Hockey) 2. Paul Chai (Homely Sportswear) 3. Bruce Hicks (Lion Rock Hockey) Everything on the line It came down to the last game between HoiHoi and Unicorns to decide the final playoff spot. The teams were tied in points and head-to-head games heading into the last regular season game and the winner would have the chance to take on Asiaxpat in the semis. Just 1:24 into the game, some hard work from Tracy Wong behind the net to win the puck and then give a beautiful pass to Andrew Rueger, who then banged one past Rendell in close to open the scoring just over a minute into the game set the tone for the game as the Unicorns played a tight-checking game thru the game to negate HoiHoi’s top scoring threat Hamish Pang who is 4th in league scoring. Time and again, the Unicorns double-teamed Pang to minimize his chances on net. Unicorns were rewarded with a 2nd goal near the end of the first after taking an interference penalty when Kenyon Tse slotted one by Rendell to make it 2-0. HoiHoi had a chance to claw a goal back when the Unicorns were shorthanded 4 minutes, but HoiHoi were unable to setup any sustained powerplay time. 2-0 after 1. The tight-checking affair continued thru the 2nd period until Justin Wong following up on the play came away with a partial breakaway to deke and then put one just over the pad of Rendell to give the Unicorns a 3-goal advantage with a period and a half to go. In the 3rd, HoiHoi finally got on the board on another powerplay opportunity after the Unicorns were unable to get the puck out of their own zone. A lucky bounce from behind the net off Pang’s skate bounced off Bernard Lam’s skate and into the short side to give them some life just 2 minutes into the 3rd. 3-1 for Unicorns at this stage. With the season on the line, HoiHoi pressed hard and carried the remaining play in the 3rd as the Unicorns were happy to sit back and run the clock. However, as the defense tired, Pang was getting more and more opportunities with 5 breakaways/semi-breakaways alone in the 3rd period but was facing a brick wall in Lam keeping the Unicorns ahead. Justin Wong got his 2nd of the night in between the onslaught after an errant pass resulted in a 3 on 1. HoiHoi outshot Unicorns 13-5 in the 3rd including Pang’s but were unable to close the gap. Bernard Lam faced 19 shots while Kirsten Rendell faced 20 on the night. With the win, the Unicorns take on top-seeded Asiaxpat in the semis. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Justin Wong (Unicorns) 2.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 14 Game Summries
Friday, 3 March 2023 Race to the end After losing the week before, Both the Unicorns and Lion Rock were facing a must win situation to remain in the playoff hunt. Lion Rock was again missing their star goalie, but their lineup included their new roster freeze pickups in John Ng and Otto Chan hoping to turn the tide, while Unicorns continued to roll with their existing line-up. It was scoreless after 1 period as both teams played an even, but tense defensive minded game. This continued in the second period until Andrew Rueger broke the deadlock with 3 minutes remaining in the period on a beautiful solo effort after intercepting a breakout pass and making no mistake on Sumi Chau (LPP). As the period was winding down and the Unicorns cycling away in the corner, Justin Wong made a pass to Art Tam coming in from the point, who then fired a slap shot past a screened Chau. 2-0 after 2 periods. The 3rd was more wide-open as both teams traded chances, but both goalies stood their ground. Sally Lau finished off the game, and Lion Rock, with an empty netter to complete the scoring. Sumi Chau (LPP) played well Lion Rock, standing in for Izumida Koji, while Bernard Lam was solid in his shutout win. Chau faced 21 shots while Lam faced 18. The loss eliminates Lion Rock from playoff contention, while the Unicorns stay in the hunt to chase down HoiHoi for the final playoff spot. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bernard Lam (Unicorns) 2. Andrew Rueger (Unicorns) 3. Arthur Tam (Unicorns) WWF body slam Asiaxpat came into this game looking to maintain the pressure on Homely and take over first overall heading into playoffs. A win would have them take over first ahead of the HMY game tonight. And Asiaxpat came out flying. Before Rob Chiu even made the ice, they were up 1-0, David Finifter scoring the first goal. Just 4 minutes later, Michael Wong scored his first of the evening, assisted by Jim Wong and Finifter. Anthony Luk chipped in with a goal off the right side before Josh Steinhaus was able to reply for HoiHoi. Jim Wong and John Ng (LPP) exchanged goals before the period ended, both teams combining for 6 goals, but Asiaxpat taking a 4-2 lead after one. Things were a bit more defensive in the 2nd, but Michael Wong completed his hattrick for the only 2 goals of the 2nd period. 6-2 Asiaxpat. HoiHoi mounted a bit of a comeback in the 3rd. They scored 2 goals in the opening 2 minutes from Donald Chow (LPP) and Hamish Pang to close it up to 6-4 before Eugene Wong responded less than a minute later to drown out any glimmer of hope HoiHoi had left. Michael Wong finished another dominate shift from the WWF line, before Hamish Pang rounded out the scoring with a powerplay goal. The WWF line were all over the scoresheet tonight as they combined for 16 points as Asiaxpat body slammed HoiHoi in a 8-5 win. Kirsten Rendell faced 22 shots while Kierra Mok faced 29. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 2. Jim Wong (Asiaxpat) 3. David Finifter (Asiaxpat) Last minute heroics The final game of the night put Taboo Devils who were on a 5-game win streak against first overall Homely Sportswear. Red hot Bryan Leung opened the scoring after Tim Poon dug the puck out of the corner, passed to Leon Mo, who then setup Leung. Homely tied it up just a few minutes later on the powerplay when Alan Lui slotted in a loose puck to tie it at 1. The teams traded chances thru the rest of the first and second periods, but both Edward Lee and Anthony Fiscella were solid as we headed 1-1 into the third period. The teams exchanged goals between Leon Mo and Paul Chai until 2:18 left when Tim Poon broke the tie just as everyone was expecting the game to go into overtime. 3-2 with 2:18 left. HMY pulled their goalie in the last minute and Gavino Ng skated up the middle and fired a shot from the high slot past a startled Lee tying the game with 32 seconds remaining. On the ensuing faceoff that Taboo won back, there was a collision at the line leaving Warren Ang alone in front of Lee and scoring the game-winner with just 18 seconds remaining giving HMY the win. Edward Lee faced 21 shots while Anthony Fiscella faced 22. Taboo remains solidly in 3rd position, while HMY maintains a slender 1-point lead over Asiaxpat for 1st overall and a chance to play the last team to secure a playoff spot.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 13 Game Summary
Friday, 24 February 2023 Nines dominate the scoresheet Lion Rock is running out of games to make the playoffs. 2 points out of the last playoff spot with 2 games left, they had to face Asiaxpat who is battling with HMY for top spot. Unfortunately, Lion Rock was missing pretty much 1/2 their regular team due to injuries and travel. Although LPPs helped, they lacked the chemistry to keep a full strength Asiaxpat at bay. The combination of Michael Wong (#9), Jason Yip (#19), and Hamish Pang (LPP - #91) combined for 12 points on the night and 85% of the offense for Asiaxpat. Pang finished with a hattrick, Yee with 2, and Wong with a goal to power Asiaxpat to a 7-3 drubbing of Lion Rock. Kiera Mok was steady in net for Asiaxpat taking over for Jerome Liu who is on LTIR, while Carson Leung stood in for Izumida Koji who was on the Oxfam Trailwalker 100km challenge (congratulations!). Leung faced 31 shots while Mok faced 19. The loss puts Lion Rock in the position of hoping the other teams also falter to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 2. Hamish Pang (Asiaxpat) 3. Jason Yee (Asiaxpat) Just like the Rock The Unicorns were hoping their defense was like a rock facing top team HMY as they face a similar playoff situation as Lion Rock. However, they ended up closer to Lion Rock instead. Things started brightly for the Unicorns, despite being outshot 12-7 in the first, they had 2 special team goals. First a powerplay goal by John Wade, followed by a shorthanded goal by Andrew Rueger. 2-0 after 1 period. The Unicorns opened the 2nd with Rueger’s 2nd of the night, things were going according to plan up to this point. However, they were unable to limit the prime changes HMY were getting on Bernard Lam, and while he valiantly made key saves, HMY outshot them 14-3 and in the process tied the game with 3 goals. Leading scorer Donald Chow with the first, followed by 2 more from Rick Chu. 3-3 after 2 periods. In the 3rd, the Unicorns finally got their defense sorted and only got outshot 5-3, but it was not enough as Rick Chu converted for his hattrick and the game winner, while rookie Moses Fung (LPP) playing his first game in the SCIHL was able to close out the Unicorns for the win. The loss keeps the Unicorns tied with Lion Rock, their playoff hopes relying on HoiHoi slipping up in their remaining games. Bernard Lam faced 31 shots while Moses Fung faced 13. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Rick Chu (Homely Sportswear) 2. Arthur Tam (Unicorns) 3. Paul Chai (Homely Sportswear) Hanging on by a fingernail HoiHoi who finally found themselves in a playoff spot, was hoping to capitalize on the losses by both Lion Rock and the Unicorns earlier in the evening and solidify their chances to securing the final spot. However, they were facing the red-hot Taboo Devils who have turned around their season and have till now, gone undefeated in 2023 winning 4 straight before tonight. It was Leon Mo who is chasing for top scoring who opened the scoring just over a minute into the game as he broke in alone on the left and made no mistake firing a low stick side goal past Kirsten. Just a minute later, Bryan Leung doubled the lead, then followed up with his second of the evening just 7 minutes later. It wasn’t until the last couple minutes when Jackie Chan finally broke thru to give HoiHoi some hope closing the first down 1-3. The late goal seemed to rally the team as a much better HoiHoi team held off Taboo in the 2nd, while getting 3 of their own to get the lead for the first time tonight. Chan with his 2nd, followed by Hamish Pang and Alastair Grigg, leaving HoiHoi with a 4-3 lead going into the 3rd period. Unfortunately for HoiHoi, that was all they were getting tonight as Taboo woke up from their nap and ratted off 6 unanswered goals in third period. Mo with his 2nd, followed by Boyce Wong (LPP) with 2, Kiu Lee getting into the action which her 4th of the year, Jason Yip, and Boyce rounding out the scoring with his hatty with 3 minutes remaining. Taboo’s offense tore through HoiHoi’s defense in the 3rd to come out with a convincing win and leaving HoiHoi’s playoff spot still in doubt. Edward Lee faced 16 shots while Kirsten Rendell faced 26.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 12 Game Summaries
Friday, 17 February 2023 Looking for the season sweep The Unicorns were 0-2 this season against Asiaxpat and were intent on preventing a season sweep. The Unicorns needed a win to stay in the race for the last playoff spot while Asiaxpat was looking to get closer to clinching a playoff spot. The Unicorns came out of the gates hard holding a majority of play and chances, only to have nothing to show for it as Keira Mok (LPP) stopped everything and was looking to regain her form shown in the playoffs last season. The teams remained scoreless until midway in the 2nd when Unicorns captain, Rueger was in the box, and Anthony Luk made them pay with a powerplay goal. Asiaxpat was looking for more balanced scoring with Jim Wong away, and were rewarded with lines scoring goals in the 3rd. First from David Finifter, then Neil Ng, and Wong Cheung, sandwiching the only tally for the Unicorns by Jon Mei in the middle. Bernard Lam faced 16 shots, while Kiera Mok faced 18. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. David Finifter (Asiaxpat) 2. Kiera Mok (Asiaxpat) 3. Anthony Luk (Asiaxpat) Turning the tide It seems like a night and day difference for Taboo who could barely buy a win in the first half of the season, but in the new year, they can’t lose. Since the start of 2023, Taboo Devils are now 4-0 after turning aside a new look Lion Rock team who had several regulars out of action. Leon Mo opened the scoring 10 minutes in, then Bryan Leung and Billy Fu tallied each in the 2nd period to give Taboo a 3-0 lead. Lion Rock made an effort to come back making it close by scoring 2 early in the 3rd period, goals by Mark Uhrynuk and ET Ng, but Leon Mo got the critical insurance marker short-handed with 1.5 minutes remaining to seal the win. The loss puts Lion Rock tied with Unicorns with 10 points, outside of a playoff spot with 3 games remaining and Taboo is temporarily in 3rd place. Quite a different look from the end of 2022. Edward Lee faced 11 shots while Koji Izumida faced 27. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Jason Yip (Taboo Devils) 2. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) 3. ET Ng (Lion Rock Hockey) Desperation play for a playoff spot HoiHoi opened the night on the outside looking in for a playoff spot and had to contend with league leaders Homely Sportswear. The scoring started early and often this game as Allan Yee scored just 3 minutes in, only to have Homely respond with 2 of their own (Donald Chow, and Bernard Law) 5 minutes later. Although the teams were going end to end, there was a lot of blocked shots. HoiHoi was able to get 2 more before the end of the 1st from Justin Hau and a solo effort from captain Robert Chiu to take a 3-2 lead into the 2nd. In the 2nd, Homely once again responded. Justin Kuok just 40 seconds in, followed by Warren Ang to retake the lead. HoiHoi continued their pressure on what is normally a solid defensive line for Homely, and closed out with 2 more goals, Justin Hau with his 2nd of the night, and Tommy Wong finishing a powerplay goal to give HoiHoi a surprising 5-4 lead after 2. HoiHoi blew it open in the 3rd when Hamish Pang broke out of his recent slump with 2 goals within a minute to give some insurance, followed by Jason Wong adding another before Donald Chow was able to reply for Homely, however too little too late. 8-5 is the final as HoiHoi puts themselves back into a playoff position.

SCIHL Division 1 Game Summary
Friday, 10 February 2023 Total Team Effort Equals Big Win The RBC Lions are finding out that they can beat teams by outscoring them or by playing strong defence which they did in a 7-2 win against Sapporo last week. A total team effort led by Chloe Fong, who had a solid game and chipped in offensively with a couple of points. The Lions took a 2-0 lead into the second period. A period which saw a parade of penalties taken by Sapporo. However, the Lions were only able to capitalize on 1 out of the 4 power plays and took a 4-1 lead into the third period. Victor Schumertl subbed in goal for the injured Sam Wong and did what he could. Victor stopped 22 shots and many of them in the high danger zone. Craig Gouk at the other end was not as busy but was sharp as he stopped 10 of 12. The Lions added 3 more in the period enroute to a solid victory. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 11 Game Summaries
Friday, 10 February 2023 Return of Taboo Devils First place vs last place. Looked to be an uphill battle for Taboo as they have yet to beat the top 2 teams all year and have lost the last 2 by large margins. It seems someone forgot to tell Taboo that…. An uneventful first period only saw an early goal by Billy Fu to give Taboo a 1-0 lead but the run of play outshooting Asiaxpat 9-3. Things got even more interesting in the second period. Right off the faceoff, Jason Yip took the puck and then walked thru 4 Asiaxpat players before pounding his third rebound past Sumi Chau (LPP - with Jerome Lui on LTIR with an undisclosed upper body injury) just 10 seconds into the period. Where was the defense? The one-way traffic continued as Taboo shutdown every offensive chance from Asiaxpat, outshooting them 9-1 in the second period. With Yip collecting his hattrick after 2 more goals, this time off some nice close in passing. 4-0 after 2. That seemed to wake Asiaxpat up a bit, as they came out desperate in the 3rd period and started gambling more and finally were getting some quality chances on Edward Lee. However, as they gambled, Yip converted another for this 4th of the night, while late in the 3rd, Donald Chow (LPP) rounded out the scoring after finishing a nice breakout. Asiaxpat never solved Lee, who got his first shutout of the year. Edward Lee faced 11 shots, while Sumi Chau faced 26. The win takes Taboo out of the cellar and into 3rd place and right back into a playoff spot with 4 regular season games left to play. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Edward Lee (Taboo Devils) 2. Jason Yip (Taboo Devils) 3. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) Almost down to the wire Unicorns came into this game in 3rd place, and HoiHoi 6th place, with only 2 points separating them. This was essentially a must win game for the Unicorns. The Unicorns game plan revolved around negating Hamish Pang from scoring, and while they were able to do that, and keep out of the scoring, they forgot about the other players….. Outshot 10-1 in the first period, HoiHoi had full control and pressure. Justin Hau scored the first 2 goals close in after Bernard Lam made initial saves. Unfortunately for the Unicorns, they were unable to help Lam much, either clearing loose pucks, or opposing players from in front of him. Rob Chiu also chipped in 2 goals before the Unicorns were finally able to get one by Kirsten Rendell. By the end of the 2nd, HoiHoi had a 5-1 lead. It looked like this game was over. However, in the 3rd, HoiHoi seemed to let up, or the Unicorns finally found their game, but they chipped away at the lead with 3 unanswered goals by Andrew Rueger, Clement Liu, and Justin Wong. With 2 minutes left, they swarmed the HoiHoi end looking for the equalizer, but HoiHoi was able to weather the onslaught holding on to a critical 5-4 win. Bernard Lam faced 24 shots while Kirsten Rendell faced 12. With the win, HoiHoi is now in a 3-way tie with the Unicorns and Lion Rock for the final playoff spot. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Justin Hau (HoiHoi Pancake House) 2. Robert Chiu (HoiHoi Pancake House) 3. Paul Kim (HoiHoi Pancake House) Defense first? With Asiaxpat slipping up in the first game tonight, Homely Sportswear was looking to capitalize and take sole possession of first position. They were facing a Lion Rock team that was missing their star goalie, Izumida Koji, and a team that has been struggling of late, also seeing captain Gary Lawrence sidelined to the LTIR and likely out for the remainder of the season with an undisclosed upper body injury. The game went according to play for Homely as Justin Kuok opened the scoring firing thru a screen. Art Tam (LPP) responded for Lion Rock after taking a long pass from Jasper Chow and firing a slapshot by Anthony Fiscella, back in net for Homely. However, Lion Rock was unable to handle the league’s leading scorer, Donald Chow as he weaved thru the D and scored his first 2 goals late in the first to give Homely a 3-1 lead after 1. Lion Rock drew one back after Tam stole the puck at the blueline during a Homely powerplay and skated on a breakaway deking 5 hole on Fiscella for a shorthanded goal. This was followed shortly by Bruce Hicks finishing a nice passing play from Mark Uhrynuk and Rob Chiu (LPP). Sam WH Wong scored for Homely to regain the lead only to see Derek Hu pot his first late in the 2nd to tie the game 4-4 after 2 periods. This setup a wild 3rd period as Homely came out strong, Wong with his 2nd of the night off a deflection, and Chow scoring his hattrick and 4th goal of the evening to give Homely a 7-4 lead with 9 minutes to go. Cue the comeback by Lion Rock. Continued pressure allowed Derek Hu to score 2 more of his own to complete his hattrick drawing the score to 7-6 as Lion Rock looked to have Homely on their heels. Luckily for Paul Chai - his team was up to the task and were able to hold off Lion Rock and now sit one game shy of clinching a playoff spot.

SCIHL Division 1 Game Summary
Friday, 3 February 2023 The Come Back Kids After losing 7-5 to the Sam Wai Raptors in their last meeting, the RBC Lions got some revenge with a 6-5 overtime win, as they came back from a 5-3 deficit in the third period. It was a close game as the teams went back and forth. Sam Wai led the way for all the game until the overtime winner. Sam Kiselev opened the scoring just 4 minutes in the first period with a tap-in goal after a nice passing play with Dennis Toews and Rhett Wilcox (LPP). Cole Poliziani tied it just 55 seconds later after picking up the puck from goaltender Grant Phillips, subbing in for the still injured Evan Thorpe, and went end to end to beat Craig Gouk. Gouk was also subbing in but for the injuring Kevin Rushton who was out with a hand injury. Sam Wai led 3-2 after the first as Poliziani scored his second goal, sandwiched in between Scott Strickland’s pair of goals. In the second period, Wilcox scored shorthanded just 47 seconds to put Sam Wai up by 2. The back-and-forth game continued with Francis Lam finding the back of the net a minute later. Wilcox then put Sam Wai up by 2 again, mid-way into the period. The Lions began their rally with a big goal early in the third period with Lam’s second of the night. Julian Ikeda-Thew tied it up with 7 minutes remaining. The game almost did not need overtime but Gouk and Phillips did not give an inch and kept the game tied. In OT, Gouk made several in-close saves but it was Lam who completed his hat trick after digging out the puck and roofing shot for the game winner. Gouk finished the night with 24 saves while Phillips stopped 19. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Francis Lam (RBC Lions) 2. Cole Poliziani (RBC Lions) 3.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 10 Game Summaries
Friday, 20 January 2023 Turning the tables Last time these teams met, HoiHoi had a convincing 7-2 win. This time, it only took Lion Rock 40 seconds to score first, a quick strike finish from Paul Chai (LPP) after coming in from the right boards and putting it by a startled Paul Yeung (LPP) making his debut in the SCIHL. Just a minute later, Jasper Chow took a breakout pass from Gary Lawrence and powered down the left side this time and around Allan Yee and put it just over the right pad of Yeung. Not the start he was hoping for as on his usual team, he’s used to better defense! All this before Rob Chiu even made it on the ice. It took HoiHoi’s Hamish Pang to score on an individual effort to pull HoiHoi back within one. Rob Chiu, HoiHoi GM is certainly glad to see Pang back in the lineup. However, Lion Rock quickly got that back less than a minute later, Justin Wong (LPP) with his first of the evening. 3-1 after the first period. Unfortunately for Lion Rock, Gary Lawrence was injured by a puck riding up a deflected shot late in the first - requiring a number of stitches - and putting him out of the game. The second period was a repeat of the first. Lion Rock scoring early again, this time 27 seconds, Wong with his second, followed shortly by Chai with his second, and Hamish Pang responding midway, only for Lion Rock’s ET Ng to tap a rebound in after a long period of control in HoiHoi’s end. 6-2 after 2 periods. The third period was a bit closer as Lion Rock looked out of gas, but were able to keep HoiHoi to one goal by Justin Hau, and wrapped up the scoring with ET Ng also getting second of the night with an empty net goal. Paul Yeung (LPP) faced 23 shots, while Izumida Koji faced 29. The win puts Lion Rock tied for 3rd with the Unicorns and keeps HoiHoi in 5th ahead of the Unicorns vs Taboo game. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Jasper Chow (Lion Rock Hockey) 2. Jason Wong (Lion Rock Hockey) 3. Bruce Hicks (Lion Rock Hockey) A New Hope After coming off a big 10-2 win last week, Taboo Devils were looking to build on the win and get themselves back into playoff contention. What better way than playing the Unicorns who Taboo have had the upper hand in their last 2 meetings winning 6-1 and 5-4. The Unicorns have been inconsistent of late and were looking to work on their structure, however, it was Tim Poon opening the scoring just 3 minutes in after a hard-working scramble in front of Bernard Lam. The teams traded chances until Clement Liu was able to take a loose puck in the high slot, and performed a spin-a-rama shot thru the crowd that Carson Leung (LPP) never saw to tie the game. Leung was subbing in as Edward Lee is on LTIR with a lower-body injury. With 30 seconds left in the period, Andrew Rueger pinched up the right side, cut out from the goal line then ripped a shot high off Leung’s mask and into the top corner, 2-1 Unicorns after 1. Although the second period was evenly played, Taboo was able to capitalize every 4th minute. First Leon Mo with his first of the night on the powerplay, then Jason Yip, and Tim Tsui, each for minutes apart to close second 4-2 for Taboo. Early in the 3rd, Taboo continued their pressure, but as John Wade intercepted a cross-ice pass, he spotted Arthur Tam racing up the middle and made a perfect lob pass that landed right in front of Tam and he was able to chip it by Leung closing the gap. The Unicorns were finally able to tie the game with 5 min left as Tam got his second of the night after a nice pass across the crease from Clement Liu. With a minute left, both teams used their timeouts and put their best lines out. It was the Unicorns that had the advantage as they swarmed the Taboo net, only to have Leung stop 3 point-blank scoring chances to keep the game tied. Overtime - the Unicorns continued their pressure and midway thru, were able to draw a holding penalty. As they regrouped on the powerplay, Mo was able to forecheck in the Unicorns zone, win the puck on the boards, and then chipped the puck by the 2nd defenseman, and finding himself all alone, made no mistake and scored 5 hole on Lam to win the game. Bernard Lam faced 24 shots while Carson Leung (LPP) faced 23. With the win, Taboo Devils climb out of the cellar for the first time in months, leap-frogging HoiHoi Pancake House by a point after they lost to Lion Rock earlier in the evening and pulling within 1 point of Lion Rock and Unicorns who are now tied for 3rd. Only 2 points separate the bottom 4 teams for the last 2 playoff spots with 5 regular season games remaining setting the stage for an intriguing lead-up to the playoffs. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) 2. Kiu Lee (Taboo Devils) 3. Arthur Tam (Unicorns) Fight for First It was fitting the last game of the night was between Homely and Asiaxpat playing for first place. Asiaxpat entered the game 1 point ahead of Homely, and the last encounter saw Asiaxpat winning 5-3. Homely caught Asiaxpat early and Rick Chu was able to score just 42 seconds in. Homely had the edge in play in the first but were only able to walk away with the early goal as Jerome Lui recovered from the early lapse in play. The second period was even as both teams exchanged goals in an evenly played period. Paul Chai for Homely and Roger Li for Asiaxpat keeping the game close. Up to this point, Homely was doing well keeping the "WWF" line of Wong, Wong, and Finifter at bay. This changed in the 3rd as the WWF line finally broke thru and Finifter scored 2 min in to tie the game, followed a few minutes later as Michael Wong fired one by Lui to take the lead for the first time. Late in the game, Donald Chow was able to do an end-to-end run that we’ve seen in the past few games and tie the game. 3-3 after regulation. Overtime solved nothing and fittingly, this game went to a shootout. Asiaxpat started with Michael Wong, but Sumi Chau (LPP) out waited him and stopped his shot. Homely went with Paul Chai who deked out Lui to take the first goal. Second round, David Finifter scored with a smooth forehand backhand finish, while Corey Ng was able to score as well to keep Homely up. Jim Wong was up next as he deked backhand forehand deking out Chau, but with the empty net looming the puck rolled and he hit the side of the net, Homely winning the shootout. Lui faced 28 shots while Chau faced 24. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Corey Ng (Homely Sportswear) 2. Sumi Chau (Homely Sportswear) 3. Paul Chai (Homely Sportswear) Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 9 Game summaries
Friday, 13 January 2023 Steady as she goes Homely Sportswear has quietly climbed the standings and become one of the 2 teams to avoid, the other being Asiaxpat. Homely came into this game tied for 1st with Asiaxpat, while the Unicorns were hoping to gain some ground on the packed race for the last 2 playoff spots. The game started off with play mostly in the Unicorns zone, with constant pressure from Homely. Kiera Mok (LPP) in net for the Unicorns did well to keep Homely from scoring early on. Against the run of play, it was Clement Liu of the Unicorns to score the first goal converting a nice pass from behind the net by Shane Weir. But it only took Homely a minute to equalize, Warren Ang on the door step putting in his own rebound after Mok stopped the shot from the point, and Ang’s initial attempt. The Unicorns continued to play tight defense, but were unable to generate many scoring chances against Homely’s strong team defense. Ultimately, Homely got their second just a minute before the end of the 1st with another 2 foot finish by Ang for his second of the night. Homely outshooting Unicorns 14:6 in the first. Early in the 2nd, the Unicorns again failed to cover Ang, and allowed him to pot his hattrick all alone again just outside the crease. The 2 teams exchanged goals, Shane Weir for Unicorns, and Rick Chu for Homely to close the 2nd. 4-2 after 2. The 3rd period was all Homely. As the Unicorns gambled on the attack, Homely made them pay with 2 on 1’s and breakaways. 3 unanswered goals from Homely, Donald Chow with a goal to go with his 4 helpers, helping him stay around the top of the scoring race just 1 point behind Michael Wong, and 2 more from Jimmy Thai to put the Unicorns out of their misery. Kiera Mok faced 32 shots, while Anthony Fiscella faced 19. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Warren Ang (Homely Sportswear) 2. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 3. Jimmy Thai (Homely Sportswear) 4 point swing in the standings Taboo Devils were hoping to start 2023 on a better note after only winning 2 games in the first half of the season. HoiHoi on the other hand was hoping to move into 3rd spot with another win, while keeping some distance from Taboo albeit without their top scorer, Hamish Pang, who was celebrating a well-deserved, but delayed, Graduation holiday. Taboo had Kiera Mok (LPP) in net while Edward Lee is out with an undisclosed lower body injury, while HoiHoi continued in net with Carson Leung (LPP) who helped them take down Asiaxpat before the holiday break. It was looking good for Leung who looked on form preventing a number of excellent scoring chances from Taboo until captain Rob Chiu was able to open the scoring after finishing a 2 on 1 with Art Tam (LPP) after a giveaway at the blueline. This goal came completely against the run of play, and this looked to deflate the Taboo players who have struggled to finish scoring chances so far this season. Towards the end of the period, Leung seemed to have some equipment issues with his left pad and had to stop play a couple of times to try and resolve it. This seemed to take him off his game a bit and Taboo capitalized with 2 quick goals at the end of the 1st, first from Keith Hong, then Jason Yip to give Taboo a well earned 2-1 lead after one. After switching ends, Leung had to resort to getting sock tape to secure his left pad. Unfortunately, it seemed to be too much of a distraction and Taboo quickly converted a few low shots. HoiHoi’s strategy of stacking one line seemed to backfire, as Taboo was able to negate the top line, while taking full advantage of their 2nd line. Kenny Chiu and Leon Mo both with their first of the night, with Kiu Lee tallying as well, before Chiu got his 2nd of the night. 4 unanswered goals in the 2nd for Taboo closing the 2nd period with a 6-1 commanding lead. As HoiHoi gambled to get back into the game, Mo blocked a point shot during a HoiHoi powerplay and scored his 2nd of the night on the breakaway. HoiHoi was able to get that one back during the remainder of powerplay after Tam stuffed the rebound in after Chiu tried to jam in a short side attempt. However the game was already out of hand as Taboo continued to dominate, Bryan Leung scoring another midway in the 3rd before Yip scored 2 more, including Taboo’s 2nd short handed goal, to complete his hattrick. With the big win, Taboo closes into 1 point of HoiHoi and Lion Rock (who are now tied for 4th) and the elusive last playoff spot. Keira Mok (Taboo) faced 19 shots, while Carson Leung (HoiHoi) faced 27 shots. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Kenny Chiu (Taboo Devils) 2. Jason Yip (Taboo Devils) 3. Keith Hong (Taboo Devils) Keep on rolling The hottest line in the SCIHL continued after the break. Asiaxpat’s Wong/Wong/Finifter line continued to wreak havoc, this time against Lion Rock and Izzy. Although the play was relatively even, Lion Rock was unable to solve Jerome Lui who was sharp getting his first shutout this year, while the Wong line scored 4 goals and combined for 8 points on the night. David Finifter had a goal and assist, while Jim Wong scored 1 and 2 assist, and Michael Wong scored 2 and 1 helper. Anthony Luk also chipped in a goal to round out the scoring. The score was not indicative of the play as Lion Rock had numerous scoring chances, but just could not convert them by Lui. Jerome Lui faced 23 shots, while Izumida Koji faced 22 shots. With the win, Asiaxpat stays tied for first with Homely at the top with 13 points. Unicorns 4 points back in 3rd with 9 points, while Lion Rock and HoiHoi tied for 4th with 8 points. Taboo trails with 7 points setting up an interesting fight for the last playoff spot. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Jerome Lui (Asiaxpat) 2. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 3.

Friday, 16 December 2022 Sapporo Gets The Final Win in 2022 Craig Gouk stopped 25 shots while Jeff Griffin scored a hat trick to lead Sapporo to an 8-7 win over the RBC Lions. Sapporo took a 3-1 lead after the first period on goals by Griffin, Dave Moore and Rob Speers. Sandwiched in between Moore and Speers’ goals was from Kentaro Yanagawa who replied for the Lions. In the second period, after Blake Steele made it 4-1, it was then Cole Poliziani show as he scored a natural hat trick to tie the game up at 4. But Griffin regained the momentum for Sapporo with this second and third goals of the night. Before the period ended, it was Poliziani who got the Lions back within 1 with this forth of the night. In the third, Greg Gough tied the game up after converting a nice pass from Douglas Lee. Although the Lions tied the game up again, they never took the lead. Rhett Wilcox and Steele made sure of that with a couple of goals including some insurance which they needed. Julian Ikeda-Thew added a late goal to make Sapporo sweat but Gouk and the boys held the fort.A nice win to end the 2022 calendar year! Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Craig Gouk (Sapporo) 2.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 8 Game Summaries
Friday, 16 December 2022 Two team heading in opposite directions A very different line up this week for Taboo Devils with the holiday season around the corner was unable to stand up to a peaking Homely Sportswear team and the surging Donald Chow who over the past few games have quietly moved into 2nd in scoring. Chow sliced thru the Taboo defense all night and completed the evening with 5 goals, almost all of them from end-to-end rushes. If not for some good stops from Edward Lee, he could have had 3 hattricks given the number of breakaway / semi-breakaway chances he had. An evenly played 2nd period where each team scored 3 goals, were book ended with dominant Homely periods where Homely outscored Taboo 3-1 and 4-0. Chow’s dominance overshadowed a great game from Derek Hu’s (Homely’s only LPP) who completed his hattrick with a laser to the top corner from the low slot. The holiday break couldn’t have come at a better time for Taboo who now have some time to regroup and look to start the year refreshed. Edward Lee faced 28 shots, while Anthony Fiscella faced 16. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 2. Derek Hu (Homely Sportswear) 3. Justin Kuok (Homely Sportswear) Fight for the last playoff spot starting early It's looking like the race for the final 2 playoff spots will be a tight finish between the Unicorns and Lion Rock. Both teams stay in games in very different ways, but both are playing around 500 hockey up to the halfway mark of the season. Lion Rock’s Jasper Chow scored first, only to see Tracy Wong respond on the following shift with her first of the season to tie it at 1. The Unicorns capitalized on a powerplay, a goal from Jason Wong (LPP) followed by a well-placed shot by Captain Rueger to give the Unicorns a 3-1 lead after the first period. The 2nd period was much closer as the teams exchanged short handed goals in the period, Justin Wong for the Unicorns, and Jason Yip (LPP) for Lion Rock. Lion rock’s Brian Chiu and Mark Pavey also tallied, while Clement Liu replied for the Unicorns helped to keep the lead at 5-4 after 2 periods. Both teams tightened down defensively in the 3rd and the only goal was Clement Liu with his 2nd of the night to get a critical insurance marker for the Unicorns, while Bernard Lam was able to close the door in the 3rd and help the Unicorns end 2022 with a win and 3rd place in the standings while Lion Rock is tied with HoiHoi Pancake House for 4th. Koji Izumida faced 25 shots, while Bernard Lam faced 21 shots on the night. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Clement Liu (Unicorns) 2. Arthur Tam (Unicorns) 3. Justin Wong (Unicorns) Can we play Asiaxpat more often? HoiHoi’s recent play have dragged them out of the relegation fight and into a fight for the last playoff spot. Recent standouts Bonnie Liu and Rob Chiu have spearheaded the comeback and this game was no different. Asiaxpat reunited last season’s top line of YMT (Yip-Mo-Tam) and early on, it looked like it might work as Leon Mo scored early in the first, only to have Chiu reply from a nice give and go with Bonnie Liu. Hamish Pang continued his scoring run shortly after that to give HoiHoi a 2-1 lead after the first. Asiaxpat generated numerous scoring chances only to see it hit iron or a great save from Carson Leung (LPP) all night. Mo scored his 2nd from another feed from Tam, but it was not enough to keep up with the 3 goals from HoiHoi, Clement Liu (LPP), Jasper Chow (LPP), and Chiu with his second of the night putting HoiHoi up 5-2 after 2 periods. The 3rd period continued to follow this script with Leung making timely saves allowing HoiHoi to counterattack with Allan Yee scoring 2 in the 3rd period to round out the scoring. Not sure what it is, but HoiHoi Pancake House loves to play Asiaxpat. So far, when HoiHoi wins, they always score 7 or more goals. So far after 2 meetings, HoiHoi seems to be Asiaxpat’s achilles heel as the only team that have beaten them twice with wins of 10-7 and 7-3 so far. Jerome Lui faced 24 shots, while Carson Leung (LPP) faced 19 shots. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Carson Leung (HoiHoi Pancake House) 2. Allan Yee (HoiHoi Pancake House) 3.

SCIHL Division 1 Game Summary
Monday, 5 December 2022 A true 'last shot wins' in what was one of the most exciting games of the year that saw the RBC Lions battle back several times in an epic match to defect Sapporo 10-9. Cole Poliziani has a big night for the Lions with 4G + 3A for 7 points however it was his last assist on the night to Julian Ikeda-Thew who ended the game in OT was his biggest point of the night.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 7 Game Summaries
Friday, 2 December 2022 The Wong Luk Express continues to dominate Asiaxpat continued their dominance over the Unicorns as the top line of Jim Wong, Michael Wong, and Anthony Luk continued their scoring streak this game. Their fast break and cycling game wore down the defensive shell put up by the Unicorns. It took most of the first before Anthony Luk was able to put one by Bernard Lam. Michael Wong then scored 2 from cycling plays before getting a chance in front. 3-0 after 2 periods. Luk also got his 2nd of the night midway thru the 3rd, and it was just a question of whether Jerome would be able to maintain his shutout until Arthur Tam spoiled his bid as he tucked in a nice bass from Tracy Wong. But too little too late, for the Unicorns who rarely tested Lui tonight. Jerome Lui stopped 20 shots, while Bernard Lam stopped 28. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 2. Anthony Luk (Asiaxpat) 3. Kevin Ng (Asiaxpat) Homely back in the win column with another big win It seems like Homely is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde team this year. When they lose, it’s a close game, but when they win, it’s a blowout. Last time they played HoiHoi early in the season, they walked away with a 7-3 win. After losing previous 2 games by a goal each, Homely was looking to get back in the win column, while HoiHoi enters the game on a 2-game win streak. Things started well for HoiHoi with Hamish Pang who’s trying to catch Michael Wong at the top of the scoring race as he broke in on a breakaway and went forehand backhand on Fiscella just 2 minutes in. However, Homely tied it on the ensuing faceoff as Chai poked a loose puck past Rendell. Homely continued to capitalize on rebounds as they put 3 more by before the end of the first, Law, Ang, and Chai with his second to close the first period 4-1. The second period was more even as Homely and HoiHoi exchanged goals, Ang again, and Donald Chow for Homely, while Josh Steinhaus scored his first in his first game this season after coming off LTIR. And a gambling Rob Chiu was able to intercept a Homely attack at the blue line and pass it to a wide open Jackie Chan who also when forehand backhand and score. End of the 2nd, 6-3 Homely. But as HoiHoi continued to gamble to try and come back, Homely kept capitalizing on the counterattack and it was all Homely in the 3rd. 5 goals for Homely, Chow with his second, Rick Chu and Gavino Ng chipping in, and Chai getting his 3rd and 4th goal of the night to cap the scoring. Kirsten Rendell faced 30 shots, while Anthony Fiscella faced 24. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Paul Chai (Homely Sportswear) 2. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 3. Robert Chiu (HoiHoi Pancake House) Defense First Lion Rock came into this game with a .500 record, while Taboo was trailing the standings with just 5 points. The first period started well for Taboo as Kenny Chiu and Bryan Leungboth tallied after a dominating first period where Taboo outshot Lion Rock 14-5. The 2nd period was more even as both teams tried to get an edge. But neither team could score. The 3rd period continued with most of the pressure was from Taboo, however as they continued to press, Lion Rock was able to breakout and have the odd counterattack. This unfortunately for Taboo was quite often Lion Rock scored the next 4 goals as Derek Hu, Mark Uhrynuk with 2, and Jasper Chow all scored in a 7-minute span to put Lion Rock up 4-2 with 5 minutes to go. Taboo kept the pressure on, but was not able to get another by Izzy until Michael Wong (LPP) scored with 26 seconds left. Lion Rock held on for the win putting them 3rd in the standings, while Taboo continues to trail HoiHoi in 6th. Koji Izumida faced 30 shots, while Edward Lee faced 20 on the night.

SCIHL Division 1 Game Summary
Friday, 2 December 2022 Craig 'The Wall' Gouk Craig Gouk stopped 31 of 25 shots to lead the RBC Lions to a 6-4 win over the Sam Wai Raptors. Gouk has been subbing in for Evan Thorpe who is still recovering from a lower body injury and should come off the injured reserve list in the new year. It was 2-1 for the Lions after the first period and 4-4 after the second. But in the third period, the Lions took the lead on Kentaro’s third goal of the night as he beat Raptors’ goalie Marco Au, who subbed in for Kevin Rushton. Au who stopped 26 shots, was also sharp in this game but the Raptors could not get the lead thanks in large part to Gouk’s solid goaltending. Julian Ikeda-Thew added a power play goal mid-way into the third and that was enough for the Lions who came out with the win. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Craig Gouk (RBC Lions) 2.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 6 Game Summaries
Friday, 25 November 2022 Quick strikes put the game away early This game looked evenly matched as both HoiHoi and Lion Rock won in extra time last week and were only 2 points apart in the standings. However, perhaps it was a hangover from the World Cup win for Japan over Germany playing apart, but HoiHoi once again struck early, this time only 15 seconds into the game. Bonnie Lui broke down an put one by a startled Izumida. She then got her 2nd of the night just 3 ½ minutes later. HoiHoi was dominate with the puck, and within 7 minutes, HoiHoi was up 4-0, a beautiful slapshot in the slot by Paul Kim, and a rebound by Paul Chai (LPP). This period was all HoiHoi as Lion Rock looked a bit out of sorts as they were unable to prevent HoiHoi from generating chances. Jackie Chan then made it 5-0 to end the first. Lion Rock seemed to regroup after the break and started to play their usual defensive shell, except they forgot that to score, they needed to go down the other end of the ice. Although they didn’t allow a goal in the 2nd, they only generated 1 shot on HoiHoi’s Rendell. This trend continued in the 3rd as Justin Hau put away a rebound making it 6-0 before Donald Chan finally tallied for Lion Rock as he put away a loose puck after Bruce Hicks made a nice individual effort to drive into the zone and get a shot off. But it was too little too late. Jackie Chan scored his 2nd of the night, while Jasper Chow got a late goal for Lion Rock. Kirsten Rendell had a relatively light workday ahead of Thanksgiving only seeing 11 shots, while Koji Izumida had his typical workload, and faced 38 shots on the night. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bonnie Lui (HoiHoi Pancake House) 2. Jackie Chan (HoiHoi Pancake House) 3. Allan Yee (HoiHoi Pancake House) Heavyweight tilt! This game lived up to the hype. The top 2 teams in the SCIHL did not disappoint with a closely fought game. Homely came out strong and thru a close checking first period, outshot Asiaxpat 10-5, but had nothing to show for it as Jerome Lui shut the door time after time. It wasn’t until the 2nd did Homely put one by Lui, after stopping a shot, the rebound went right up the slot with Paul Chai one timing the rebound into the open side while doing a 'superman' move as he shot it. Asiaxpat’s Michael Wong then tied it at 1, and shortly after, gave Asiaxpat the lead with a number of give and go’s with Jim Wong and David Finifter. 2-1 after 2 period. The third was a mirror image of the 2nd, but this time, it was Asiaxpat scoring first, another by Michael Wong completing his hattrick in the first minute of the first, before Homely scored the next 2. Jimmy Thai out racing the Asiaxpat D to get a breakaway as he deked around Lui’s pokecheck, followed by Warren Ang putting a rebound in to tie the game at 3. Into the 3 on 3 overtime we went and it looked like we were heading to another shootout this week, when in the last minute, Asiaxpat's Jim Wong and Jason Yee were able to chip the puck out for a streaking Michael Wong to skate down the ice and wire a beautiful shot top corner by Fiscella to win the game, and tally his 4th goal of the night. Jerome Lui stopped 24 shots, while Anthony Fiscella stopped 14. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (Asiaxpat) 2. Jim Wong (Asiaxpat) 3. Warren Ang (Homely Sportswear) Monkey off Taboo's backs Taboo entered the game losing 4 straight, but each game they were improving, while the Unicorns were entering the game on a 3 game winning streak. And Taboo came out flying, swarming the Unicorn zone, and preventing them from clearing the puck, and eventually wore them down, Kenny Chiu getting the first goal just 1:45 in. However, Taboo seems to relax after a goal, and just 21 seconds later, Unicorns Dave Lee made an individual rush and tied it at 1. The Unicorns continued to get hemmed and were hoping to get out of the period with a 1-1 tie, but eventually Taboo’s Leon Mo was able to find some space and cut out from the corner, lasering a one top corner shot sort side from the goal line surprising Unicorns goalie Carson Leung (LPP). 2-1 Taboo. But once again, they seem to relax and the Unicorns Anthony Luk (LPP) came into the zone, cut across and used the defense as a screen and put one by Edward Lee tying the game once again. That goal seemed to take the momentum away from Taboo as with 6 seconds left in the first, Justin Wong continued his 5-game scoring streak. 3-2 Unicorns after 1. The 2nd period proved to be a draw as each team scored a goal first by Luk for his 2nd of the night, then Kiu Lee, left all alone in the slot made no mistake putting it by Leung’s stick side for her first of the season. 4-3 Unicorns after 2. The 3rd period continued like the second as both teams probed and tried to get the next goal. Unfortunately for the Unicorns, another missed assignment left Kiu Lee open in the same spot again, and she again made no mistake scoring her 2nd on the night and tying the game up for Taboo. Overtime - both teams exchanged excellent chances only to miss the net or hit a body, until the final seconds when a missed pass turned into a breakaway for Leon Mo who deked Leung for the game winner with 27 seconds remaining in OT. Both Carson Leung (LPP) and Edward Lee faced 21 shots on the night. Taboo gets back in the win column, while the OT loss puts the Unicorns into a 2nd place tie with Homely. Tonight’s losses by Homely, Lion Rock, and Unicorns, mean only 2 points separate 2nd and 6th positions in the standings. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) 2.

Jennifer Nguyen' Late Goal The Difference
Friday, 18 November 2022 Jennifer Nguyen' Late Goal The Difference A late goal with 1:56 left in the third period by Jennifer Nguyen was the game winner as Sapporo defeated the Sam Wai Raptors 10-8 in another wild Division 1 SCIHL game. Nguyen wristed into the yawning cage after a mad scramble in front of Raptor’s goalie Kevin Rushton. The Raptors must feel like the Vancouver Canucks after squandering leads in multiple games this season. In this game, they had leads of 4-1 and 5-2 but let Sapporo back in the game. Sapporo erased the 5-2 deficit with 3 quick goals in the second in a span of 4 minutes. Jeff Wall regained the Raptor’s lead before the end of the period but it was all Sapporo to start the third. Rhett Willcox, Bryan MacFarlane and Blake Steele did all the damage. But the Wall and Bryan Crane combo got the Raptors back on even terms. Crane had a monster night as it was his 4th goal and it came shorthanded with less than 5 minutes left to play. However, Nguyen’s goal late in the game gave Sapporo the lead and the win. Steele added an empty netter for his 4th of the night. Steele’s motivation was probably having former SCIHL Division 1 all-star, Mark Irwin in attendance for the game. Irwin looked like a GM preparing for next season. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Blake Steele (Sapporo) 2. Bryan Crane (Sam Wai Raptors) 3. Rhett Wilcox (Sapporo) Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 5 Game Summaries
Friday, 18 November 2022 Momentum Swings Every Period Since winning their season opener in a big way, Taboo Devils have been struggling to find another win. Having lost 3 straight, they were looking to right the ship against HoiHoi Pancake House, who were also 1-3 heading into this game. However, it was HoiHoi who struck first, just 44 seconds into the game when Bonnie Lui scored her first of the season off a nice passing play from Donald Chow and Justin Hau. Taboo then controlled the rest of the period and only allowed 3 more shots from HoiHoi in the period while they buzzed in the HoiHoi zone creating numerous scoring chances, only to have Kirsten Rendell hold the fort, in her sparkling white extremely stiff new pads. Towards the end of the period, Hamish Pang intercepted an errant Taboo pass in his own zone and rushed down and deke Anthony Fiscella (subbing in for Edward Lee - out after putting his finger somewhere he shouldn’t have) to make it 2-0. It wasn’t until the end of the period did Taboo finally solve Rendell to keep the score close. In the 2nd, it was HoiHoi that had the early momentum as Donald Chow (LPP) and Hamish Pang scoring again in the first few minutes to increase HoiHoi’s lead to 4-1 before Taboo snapped out of their trance. Taboo scored the next 3 goals, Michael Wong (LPP), Bryan Leung, and Jason Yip tallying and narrowing the gap to tie it at 4. On the last play of the 2nd, HoiHoi’s Captain, Robert Chiu, skated down the left boards, and after considering a centering pass, decided to take a slap shot from a very tight angle that lasered into the far side top corner stunning Fiscella regaining the lead for HoiHoi, 5-4. In the 3rd, the streaky goals continued, with Taboo rattling off the next 3, another from Michael Wong, Kenny Chiu, and Bryan Leung also with his 2nd of the night. 7-5 lead finally for Taboo with 7 minutes left in the game. About a minute later, Hamish Pang completed his hattrick, and shortly after that, Bonnie Lui with her 2nd of the night tied the game at 7. Taboo had a few golden chances to win the game, including a 3 on 1 late in the 3rd, but ended up not even getting a shot on net. We headed into our first overtime session this season. In the 3 on 3 OT, Donald Chow took the puck deep into the corner, lost the puck, won it back, then hit a leg as he tried to pass the puck, but got a lucky bounce, as the puck came back to him, as he moved out in front of the net all alone as he deked Fiscella to win the game for HoiHoi, and increasing Taboo winless streak to 4. Kirsten Rendell saved 17, while Anthony Fiscella (LPP) stopped 19. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (HoiHoi Pancake House) 2. Jason Yip (Taboo Devils) 3. Bonnie Lui (HoiHoi Pancake House) Going ALL the way! Both teams looked inspired after watching the overtime game between HoiHoi and Taboo. Both teams also got a good look at their respective line ups as both teams pretty much had their full teams available. Asiaxpat jumped out of the game with a fast start just 26 seconds into the game. First play into the zone and past the Lion Rock D, Jim Wong fired a low shot past Izzy and the Lion Rock D-men, who were just getting set for the game. 1-0 Asiaxpat. It looked like it was going to be a long day for Lion Rock. However, that seemed to wake them up and the rest of the period was a close checking affair limiting both teams to only a handful of shots each, and it wasn’t until late in the period did Lion Rock quickly tally 2 goals just over a minute apart. Mark Uhrynuk and Bruce Hicks looked like they were 25 again and scored the first 2 goals for Lion Rock. Play continued to be closely contested thru the 2nd period and again, it wasn’t until late in the period, did Eric Pang sneak a shot by Jerome after a long period of control in the Asiaxpat zone. Pang recently back from LTIR providing a much-needed boost to Lion Rock’s offense. 3-1 Lion Rock after 2 periods. Asiaxpat turned on the pressure in the 3rd as Lion Rock seemed to run out of gas, as most of the 3rd period was played in the Lion Rock zone. Izzy had to make a number of point blank saves until Jason Yee snuck one by him midway in the 3rd closing the gap to 1. Late in the period, Lion Rock gave up a powerplay to Asiaxpat and they made no mistake as Michael Wong finished a nice play from Jim Wong and Dave Finifter to tie the game at 3. Neither team could generate much in the 3 on 3 overtime, so we had our first shootout this season. Eric Pang took the first attempt but was stopped easily by Jerome Lui. Jim Wong then tried to deke Izzy, only to get poke checked. Bruce Hicks also stopped by Lui. Next was Michael Wong who faked left, then pulled right across the net, only to have Izzy poke check him as well. Finally, Jasper Chow was able to put one by Lui. Eugene Wong needed to score to continue the shootout, but Izzy was once again up to the task and winning the game for Lion Rock. Jerome Lui faced 21 shots, while Izzy faced 23. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Izumida Koji (Lion Rock) 2. Eric Pang (Lion Rock) 3. Jim Wong (AsiaXpat) Three in a Row for the Unicorns Homely entered the game with their own 3 game winning streak on the line, while the Unicorns were entering this game with their own 2 game streak after narrowly beating HoiHoi 5-4 last game. The Unicorns struck first, just a minute and half in, as Shane Weir finished a rebound off an Andrew Rueger shot. Weir later pinned the Homely defenseman against the side board, forcing the puck loose and into the path of Arthur Tam, who skated up the ice and wired a slapshot just over the pad of Fiscella for a 2-0 lead. Donald Chow responded for Homely scoring off a scramble past goaltender Carson Leung (LPP). Unicorns then regained their 2-goal cushion on a nice 3 way passing play between Weir, Wade, and Tam, going side to side as Tam finished with a top corner shot as Fiscella dived across to take away the lower part of the net. 3-1 for Unicorns after the first. In the 2nd, Waren Ang and Jason Wong put a couple by Leung to tie the game at 3 before Clement Liu skating hard again this week, put one by Fiscella to regain the lead. 4-3 after 2 periods. Early in the 3rd, the Unicorns had a powerplay looking to get a cushion to start the 3rd, but instead, it was Homely’s Chow and Alan Liu who had other plans, stealing the puck and going down 2 on 1 scoring a shorthanded goal tying the game at 4. Were we heading into the 3rd overtime game of the evening? Luckily, during Homely’s own powerplay midway in the 3rd, the Unicorns fierce forechecking by Justin Wong, Clement Liu, and Tracy Wong, created a lucky bounce off the Homely D and into their own net. A shorthanded goal for each team in the 3rd. Homely pushed hard in the final minutes, as the Unicorns desperately defended and breathed a sigh of relief when the final buzzer went off. Carson Leung (LPP) face 21 shots, while Fiscella faced 21 as well. The Unicorns win puts them in a 3-way tie for 2nd after 5 games played, and only 4 points separating the 1st and 6th place teams.

No Lead Is Safe In The SCIHL
Friday, 11 November 2022 No Lead Is Safe In The SCIHL After a week off due to the Land of Smiles tournament in Bangkok, the Division 1 games resumed and things picked up where they were left off. It was goals galore as the RBC Lions and Sam Wai Raptors went back and forth until the Lions pulled away with an 10-8 win. Each team had several 2-goal leads but the Lions second 2 goal lead was the difference. The Lions jumped out to a 4-2 first period lead thanks to a pair of goals by Cole Poliziani. The Raptors stormed back with 4 unanswered goals to start the second period. Scott Strickland scored a pair and added a helper to lead the way. Issac Yip did get one back for the Lions before the period ended which gave them a spark. In the third, Jeff Wall scored 6 minutes into the period to restore the Raptors’ 2-goal lead but once again, the see-saw battler saw the Lions roar back. Kentaro Yanagawa scored 2 quick goals to complete his hat trick and got the Lions back on even terms. Francis Lam put the Lions over the top but 3 minutes later but Stickland also scored hit hat trick goal to tie the game at 8. The dagger for Sam Wai came with 32 seconds left as Lam scored again to give the Lions a 9-8 lead. Julian Ikeda-Thew added an empty netter to seal the deal. Kevin Rushton stopped 30 for Sam Wai while Sammy Wong also stopped 30 in place of Evan Thorpe who is still out with a lower body injury. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bryan Crane (Sam Wai Raptors) 2.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 4 Game Summaries
Friday, 11 November 2022 Where is everyone? Lion Rock GM - Scott Yang's first question leading into this week's game. A combination of people taking advantage of the recently release 0+3 travel rules and injuries decimated Lion Rock's roster this week. Missing 1/2 the roster including most of their top picks, it did not help that lpp's were also hard to come by, while facing a full-strength Homely Sportswear team. Luckily Lion Rock had their rock star goalie - Izumida Koji who as usual stood on his head. It looked like it was going to be a siege from the start as Homely took full advantage of the shorthanded Lion Rock team. However, Lion Rock surprisingly had the first goal as Leon Mo broke out and beat Fiscella with the first shot in the game just 24 seconds in. That quickly woke up Homely and the siege was on. Homely then outshot Lion Rock 23 to 4, and that was just the first period! Donald Chow, Justin Kuok, and Jason Wong tallying, to make it 3-1 after 1. The onslaught continued in the 2nd, as Izzy was able to keep the damage to 1 from Paul Chai, but without any support from the Lion Rock defense, and another 18 shots in the 3rd, Homely rounded out the scoring with 4 more, Donald Chow and Jason Wong with their 2nd of the night, and Rick Chu joining the scoring with 2 of his own. Homely continued to show their dominance early this season with their third win in a row, while Scotty is hoping everyone comes back for the next game! Izzy a faced a staggering 56 shots while Fiscella had to try and stay warm only getting 15 shots in the game. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 2. Rick Chu (Homely Sportswear) 3. Justin Kuok (Homely Sportswear) Where’s the defense? Both goalies were probably asking this question as Asiaxpat and Taboo - 2 offensively setup teams - faced off in the 2nd game. In the first, Taboo took the game to Asiaxpat out shooting them 14 to 6 and coming out with a 3-1 lead. Kenny Chiu leading with 2 goals and assisting on Ernest Tang's first of the year. Jason Yee replied for Asiaxpat late in the period. Jerome Liu pulled the Xpat team aside during the short intermission and must have changed the strategy as a different team came out to start the 2nd. Xpat's top line of Anthony Luk, Michael Wong, and Jason Yee controlled the first 10 minutes of the 2nd period, the line combining for the next 4 goals (Luk and Wong each with 2 goals) and taking a 2-goal lead before Taboo’s Tim Poon scored on the PP late in the 2nd to keep the score closer at 5-4. It was essentially the opposite of the first period, this time Asiaxpat outshooting Taboo 14-5. The 3rd was more evenly played, but Taboo could not stop Michael Wong who scored 3 more times in the 3rd, giving him 5g1a for the evening, and blowing open this game. Jason Yee and Ernst Tang each with their 2nd of the night, rounding out the scoring in a 9-5 win for Asiaxpat. Jerome Lui faced 28, while Edward Lee faced 27. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Kenny Chiu (Taboo) 3. David Finifter (AsiaXpat) Anyone's game HoiHoi and the Unicorns were both coming off their first win of the season last week and looking to make it 2 in a row. However, HoiHoi was missing several of their top players due to injury/travel, but was finally welcoming back their goalie, Kirsten Rendell, who was finally able to play, albeit with an entirely new set of gear! The first period was evenly played and only 1 goal was to be had by Justin Wong after a nice pass from Shane Weir. HoiHoi started the 2nd with a powerplay after Dave Lee was in the box for hooking, and Hamish Pang made them pay tying the game 1-1. The game continued in a tight checking affair for the next 10 minutes until Andrew Ruger was able to break the deadlock only for Alastair Grigg to tie it with his first of the season. The Unicorns then converted on their own powerplay opportunity with Clement Liu putting one by Rendell to regain the lead. 3-2 after the second. This pattern would continue thru the 3rd as HoiHoi would tie the game, then Unicorns regained the lead a few minutes later. Michael Wong (LPP) to tie for HoiHoi, followed by Dominic Ng to regain the lead, then Wong again to tie, and finally Clement Liu scoring the game winner for the Unicorns to cap the scoring. It was quite an exciting game for the fans as the game could have gone either way. Bernard Lam played well stopping 22 shots, while Kirsten well stopping 17 on her debut with a full set of new gear.

Sapporo Needed OT To Win A Wild One
Friday, 28 October 2022 Sapporo Needed OT To Win A Wild One Talk about a roller coaster ride in this game between Sapporo and the RBC Lions. Sapporo jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and were looking to cruise to their first victory over the Lions. The Lions had defeated Sapporo twice earlier with a combined score of 24-7. It looked like the Lions might come back in this one and they did at one point. They scored 4 times in the second period including a late goal by Cole Poliziani to close within 1. Blake Steele, who had 5 points in this game scored the lone second period goal for Sapporo as they hung onto their slim lead. In the third period, the Lions scored twice with goals from Julian Ikeda and Chloe Fong. The come back was complete but Jeff Griffin scored with 22 seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime. In OT, former Lions player Rhett Wilcox beat Kevin Rushton, who subbed in for the injured Evan Thorpe. Rushton stopped 38 while Sammy Wong stopped 16 for Sapporo. The win for Sapporo capped off a wild game between these 2 teams. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Blake Steele (Sapporo) 2. Cole Poliziani (RBC Lions) 3. Brad Wilson (Sapporo) Remember to find us on: 1.

SCIHL Division 3 - Week 3 Game Summaries
Friday, 21 October 2022 17 goal "Barnburner" of a game between AsiaXpat and HoiHoi! Coming into this game, AsiaXpat was 2-0 and HoiHoi 0-2 still looking for their first point of the season. With AsiaXpat rolling well and HoiHoi yet to find their rhythm, it wasn’t looking good for HoiHoi snapping the minor skid. And the first minute only reinforced that thinking as Michael Wong continued his hot start to the season taking a loose puck in his own end and breaking down the left boards, past the D, and then roofing one on a startled Louis Lee (LPP) playing his first SCIHL D3 game subbing in for Kirsten Rendell. However, less than a minute later, last seasons top scorer, Hamish Pang worked some magic after getting a nice feed from Leon Mo (LPP), who was replacing Tommy Wong, as he deked past 3 defenders in close quarters before beating Jerome to tie the game at 1. A minute later, it was Leon Mo getting on the board. AsiaXpat tied it shortly after with Jimmy Lee joining the action, and each team scored again, Pang and Wong again, before the period was over ending the 1st period tied 3-3. They exchange goals to start the 2nd, Jackie Chan for HoiHoi and Jason Yee for AsiaXpat, before Pang took over and scored the next 2 goals to complete his hattrick, giving HoiHoi a 6-4 lead after 2 periods. HoiHoi then blew the game wide open with the next 4 goals, Pang (his 4th of the night) - all 4 goals looking almost identical, followed by Chris Lam, Jason Wong, and Justin Hau (extending his 3-game goal streak), giving HoiHoi a commanding 10-4 lead with 9 minutes to go. AsiaXpat was uncharacteristic this game with a lot of defensive lapses and missed assignments and it cost them. Although they were able to get 3 more goals (Jasper Chow (LPP), Jason Yee with his 2nd, and Eugene Wong), it was too little too late as HoiHoi snapped their losing streak in a big way. Louis Lee (LPP) (HoiHoi) finished the night with 14 saves while Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat) stopped 20. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (HoiHoi) 2. Jackie Chan (HoiHoi) 3. Jasper Chow (AsiaXpat) A game of missed opportunities Both Taboo Devils and Homely Sportswear entered this game with a 1-1 record. Both teams have looked strong so far and this tilt looked to be anyone’s game. Both teams were playing well, as they created and countered each other, and it wasn’t until 7 minutes in did Leon Mo open the scoring for Taboo. However, in the following sequence with Homely pressuring, Taboo defensemen under pressure tried to clear the puck from behind their net up the middle of the ice, only to be intercepted by Donald Chow who walked in and wired a slapshot top corner by Jerome Lui (LPP). They continued to exchange chances and it wasn’t till late in the first did Jason Wong tap in a loose puck after some good forechecking by Alan Lui to force a turnover. Homely taking a 2-1 lead after 1. Early in the 2nd, some more pressure from Alan Lui again resulted in a goal, this time a backdoor finish by Donald Chow, his 2nd of the night. 3-1 Homely but lots of time to go. Taboo continued to press but with nothing to show for all the chances they created. Either they hit the post or were thwarted by Marco “Stand Up” Au (LPP), including turning Mo aside on a couple breakaways and robbing him of a sure goal when a rebound left a gaping left side for Mo to score, only to have Au deflect the shot with his paddle and off the cross bar and out. Kiu Lee also had a beautiful chance, beating Au clean on the blocker side, only to find the post. Near the end of the 3rd period, Taboo had a 5 on 3 power play for almost the entire 2 minutes, and although they had plenty of 'looks', they weren’t able to get many shots on net. Homely holding on to the early 3-1 lead. Both goalies played well as Jerome Lui (LPP - Taboo) stopped 18, while Marco Au (LPP - Homely) stopped 15. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 2. Marco Au (Homely Sportswear) 3. Alan Lui (Homely Sportswear) Unicorns found some magic The Unicorns, after starting 0-2, were hoping they could solve the HK version of the 90’s New Jersey Devils team, after Lion Rock’s 38 shot against win last week. Again, Lion Rock played their defensive shell allowing the Unicorns to take the play to them and hoping for turnover for a counterattack. And it seemed to work as the defense and "Izzy" continued to frustrate the Unicorn offense. It wasn’t until Justin Wong was able to complete a nice play from Weir and Wade that they got one with 4 minutes left in the first. A few shifts later, it was Wong again, jumping on a missed pass and calmly completed his partial breakaway by going 5 hole on Izumida. The defensive shell continued in the 2nd, until Art Tam swatted a loose puck in the slot off the crossbar and in, after Tracy Wong and John Wade had shots turned aside. Lion Rock had several excellent chances including a couple breakaways, only to be stopped by Lam. 3-0 after 2 periods. In the 3rd, Lion Rock started to gamble more, and that resulted in more chances for the Unicorns with Jon Mei jamming a puck in after a passing play between Tracy Wong and Art Tam behind the net. Tam got his 2nd of the night short handed after his shot deflected off the defenseman's stick past Izzy. And Clement Liu one timed a pass from Justin Wong during a 2 on 1 break to round out the scoring giving the Unicorns a convincing 6-0 win. Bernard Lam (Unicorns) with a 14 save shutout, and "Izzy" again facing 36 shots on the night. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bernard Lam (Unicorns) 2. Justin Wong (Unicorns) 3. Arthur Tam (Unicorns)
Rhett's Hatty Was Too Much For The Raptors
October 20th, 2022 Rhett’s Hatty Was Too Much For The Raptors Rhett Wilcox overcame the shock of being traded off the top team in the SCIHL, and scored the overtime winner for Sapporo, in a thrilling 9-8 win. Wilcox’s second goal and OT winner was the same as he barged in past the Sam Wai defence and deked to his forehand past the pad of Craig Gouk, who was once again standing in for Kevin Rushton, who is expected to be back the following game. The game went back and forth with Sapporo taking a 4-2 lead after the first. But in the second period, Sam Wai scored 4 teams to take over the lead 6-4. Jeff Wall made it 7-4 just 22 seconds into the third. A minute later, Wilcox scored his first of the night when he skated into the zone and ripped a shot into the top corner past the blocker of Gouk. Shortly afterwards, Blake Steele closed the gap to 1 and that prompted Sam Wai to take a time out to slow things down. It did for a short period of time until Wilcox tucked in this second of the night. However, Sam Wai regained their lead when Captain Francois Esterhusizen slid one past Sammy Wong as he lost his balance coming across his crease. Then with only 58 seconds remaining, Jeff Griffin made a nice block at the Sapporo blueline to set up a 2 on 1 with Steele. Griffin made a great pass to Steele who made no mistake. The game went into OT where Wilcox finished the game with a dazzling individual effort. Gouk stopped 17 while Wong stopped 24. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Rhett Wilcox (Sapporo) 2. Dennis Toews (Sam Wai) 3. Jeff Griffin (Sapporo)
SCIHL Division 3 - Week 2 Game Summaries
Friday, 21 October 2022 Homely flexes their offense After falling short last game to AsiaXpat, Homely started converting the many chances they generated this week against a shorthanded HoiHoi team who were missing several players from their top line or were late for the start of the game. As Homely carried 80% of the play, this hockey game started resembling a football match where HoiHoi would defend and look for breakout opportunities. However Homely broke thru after a weird bounce off a defenseman after a good save, fooling LPP goalie Carson Leung as the puck trickled behind him. Continued zone pressure by Homely then converted into Donald Chow's first of the season from a nice feed by Justin Kuok. HoiHoi took advantage of an early breakout bounce off a Homely shot into the shin pads as Hamish Pang pulled away from a couple of defenders to score on his patented "I’ll keep using this move if they can't stop me" backhand deke closing the gap to 2-1. However continued pressure by Homely resulted in a couple of rebound goals near the net as Donald Chow got his 2nd of the game, and Rick Chu joined the scoring. HoiHoi replied with a couple goals from Rob (I finally made it to the game) Chiu, and Justin Hau, who’s had an impressive start with goals in 2 straight games this year. But Paul Chai put the game away with a couple goals, one on the powerplay, and Kuok rounding out the scoring completing a 7-3 rout. Carson Leung (LPP( (HoiHoi) finished the night with 17 saves while Anthony Fiscella (Homely) stopped 11. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Rick Chu (Homely Sportswear) 2. Donald Chow (Homely Sportswear) 3. Justin Kuok (Homely Sportswear) AsiaXpat off to a running start this season AsiaXpat continued establishing themselves as early favorites this season with another strong outing this week. The Unicorns were looking much more organized this week as they held off AsiaXpat’s potent offense for a good part of the first period. Michael Wong finally broke the ice with a quick shot in the slot after Jim Wong controlled the puck in his "office" behind the net and fed Michael streaking down the middle unchecked. This became a recurring theme as Jim essentially made the same play 2 more times late in the first, setting up Anthony Luk for 2 very similar goals to make it 3-0 with 2 minutes to go in the first. Anthony commented after the game, that he’s so happy playing on a line with the 2 Wong's as they get all the attention, while he just needs to get open. After finally getting more momentum and generating some of their own zone time, the Unicorns got on the board after some hard work from Clement Liu to control the puck, setting up Justin Wong for the goal giving the Unicorns some hope. The Unicorns started getting some more belief as they continued to play hard keeping the chances even and closing the gap after Tracy Wong fed Arthur Tam on a semi-break beating Jerome Lui low glove. The Unicorns had 3 powerplay opportunities to tie the game, but instead, Jason Yip broke it open with a short-handed goal after Michael Wong won a loose puck and made a nice 2 on 1 play with Yip. In the 3rd, the Unicorns pressed hard outshooting AsiaXpat 12-7 in the 3rd, but Lui shut the door, while Michael Wong notched a 2nd goal midway in the period to close out the scoring. Anthony Fiscella (LPP) (Unicorns) stopped 22, while Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat) stopped 20. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Anthony Luk (AsiaXpat) 3. Jim Wong (AsiaXpat) Defensive showcase put on by Lion Rock HockeyAfter a convincing win last week for Lion Rock over HoiHoi, this week was billed as a much bigger test against the offensive minded Taboo Devils. On paper, Taboo has one of the best offensive line ups in the division, and on the ice this week, there was a buzz throughout the game as more than 2/3 of the game was played in the Lion Rock zone. Taboo controlled the run of play through all 3 periods, and finally opened the scoring on a powerplay goal by Michael Wong (LPP) after a nice setup play from Leon Mo and Billy Fu. But Bruce Hicks from Lion Rock picked off a poor clearing attempt in the Taboo zone and walked in alone to put the equalizer by Edward Lee tying the game at 1. Lion Rock’s Mark Pavey seems to be making it a routine to have 1 end to end rush each game and scoring at the end of it. A similar play to his goal in game 1, he skated down the left side and finished a nice shot to give Lion Rock the lead against the run of play. Taboo doubled down their efforts and hemmed Lion Rock in their own zone the rest of the second period getting 15 shots on net and numerous others being blocked the Lion Rock's defense. It wasn’t until 10 seconds left in the 2nd did Taboo's Leon Mo get one by Izumida Koji ("Izzy") to tie the game at 2. It felt inevitable that Taboo would get the next goal given the continued pressure, but as the period counted down, that goal did not materialize. With 5 minutes left in the 3rd, another of Lion Rocks' defensive core, Jasper Chow, broke out of their zone after a nice pass from Gary Lawrence and jammed a puck by Lee giving Lion Rock the lead. Bruce Hicks got an insurance goal shortly after as Taboo continued to get frustrated by Izzy. Near the end, as Taboo pulled their goalie, it was instead Lion Rock having control, while Taboo’s Billy Fu made kick saves to keep Lion Rock from an empty net goal. In the end, Taboo could not solve Izzy and the big shot blocking defense in front of him, giving Lion Rock their 2nd win of the season. "Izzy" stood on his head stopping 34 shots while Edward Lee stopped 16. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Izumida Koji (Lion Rock Hockey) 2. Bruce Hicks (Lion Rock Hockey) 3. Jasper Chow (Lion Rock Hockey)
Sam Wai Gets Their First Win
October 13th, 2022 Sam Wai Gets Their First Win On a night where the Sam Wai Raptors pick up their first win of the season, they also handed the RBC Lions their first loss of the season. Jeff Wall led the way with 4 goals and 2 assists and credits the team’s passing that contributed to the win. His linemate Bryan Crane wasn't too shabby himself as he scored a hat trick and added a helper. Sam Wai jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Scott Strickland ripped a shot on the short side that beat Sammy Wong, subbing in for Evan Thorpe who has a lower body injury. RBC tied it up when Francis Lam beat LPP goaltender Craig Gouk on his glove side. But just over a minute later, Wall scored on an individual effort to regain Sam Wai’s lead. Crane made it 3-1 before the period ended when Wall's initial shot missed but the puck came out to the other side of the net for an easy tap-in. In the second period, Sam Wai padded their lead as Wall and Crane added to their goal total. RBC could not mustard much and looked out of sync. A far cry from their previous 3 wins in which they dominated each time. Early in the third period saw Julian Ikeda beat Gouk to make it a 5-2 game. But that was as close as RBC got as Sam Wai scored 4 more times to close out the game. Wong stopped 25 shots while Gouk stopped 9 for the win. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Jeff Wall (Sam Wai) 2. Bryan Crane (Sam Wai) 3. Dennis Toews (Sam Wai)
SCIHL Division 3 Opening Night 2022-2023
Friday, 14 October 2022 Reloaded Taboo wins big Taboo reloaded at the draft keeping a number of core players, but added 2 of the top players from last season in Leon Mo and Jason Yip. On paper, Taboo looked dangerous with many scoring threats. They faced the newly formed Unicorns team, who looked like an expansion team in the first 2 periods as they struggled to sort out their lines. Taboo took full advantage of the confusion as they dominated play in the Unicorns end throughout the game. Bryan Leung kicked off the scoring for Taboo this season just over 4 minutes in. The Unicorns were having trouble with the constant cycling from Taboo and after weathering a lot of pressure, the Unicorns finally had some pressure of their own in the Taboo end, unfortunately, that chance quickly disappeared as Jason Yip won a loose puck and chipped it to Kenny Chiu who then sent Michael Wong (LPP), filling in for Keith Hong, on a breakaway, scoring the 2nd Taboo goal with only 36 seconds left in the period. Taboo scored another 2 in the second period from Billy Fu and Jason Yip before Unicorns scored their first goal of the season thru Edwin Lau after some good work by Justin Wong to hang on to the puck. But that was all they had. The Unicorns were only able to muster 2 more shots in the 3rd period, while Taboo continued to pressure Unicorn’s goalie Bernard Lam, with Leon Mo scoring 2 more to complete the scoring. Jerome Liu (LPP) (Taboo) finished the night with 15 saves while Bernard Lam (Unicorns) stopped 24. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Taboo Devils) 2. Kenny Chiu (Taboo Devils) 3. Billy Fu (Taboo Devils) Lion Rock Hockey starts off with a win Newly established Lion Rock Hockey faced off against HoiHoi Pancake House in the 2nd game of the night. Lion Rock is running a more experienced lineup this year versus the young guns on HoiHoi. The game was even as both teams were feeling out new lines and looking for the right chemistry. But it was Lion Rock that got off to the quick start. David Keane, returning to the ice after years of absence, although the cardio is quite there yet, the hockey sense and positioning was, as the finished a bang bang play with Scott Yang to open the scoring. Brian Chiu and Bruce Hicks followed with goals of their own both in tight around the net to put HoiHoi down 3-0 after 9 minutes. Hamish Pang finally responded for HoiHoi at the end of the 1st with a patented end to end rush to make it 3-1. HoiHoi’s Justin Hau was flying tonight and was rewarded with the first of 2 goals on the night giving HoiHoi some hope before Leon Mo (LPP) sent Arthur Tam (LPP) on a breakaway, who beat Brittany O’Halloran off the far post to regain Lion Rock’s 2 goal lead. Another blast from the past - Mark Pavey broke the back of HoiHoi after winning the puck in his own zone while shorthanded and going by 3 players to bury the dagger with a shorthanded goal. 5-2 after 2. The teams exchanged goals in the 3rd to round out the scoring. Izumida Koji (Lion Rock) stopped 18 while Brittany O’Halloran (LPP) (HoiHoi) stopped 15. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Bruce Hicks (Lion Rock Hockey) 2. Leon Mo (LPP) (Lion Rock Hockey) 3. Justin Hau (HoiHoi Pancake House) AsiaXpat's father son duo on fire The talk of the draft this year was AsiaXpat securing both Michael and Jim Wong as somewhat surprise selections by GM Jerome Lui. Based on the first game, it looks like the right move. AsiaXpat took on our 3rd new team this season, Homely Sportswear in the last game of the night. After some initial nerves that allowed Paul Chai to score after a nice feed from Rick Chu, AsiaXpat got on the board after a hard-working effort from Anthony Luk to fight for a loose puck around Fiscella to tie the game. Shortly after, the Wong show started. The line of Michael Wong, Jim Wong, and Jason Yee took over. The trio combined for 9 points, with Michael completing his hattrick in the 3rd period, and Jim scoring the 4th goal for AsiaXpat. They were a threat every shift they were on, and although Homely played well, they were limited to a couple individual efforts from Gavino Ng, and Justin Kuok as they couldn’t convert zone time to good scoring changes, and when they did, Jerome Liu shut the gate. In the end Homely outshot AsiaXpat 29:24 but couldn’t shut down the father son duo. Jerome Liu (AsiaXpat) stopped 26 shots while Anthony Fiscella (Homely) stopped 19. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Jim Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat)
Sapporo's First Win Keeps Sam Wai Winless
October 9th, 2022 One team was going to pick up their first win of the season. And the winner is ... Sapporo as they defeated the Sam Wai Raptors 8-7. A late goal by Jeff Griffin put the dagger of the hearts of the Sam Wai team who battled hard to even the game. Unfortunately, Sam Wai Raptors goaltender Evan Thorpe, who stepped in for Kevin Rushton, suffered a knee injury mid-way in to the third period, Thorpe did his best to keep playing as no backup goaltender was available. At the end, Griffin was able to poke in a loose puck with 34 seconds left in the third. Sam Wai tried their best at the end but came up short. It was a great game as both teams went back and forth. Despite going up 4-1 early in the second period, Sam Wai clawed their way back. Their offence got a boost with the Bryan Crane making his season debut. Tied 4-4, heading into the third, the teams traded goals including Sam Wai’s Jaren Folden's first goal in his first game. At the end, it was Griffin’s goal that sealed the deal giving Sapporo their first win of the season. Sam Wai is now 0-2 and will face the unbeaten RBC Lions. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Jeff Griffin (Sapporo) 2. Jeff Wall (Sam Wai) 3 . Rob Speers (Sapporo)
The RBC Lions Look Unbeatable
October 7th, 2022 The RBC Lions once again pounced on Sapporo with a 12-3 win, slightly improving on the score of 12-4 in their first meeting. Julian Ikeda-Thew remained hot as he scored 4 times and added 1 helper while Lokel Wong, also had a dominating game racking up 5 points. Julian opened the scoring just 1:26 into the period as he was sent in all alone and made a nice deke on goaltender Sammy Wong for an early lead. Jeff Griffin tied the game on a wrister that fooled RBC goaltender Evan Thorpe. But it was all RBC for the rest of the period. They scored 4 more times including one from Douglas Lee who converted in his own rebound while on a power play. In the second period, Sapporo showed some life as Blake Steele scored just 30 seconds in. He scored his second of the game mid-way through the period and all of a sudden, it was a 5-3 game. However, that is how close Sapporo got. RBC scored 3 more times in the period for an 8-3 lead. In the third period, RBC scored 4 more times to round out the scoring. Sammy Wong didn’t get too much help and was probably looking forward to hearing the horn sound to end the game. At the other end, Thorpe was sharp and stopped 14 of 17 shots. Overshadowed was Francis Lam’s hat trick as he has quietly racked up the points. Lokel Wong’s post-game interview was a classic as he 'thanked' his former coach, Norm Chin who has retired and moved back to Canada. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Lokel Wong (RBC Lions) 2. Julian Ikeda-Thew (RBC Lions) 3. Francis Lam (RBC Lions)
Late Power Play Goal Gives RBC Lions The Win
September 30th, 2022 A Late Power Play Goal Gives RBC Lions The Win Francis Lam's hat trick was the difference as he led the RBC Lions to a 6-4 win over the Sam Wai Raptors. Lam was parked on the right side of the goaltender Craig Gouk, subbing in for Kevin Rushton, and slammed in a perfect pass from Lokel Wong for the go ahead goal with just 2:09 remaining. It was a tough break for the Raptors who battled back when Dennis Toews tied the game up mid-way into the period. Raptor’s Jeff Wall had opened the scoring on a wrap-around beating Sammy Wong, who subbed in for Evan Thorpe. The lead was short lived as 33 seconds later, Cooper Fang wristed a shot through the legs of Gouk. In the second period, the teams traded a pair of goals. Lam put the Lions up 2-1 but the Raptors scored 2 of their own with Wall getting his second and Toews with this first. But Cole Poliziani tied the game up before the period ended. Lam's heroics in the third period were too much for the Raptors to handle. The Raptors also looked like they need a few more games to get into the rhythm as many were off for the summer. Wong played a solid game as he stopped 22 while Gouk stopped 21. With the win, the Lions remain perfect at 2-0. Burger Joy’s Three Stars: 1. Francis Lam (RBC Lions) 2. Lokel Wong (RBC Lions) 3. Jeff Wall (Sam Wai Raptors)
RBC Lions Off To A Roaring Start!
September 23rd, 2022 RBC Lions Off To A Roaring Start! The RBC Lions got off to a great start with a convincing 12-4 win over Sapporo. Led by Julian Ikeda-Thew's 5 goals, the Lions had no problems with the Sapporo team who looked like they still had some rust from the summer. Lleyton Lam opened the scoring just over 2 minutes into the period on a nice 3-way passing play with Lokel Wong and Cole Poliziani. Rhett Willcox made it 2-0 as he finished off a centering pass from Francis Lam. Sapporo goalie Sammy Wong did all he could to keep his team in it with several great saves. In the second period, Julian began to heat up and scored a pair to give the RBC Lions a commanding 4-0 lead. Sapporo finally found their legs, albeit for a short period of time, and slowly climbed their way out of a deep hole. Rob Speers was able to capitalize on a great passing play with Blake Steele and Bradley Wilson as he beat LPP goalie Craig Gouk. A few minutes later, it was Speers again converting a rebound and all of a sudden, Sapporo was back in the game. But the excitement was short-lived as Isaac Yip ripped a slapshot on a semi-breakaway, past the blocker of Wong to regain RBC's 3 goal lead. Before the period ended, Julian completed his hat trick as he ripped a high shot pass the glove of Wong to put RBC up 6-2. In the third period, it was all Lions again. They scored 4 more unanswered goals to start the period and 2 more as the end. Sandwiched in between were goals from Wilson and Steele. Other notables for the Lions were Francis Lam who scored a pair and added a couple assists while Chloe Fong had a goal and 3 assists. Gouk finished the night with 15 saves while Wong stopped 24. The Lions face the Sam Wai Raptors while Sapporo gets a bye this week coming week. Burger Joy's Three Stars: 1. Julian Ikeda-Thew (RBC Lions) 2. Francis Lam (RBC Lions) 3. Chloe Fong (RBC Lions)

Division 3 - Semi-Finals Game Summaries
June 17th, 2022 Bravo holds on to advance After taking game 1, Bravo was going to face a much tougher game this week with everyone available for Taboo. Bravo was outplayed most of this game as Taboo was able to roll 3 balanced lines from the start with most of the play in the Bravo end. Taboo outshot Bravo 10 - 6 in the first period alone unfortunately on several rebounds just going wide of the net. The only goal went to Leon Mo after a rare 2 on 1 was allowed by Taboo. The 2nd period was much more even with both teams getting a goal, Mo again for Bravo, and Bryan Leung for Taboo. Entering the 3rd period trailing 1-2, Taboo again pressed Bravo, but Keira Mok was up to the test keeping Taboo off the scoresheet. Mo completed his hattrick with 7 min remaining after being released by Jason Yip for a breakaway and closed out the scoring with an empty netter. Arthur Chan stopped 18 shots while Keira Mok stopped 27. The Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Bravo) 2. Keira Mok (Bravo) 3. Art Tam (Bravo) AsiaXpat cruises into the finals HoiHoi came out for this elimination game with only 7 skaters. The crowd kept looking to see if players were just late, but 2 subs were all they had on the bench. Surprisingly, HoiHoi played strong in the first, keeping a stacked AsiaXpat team to one goal from the leading playoff scorer - Hamish Pang. However, the relentless pressure from AsiaXpat wore HoiHoi down, as they broke thru with 2 goals in the 2nd, first from Hikki So, followed by Jasper Chow. Hamish completed his hattrick early in the 3rd with 2 more goals to put the game out of reach of the short handed HoiHoi team. The only bright spot were when they spoiled Jerome Lui’s shutout bid late in the 3rd. Roger Li rounded out the scoring as AsiaXpat cruised into the final with a 6-1 victory over HoiHoi. Jerome Lui faced 8 shots while Anthony Fiscella faced 25 shots. The Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Jasper Chow (AsiaXpat) 3. Nikki So (AsiaXpat)
Division 3 - Semi-Finals Game Summaries
June 10th, 2022 AsiaXpat takes Game 1 in a dominant manner AsiaXpat kicked off the 2021-22 SCIHL playoffs with a splash against 4th seeded HoiHoi. Xpat showed why they were #1 through the season by coming out strong and taking the play to HoiHoi from the start. The pressure led to an early powerplay goal for Hamish Pang. Midway through the 1st, Josh Steinhaus finished a nice pass from Jimmy Lee. Hamish scored his 2nd while shorthanded to give AsiaXpat a comfortable 3-0 lead at the end of the 3rd. HoiHoi had a better 2nd period with Boy Chung cutting through the Xpat team and scoring top corner on Lui’s blocker side to give them some hope. However, Hamish completed his hattrick less than a minute after to restore the 3-goal lead. Jason Wong finished a scramble in front of the net to get HoiHoi a powerplay goal before the end of the 2nd closing the score to 4-2. Game on again - or so HoiHoi believed. Steinhaus struck in the first minute of the 3rd and Xpat then dominated play in the 3rd with a 14-3 shot count, getting 2 more goals, one from Roger Li, and Hamish again with his 4th of the night to round out the scoring. HoiHoi will need to review their game plan if they want to extend the series to 3 games. Jerome Lui faced 16 shots while Anthony Fiscella faced 31 shots. The Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Josh Steinhaus (AsiaXpat) 3. Jasper Chow (AsiaXpat) Bravo dominates Game 1 The other semi was billed to a much closer matchup between Taboo Devils and Bravo, however Taboo were missing their top line for Game 1 and it showed. Bravo opened with 2 goals in the 1st period, and 4 more goals in the 2nd period, all from the "YTM" line before Taboo replied with their first goal midway in the 3rd period by John Wade. Wade scored a 2nd goal towards the end but it was too little too late. Taboo will look to recover in Game 2 as they are expected to have a full lineup. Arthur Chan stopped 20 shots while Keira Mok stopped 13. The Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Bravo) 2. Art Tam (Bravo) 3. Jason Yip (Bravo)
SCIHL Division 2 Champions - Sapporo
June 6th, 2022 Sapporo Wins Back To Back Championships Sapporo became the second team to win back-to-back SCIHL championships at the Elements Ice Rink. The other team that won consecutive championships, the Sam Wai Raptors. The Raptors were the favourites heading into this game as they have not lost during the season. Sapporo's defence smothered the high-octane offence of the Raptors and they scored timely goals which was the difference. Sapporo goaltender Loron Orris has a great game. He was very good but also got some lady luck on his side as the Raptors rang several shots off the crossbar and posts. Paul Chai scored the game's opening goal in the first period during a power play as he deflected a shot from Terence Chim. Chim made it 2-0 early in the second period when he finished off a 2-0 with John Ng. Goaltender Grant Phillips did his best to keep his team in it with a number of highlight reel saves including one late in the period when Chim had a wide-open net only to have Phillips reach back with an amazing glove save. That was pretty much all Sapporo needed as they were able to shut down Francois Esterhuizen and company. It was an unfortunate way to end the season for Sam Wai but credit Sapporo for a well-played game. Orris stopped all 29 shots while Phillips stopped 31. Special thanks to all the sponsors, players, staff and game officials for their hard work and support to help the SCIHL get through a tough year. We hope that everyone will return for the 2022-2023 season! Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Loron Orris (Sapporo) 2. Terence Chim (Sapporo) 3. John Ng (Sapporo)
SCIHL Division 1 Champions - Manulife
June 3rd, 2022 Manulife Defeated HKBN 7-3 To Win The Division 1 Championship They always say, it doesn't matter how you start, it's the way you finish. After starting the season 1-4, Manulife pulled through when it counted. Led by Ben MacAskill's 4 points, Manulife outplayed HKBN to capture the first Division 1 title at the Discovery Bay Ice Rink. On the contrary, HKBN started the season strong going 8-0 and were the heavy favourites to win the Championship. However, like most things, covid-19 put a wrench into their plans. With the loss of players like Eric Molander, Nic Winchester, Jesse Lussier, Dennis Toews and Bryan Crane, they were outmatched in the Final. Manulife took a 4-0 first period lead and did not look back. MacAskill went end to end and fired a shot through the arms of HKBN goaltender Dean Tzembelikos for the opening goal. Jared Scotchmer made it 2-0 off a goal mouth scramble and MacAskill made it 3-0 with a wicked shot in the slot. Francois Esterhuizen made it 4-0 when he came out of the penalty box, picked up the puck and fired a shot past the blocker of Tzembelikos. In the second period, the teams exchanged a pair of goals beginning with Jeff Wall when he finally beat Manulife goaltender Ray Loo. Loo had his fan club in attendance which gave him some mojo on a strong game. Kevin O'toole made it 5-1 only to have Whitney Olsen reply back for HKBN. Before the period ended, Corey Gaston regained the 4-goal lead for Manulife. In the third period, the game was pretty much all but over. The HKBN, with only 7 players were gassed and captain Jon Szychta did all he can just like the regular season. Manulife and Loo shut the door the rest of the way. Loo stopped 29 shots while Tzembelikos stopped 44. Final score, 7-3 for Manulife. A fitting way to end a 15-year career in Hong Kong for Gaston who returns to Canada as a Champion. The Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Ben MacAskill (Manulife) 2. Corey Gaston (Manulife) 3. Jared Scotchmer (Manulife)

Division 2 - Semi-Finals Game Results
May 30th, 2022 Three's A Crowd They say things happens in 3's. Well, it certainly did wonders for Sapporo, who defeated AsiaXpat easily, 8-1 in the Division 2 semi-final. It took them 3 games by taking the series 2-1. In game 3, there were 3 players with 3 points to lead the way. Scott Strickland, Terence Chim and John Ng led the way with a pair of goals and an assist. Sapporo wasted no time early on and took an early 2-0 lead just 3:27 into the game on goals from Ng and Justin Kuok. Ng then scored his second before the period ended for a 3-0 lead. AsiaXpat could not get anything going in this game as they were forced to take long shots which Sapporo goaltender Loron Orris had little trouble with. In the second period, Sapporo took a 5-1 lead. Sandwiched in between Chim's goals was Michael Wong's goal which gave AsiaXpat some faint hope. Wong has been a bright spot for AsiaXpat and great to see his game evolve. In the third period, the game it was pretty much settled as Sapporo put the game away with 3 more. With the win, Sapporo now faces the Sam Wai Raptors on Sunday, June 5th in a repeat matchup from 2019. The Burger Joys 3 Stars: 1. Scott Strickland (Sapporo) 2. Terence Chim (Sapporo) 3.

Division 2 - Semi-Finals Game Summaries
May 23rd, 2022 The Comeback Kids of 2022 The 2021 Sapporo team was known for their amazing comebacks and the 2022 team? Well, pretty much the same as they came back with a 4-3 win to even the series against AsiaXpat. AsiaXpat dominated the first period and led 2-0 on goals from the Wong father and son combo. Jim Wong opened the scoring and his son Michael put AsiaXpat up 2-0 on a late shorthanded goal. In the second period, it was Jim that put AsiaXpat up 3-0. You know what they say... 3-0 is the worst lead in Hockey and it was proven. Sapporo stormed back with 3 unanswered goals before the end of the period. Justin Kuok got things started in his first game back since the covid pause. Scott Stricktland and Terence Chim scored in a span of 6 minutes to tie the game. In the third period, AsiaXapt refocused and regained their lead when Michael scored his second shorthanded goal of the night. But once again, Sapporo came back on Chim's second goal of the game and overtime was needed. Off of the opening faceoff, Chim came into the AsiaXpat zone only to be tripped up by Justin Wong. On the ensuing power play, Strickland finished off a centering pass from Chim, beating goaltender Kevin Rushton for the game winner. Rushton finished the night with 22 saves while Loron Orris stopped 20 for Sapporo. The Three Stars: 1. Scott Strickland (Sapporo) 2. Terence Chim (Sapporo) 3. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) Tyrrell's Hatty Leads Sam Wai Into The Final Sean Tyrell’s hat trick gives the Sam Wai Raptors a 7-2 win over Bravo and sends them into the SCIHL Final for the 3rd time in the past 4 seasons. The Raptors jumped out front early on thanks in large part to the return of Art Tam. Tam opened the scoring on a nice passing play with Keith Fong... Just like good old times. Tam scored his second of the night when he connected with Tyrrell a few minutes later. After building up a 5-0 lead, Peter Yeung got one back for Bravo before the period ended as he was allowed to skate into the zone and wristed a shot past goaltender Grant Phillips. In the second period, Bravo controlled most the play early on and they were able to cut the lead to 3 when John Ng beat Phillips on his stick side. With Bravo carrying most of the play, Tyrrell poked in a loose puck past goaltender Scotty Yang to regain the 4-goal lead for Sam Wai. That goal took the wind out of the Bravo sails and that was pretty much it as the Raptors held on for the win. Tyrrell added one more in the third to complete his hat trick. Phillips stopped 22 while Yang stopped 23. The Three Stars: 1. Sean Tyrrell (Sam Wai) 2. Art Tam (Sam Wai) 3. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai)
Division 3 - Game Summaries
May 20th, 2022 AsiaXpat holds off Bravo for first win post Covid break AsiaXpat finally rediscovered their winning ways. After torching the competition up to the start of 2022, they struggled to shake off the rust after the long covid break losing 3 straight (the last 2 in OT). AsiaXpat seem to be turning it around just in time for the upcoming playoffs beating Bravo in a close 2-1 game where both goalies shined. Leon Mo opened the scoring for Bravo but was quickly answered by Eric Pang to even it up. The teams exchanged chances with nothing to show until Josh Steinhaus put one by Keira Mok, joining Bravo at the roster freeze replacing Antony Chan, mid-way in the 3rd. That was enough for Jerome who then shut down Bravo for the remainder of the game giving AsiaXpat a much needed 2-1 win. Bravo had lots of powerplay time but could not convert. Burger Joys 3 Stars: 1. Josh Steinhaus (AsiaXpat) 2. Eric Pang (AsiaXpat) 3. Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat) Taboo takes top spot in standings with a game remaining Taboo rattled off their 4th straight win since the restart to take first overall in the standings with a convincing 7-3 win over HoiHoi who is not at risk of not making the playoffs with one game remaining in the regular season. Kenny Chiu, and Danny Chiu led the way bringing a balanced multi-line attack from Taboo facing a short handed HoiHoi team. The only thing in question is whether Taboo will finish the regular season in top spot as they face Bravo next week while AsiaXpat face CHG who are fighting for the final playoff spot. Anthony Fiscella who replaces Sam Wong for the remainder of the season had a strong game for HoiHoi facing 28 shots while David Lam LPP for Taboo faced 19. Burger Joys Three Stars: 1. Joseph Kiu (Taboo Devils) 2. Danny Chiu (Taboo Devils) 3. Josh Steinhaus (HoiHoi) CHG Keeps Their Playoff Hopes Alive A must win game for CHG and they came out strong with 3 goals to start the game. 2 from Ryan Culliton and one from Theo Wong. It wasn’t until the 3rd period that InetAsia was able to solve Edward Lee who was sharp. Inet made it 3-2 midway in the 3rd with 2 goals from Donald Chow, only to have CHG dig deeper and pull away with 2 more from Reston Ko, and Hugo Fan to seal the win. Next week will be a tough game for CHG if they want a chance to make the playoffs playing against a resurgent AsiaXpat team. Edward Lee stopped 17, while Kirsten Rendell stopped 19. Burger Joys 3 Stars: 1. Ryan Culliton (China Hockey Group) 2. Theophilus Wong (China Hockey Group) 3. Edward Lee (China Hockey Group)

Division 1 - Semi-Finals Game Summaries
May 20th, 2022 Szychta’s Heroics Sends HKBN Into The Final with a 4-2 Win Jon Szychta's late goal in the second period on a power play, was the game winner as HKBN punched their ticket into the SCIHL Final. Szychta broke a 2-2 tie when he found himself all alone in the slot and beat RBC Lion's goaltender Avery Gobbo. Caden Wee had opened the scoring in the first when he beat HKBN goaltender Daryl Wong, who was subbing in for Dean Tzembelikos. HKBN tied it up a few minutes later when newcomer Sam Kiselev was 'johnny on the spot' as he slapped in a shot from the slot that beat Gobbo. In the second period, Ben MacAskill regained the lead for the Lions on an individual effort. But once again, HKBN tied the game when Jeff Wall finished off a pretty passing play with Szychta and Mike Vander Kooi. With 10 seconds remaining and MacAskill in the box, Szychta put HKBN up 3-2. In the third, HKBN had to hang on dearly as the Lions tried to claw their way back but Wong stood tall and made some great saves to keep the lead. Dan Zyvitski added an empty netter as HKBN hangs on for a tough series win, Wong finished the night with 23 saves while Gobbo stopped 34. The Three Stars: 1. Jon Szychta (HKBN) 2. Daryl Wong (HKBN) 3. Dan Zyvitski (HKBN) O'toole On Fire! Kevin O'toole scored 4 times and added 2 helpers as Manulife dominated the Lake Of The Woods team (LOTW) with a 10-3 win. Despite the score, it was actually a tight game after the first period as the teams were tied 1-1. O'toole opened the scoring at the 7:30 mark only to have Doug Lightbound tied the game up a few minutes later. It was a huge second period for Manulife as they ran away with the game with 6 unanswered goals. It was not a good night for LOTW goaltender Avery Gobbo however, he was left alone in several occasions as his defence could not stop the offensive onslaught. O'toole scored the last 3 consecutive goals in the period to complete a natural hat trick. The third period was a moot point as LOTW could not mustard much offence against a the Manulife defence. Manulife goaltender Ray Loo had a solid game as he stopped 28. Gobbo ended the night with 46 saves. The Three Stars: 1. Kevin O’toole (Manulife) 2. Jeff Griffin (Manulife) 3. Darren Hynes (Manulife)
Division 2 - Semi-Finals Game Summaries
May 17th, 2022 Stone Cold Grant Phillips Shuts The Door For Game 1 Sam Wai Raptors goaltender Grant Phillips was in playoff mode as he stopped all 18 shots for his first shutout of the season, giving his team a 7-0 win and a series 1-0 lead over Bravo. Despite the score, the game was a hard-fought battle with Bravo's new players in the lineup. Theo Wong replaced Jason Klotz while Peter Yeung and Boy Chung added an extra speedy gear to Bravo's arsenal. Sam Wai jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead, led by Sean Tyrell’s pair and Mark Uhrynuk's goal with 5 seconds remining. Mid-way in the second period, Keith Hong returned for the Raptors line up and beat Bravo goaltender Scott Yang for a 4-0 lead. The goal was an important one with Bravo coming on in the play. 4-0 vs 3-1 heading in the third would be a huge difference. In the third period, the Raptors sealed the deal with 3 quick goals in a span of just under 5 minutes and cruised to a 7-0 lead. The only thing left to answer is if Philips would get the shutout. Phillips was very good but also lucky when he gambled on a play on a race for a loose puck with Bravo’s Doug Lightbound. Lightbound won the race but the puck slid off his stick due to poor ice conditions. Good to be lucky and lucky to be good! The Three Stars: 1. Grant Phillips (Sam Wai) 2. Sean Tyrrell (Sam Wai) 3. Keith Hong (Sam Wai) AsiaXpat Takes Game 1 (Barely) Justin Wong had a big night with 4 points leading the way as AsiaXpat built up a 5-1 lead into the third period but had to hang on for a 5-4 win over Sapporo in Game 1 of the best of 3 series. Kenyon Tse and Josh Steinhaus gave AsiaXpat an early 2-0 lead but Alton Ho replied back for Sapporo. Before the period ended, Steinhaus scored his second to restore AsiaXpat’s 2 goal lead. In the second period, David Finifter and Justin Wong put AsiaXpat in a comfortable 5-1 lead as they both found the back of the net past goaltender Loron Orris. Or perhaps they thought it was a comfortable lead? Because in the third period Sapporo finally woke up and turned up the heat by scoring 3 times with a pair of goals from Terence Chim and Paul Chai. Sapporo almost tied the game with a few minutes left but goaltender Kevin Rushton made several spectacular saves. Rushton stopped 34 while Rushton stopped 15. The Three Stars: 1. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) 2. Keving Rushton (AsiaXpat) 3. Keyon Tse (AsiaXpat)

May 7th, 2022 David Belluche In Beast Mode With 6 Points LOTW finally picked up their first win in 2022 with a 10-3 win over Manulife. David Belluche had a monster night, scoring 4 times and added a pair of helpers to lead the way. It was a quiet first period with Manulife's Francois Esterhuizen scoring the lone goal on LOTW goaltender Avery Gobbo, subbing in for Evan Thorpe. In the second period, Belluche took the game into his own hands and rallied his team to score 4 unanswered goals. Dennis Toews got things going 13 seconds into the period. Belluche scored his first just over a minute later and all of a sudden, LOTW took a 2-1 lead. Belluche made it 3-1 when he beat Manulife goaltender Ray Loo who at this point, was still somewhat enjoying the game. Jonas Gullstrand made it 4-1 before Bradley Wilson closed the gap to 2 with just over a minute left to play in the period. Off the opening third period faceoff, Bryan Crane (LPP) gave Manulife some life when he was able to beat Gobbo and all of a sudden, it was a 1 goal game. The excitement for Manulife was short lived as LOTW turned up the heat. They scored 6 unanswered goals to put the game way out of reach. Belluche scored 2 more for a total of 4 goals and helped set up a couple of beauties. Toews completed his hat trick with a pair in the period while Jon Szychta also contributed with a couple of goals. Loo and Manulife did not know what hit them... Well, it was Belluche in beast mode!

May 2nd, 2022 Strickland's Hat Trick Too Much for Bravo Sapporo crushed Bravo 10-1 in the final game prior to the start of the SCIHL Playoffs. It was also the final game for Bravo’s Jason Klotz as he leaves Hong Kong to his next adventure. Unfortunately for Klotz and his teammates, the result was not the one they would like but they gave it their best. It was 3-0 after the first and 8-0 at one point in the second period until, you’ve guessed it, Klotz scored for Bravo. Overshadowed in this game was Scott Strickland’s natural hat trick in the second period as he was an unstoppable force with his tenacious forechecking. Sapporo's goaltender Loron Orris had a quietly solid game and made the stops when needed. At the other end, Bravo goaltender Scott Yang did what he could with a 37-save performance. The playoffs have been moved up to start this coming Sunday (15 May) with Bravo facing Sam Wai and Sapporo plays AsiaXpat in other Semi-Finals. The SCIHL wishes Jason Klotz and his family the best of luck - thank you for your support! The Three Stars: 1. Scott Strickland (Sapporo) 2. Loron Orris (Sapporo) 3. Alton Ho (Sapporo) A Playoff Type Feeling With the SCIHL Playoffs scheduled to start this coming Sunday, the Sam Wai and AsiaXpat game felt like they have already started. It was a very intense game with both teams not giving the other team any room out there. The first period looked like a breeze for Sam Wai as they took a 3-0 lead with Sean Tyrell scoring a pair and Francois Esterhuizen scoring the other. Early in the second period, AsiaXpat finally was able to beat Sam Wai goaltender Grant Phillips. Well, they didn't really beat him, it was the Sam Wai defence that accidentally tipped in a shot past their own goaltender. Nonetheless, Francois regained the 3-goal lead with an individual effort. Things got really interesting before the period ended as AsiaXpat scored a pair of goals, both by Michael Wong. Michael's father, Jim Wong, a veteran in the SCIHL, tied the game early in the third. Sam Wai did not panic and settled things down and regained their lead when Francois competed his hat trick, just 3 mins later after Jim's goal. That was the game winner as Sam Wai held on for the win. AsiaXpat goaltender Kevin Rushton was solid and stopped 28 while Phillips stopped 23. If this was any indication of how the playoff will be, we are in for a treat! The Three Stars: 1. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 2. David Finifter (AsiaXpat 3. Sean Tyrrell (Sam Wai)
Division 1 - Game Recap
April 29th, 2022 Back On Track After suffering their first and only loss of the season last week, HKBN got back on track with a convincing 10-5 win over Lake Of The Woods (LOTW). HKBN welcomed Bryan Crane back in the lineup as he scored 4 times and added a pair of assists. His line was on fire! Probably the best line in Div 1, Crane, Jon Szychta and Jeff Wall, combined for a total of 15 points. HKBN led 2-1 after the first period as Crane scored his first two goals in the first 5 minutes of the game before Scott Strickland replied back for LOTW. There was a flurry of goals in the second period. Wall got things going 17 seconds into the period as he fired a shot past the blocker of LOTW goaltender Evan Thorpe. Corey Gaston (LPP) beat HKBN goaltender Dean Tzembelikos to keep it a one goal game but Szychta and Wall had other plans as they replied by for HKBN for a 5-2 lead. Before the period ended, Dave Belluche got one back for LOTW to keep within striking distance. It was a wild third period as the teams scored a combined 7 goals. HKBN newcomer Sam Kiselev got things going 49 second in when he converted a 3-way passing play with Dennis Toews and Mike Vander Kooi for his first goal of the season. Crane and Toews then scored to put the game away for HKBN as they led 8-3 at this point. Each team scored 2 more for the final scored of 10-5. Despite allowing 10, Thorpe did his best for LOTW. However, costly giveaways did not make things easy. Thorpe stopped 33 while Tzembelikos stopped 24. The Three Stars: 1. Bryan Crane - HKBN 2. Jon Szychta - HKBN 3. Jeff Wall - HKBN

Division 2 - Game Summaries
April 25th, 2022 AsiaXpat Defeated Sapporo 4-2 In A Battle For Second A strong first period by AsiaXpat, paved the way for a 4-2 win over Sapporo. It was John Ng that got Sapporo on the board first when his end to end rush beat goaltender Kevin Rushton. But in a span of just over 2 minutes, AsiaXpat stormed back with 3 unanswered goals led by Josh Steinhaus, Michael Wong and David Finifter. In the second period, Scott Strickland got one back for Sapporo but it was Steinhaus with his second of the night to regain AsiaXpat’s 2 goal lead. In the third period, the goalies took over. Rushton was brilliant as he looked like he was in mid-season form while at the other end, Loron Orris also had a solid game. AsiaXpat also got a great game out of Michael Wong, who was flying all over the ice. Wong added 3 assists to his lone goal. With the win, AsiaXpat sits alone with second place, 2 points ahead of Sapporo. The Three Stars: 1. Kevin Rushton (AsiaXpat) 2. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Josh Steinhaus (AsiaXpat) The Sam Wai Raptor Continued Where They Left Off The Sam Wai Raptors crushed Bravo 12-1 with their 8 straight wins to start off the season. Led by Sean Tyrrell's 7 goals and 1 assist, the Raptors had little trouble leading 4-0 after the first period and 9-0 after the second period. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a game like that" said Tyrrell after the game, referring to his 8 points in a single game. Despite missing the likes of Keith Hong, Art Tam and Chad Fairfoull, Jimmy Wong and his son Michael Wong filled in nicely. With the game pretty much in the bag for Sam Wai heading into the third, the remaining question would be to see if Raptors’ goalie Grant Phillips can win with a shutout. Jason Klotz had other ideas as he went in all alone on Phillips and beat him on the stick side. The Raptors went on to score another 3 goals to cap off a huge offensive performance. The Three Stars: 1. Sean Tyrrell (Sam Wai) 2. Mark Uhrynuk (Sam Wai) 3. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai)

April 22nd, 2022 RBC Lions Hands HKBN First Loss We're back... Finally, after a 4 month pause from the Covid-19 restrictions. It looked like the young RBC Lions found their stride and legs and defeated HKBN 5-4 in an exciting game. Led by a couple of future stars in Owen Kwok and Sammy Wong, the Lions also got a boost with coach Ben MacAskill and goaltending coach Avery Gobbo in the lineup. It was HKBN that scored the game’s opening goal when Scott Strickland (LPP) wired a shot from the point that beat Gobbo who appeared to be screened. That was the only goal in the period as both goalies looked sharp. In the second period, Wong tied the game up on a power play. Set up by Kwok and Isaac Yip, Wong was parked in front of goaltender Dean Tzembelikos and converted a centering pass. It remained tied after 2 periods, setting up a nail biter in the third. The teams traded goals going back and forth. It was Kwok giving RBC a 2-1 lead, followed by Dennis Toews tying the game, followed by Alyssa Ho regaining the lead, followed by Jonathan Szychta tying the game again and less than a minute later, MacAskill put the Lions up 4-3 with just over 5 minutes left to play. Wong gave RBC some insurance when he poked in a rebound past Tzembelikos. It was a huge goal because Rob Speers got one back for HKBN but Gobbo was able to shut the door, giving the RBC Lions the win. The win also snapped HKBN's perfect season as they suffered their first loss. Gobbo stopped 25 while Tzembelikos stopped 28. The Three Stars: 1. Owen Kwok (RBC Lions) 2. Sammy Wong (RBC Lions) 3. Dennis Toews (HKBN) Manulife Steam-rolled LOTW In A Lop-sided Win Jeff Wall (LPP) and Ben MacAskill combined for 13 points as Manulife crushed LOTW 16-6. It was only 4-4 after the first period but a strong second period by Manulife was the difference. The teams went back and forth in the first with David Belluche leading the way for LOTW by scoring their first 3 goals. Jeff Griffin also had a solid game for Manulife as he potted a pair in the first period. However, in the second period, Manulife scored 5 unanswered goals to for an insurmountable lead. Jeff Griffin competed hit hat trick and Whitney Olsen got into the act with a goal and assist in the period, but it was basically all MacAskill and Wall as these 2 put on a show with some great passing and back door tap-ins which LOTW had no answer for, Costly turnovers by LOTW didn’t help as well. LOTW goaltender Even Thorpe, despite giving up 16 goals, did what he had to do and it could have been worst if he did not save all the breakaways that Manulife had. Dennis Toews got one back for LOTW but before the period ended, Manulife scored another 3 unanswered goals. With a 12-5 lead going into the third, the game was pretty much over. Manulife scored another 4 more and Belluche scored his 4th of the game but that was it... finally. Loo stopped 28 while Thorpe stopped 39. The Three Stars: 1. Jeff Wall (Manulife) 2. Ben MacAskill (Manulife) 3. Dave Belluche (LOTW)

Division 3 - Game Summaries
January 7th, 2022 AsiaXpat Continues to Roll Asiaxpat continued their dominance this season with a 4-1 win over a new look HoiHoi team. Post the supplemental draft, HoiHoi looked much better on paper. However it only took Asiaxpat's Ray Tang 44 seconds to open the scoring. It took a bit of time for the new players to get familiar with the team but they played well for the next 10 minutes keeping Asiaxpat chances to a minimum. It wasn’t until the 11 minute mark did the leagues leading scorer Hamish Pang get the 2nd goal. Offense is a different matter. The new additions to HoiHoi were still unable to create many opportunities against the deep Xpat team. The Xpat defense were suffocating in how they were able to eliminate almost all of HoiHoi's attacks. Asiaxpat added 2 more from Jimmy Lee and Hamish with his 2nd on the night. HoiHoi had no answer. It wasn’t until the last second of the 3rd period that HoiHoi’s Jason Wong finally able to solve Jerome Liu and spoil his shutout with only 1 second remaining. Jerome Lui turned aside 8, while David Lam (LPP) debuting in the SCIHL turned aside 19 in his 1st SCIHL start. The Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat) 3. David Lam (LPP) (HoiHoi) Shutting the door Taboo continued with their run and gun strategy from last game and it seems to work. This time, Arthur Chan was a wall making stop after stop and making saves he had no right to make. Chan earned his first shutout of the season backstopping Taboo to a 8-0 win over InetAsia. This game was not as one sided as the score indicated as Inet had a ton of grade A scoring opportunities, they just could not beat Chan. Taboo had goals from 6 different players including new to the team Bryan Leung (2g 2a) chipping in. Inet was without their usual goalie and David Lam (LPP) a goaltending prospect was given the opportunity to play. David Lam (LPP) faced 33 shots while Arthur Chan faced 24 with the shutout. The Three Stars: 1. Arthur Chan (Taboo) 2. Kenny Chiu (Taboo) 3. Bryan Leung (Taboo) Wild Wild West This game seemed like the shootout at the OK Corral in a Wild West movie. It seemed like both teams 'defensive mindsets' were still on holiday. CHG and Bravo essentially traded goals all game. 8 goals in the first, 3 in the second, and 7 more goals in the 3rd period. It was an exciting one for the fans, but one to forget for the goalies as both were hung out to dry with countless grade A scoring opportunities at both ends. After the dust settled, 9 different people registered goals and 3 registered hat tricks (Bravo: Leon Mo (4); Jason Yip (3); CHG: Theo Wong (3)). Perhaps the enforced break will allow these teams to work on their team defense before the final playoff push ahead. Arthur Chan (LPP) subbing in for Antony Chan faced 33 shots, while Edward Lee also faced 33. The Three Stars: 1. Leon Mo (Bravo) 2. Arthur Tam (Bravo) 3. Theo Wong (China Hockey Group)
Division 1 - Game Summaries
January 7th, 2022 New Year, New Start for Manulife After a rough start for the men in green, Manulife started 2022 with a come from behind win at the expense of the young RBC Lions. The RBC Lions were in a similar boat with a slow start but there were signs of improvement in their play. It was Manulife that opened the scoring when newcomer Francois Esterhuizen beat goaltender Zac Peter on a mad scramble in front of the goal. Francois was recently acquired in the dispersal draft when the Lake of the Woods team entered the league during the Christmas holiday. The second period was all Lions. They scored 2 quick goals early in the period, just 48 seconds apart. Owen Kwok beat goaltender Ray Loo after a nice pass from Whitney Olsen while Caden Wee's goal was on an individual effort and all of a sudden, the Lions took a 2-1 lead. They added that lead at the 10:14 mark when Samuel Wong scored on a breakaway as he undressed Loo. The third period was a wild one. Right off the opening face-off, Wong stole the puck off of Blake Steele and was all alone on Loo. On the play, Steele hooked Wong on his breakaway but Wong managed to break through and ripped a shot in the top corner to give the Lions a commanding 4-1 lead. However, the Lions forgot that there was still a whole period to go before the end of the game. Manulife chipped away at the lead beginning with Steele as he dearly wanted to make up for his early mistake. Steele made it 4-2 and then Darren Hynes' point shot beat Peter and now we have a one goal game. You can feel in the atmosphere that the Lions were just clinging onto their lead and Manulife had the momentum. This is where Steele redeemed himself by scoring the tying goal with just over 7 minutes left and then the game winner with just under 3 minutes to go completing his hat trick. It was a dagger to the hearts of the Lions as they played so well for most of the game. Loo kept his team in it long enough for the comeback as he stopped 16. His counterpart, Peter had a solid game despite the let down in the third period, stopped 32. The Three Stars: 1. Blake Steele (Manulife) 2. Jeff Griffin (Manulife) 3. Samuel Wong (RBC Lions) HKBN Spoils LOTW's Debut The Lake of the Woods (LOTW) team made their SCIHL Division 1 debut as they replaced AsiaXpat during the Christmas break. They got off to a great start scoring 3 times before the game was 7 minutes old. Bradley Wilson, Greg Smyth and Patrik Hammaren were able to solve goaltender Dean Tzemblikos for a 3-0 lead. The break seemed to affect HKBN more but they finally got it going in the second period. Dennis Toews scored on a power play as he beat goaltender Evan Thorpe to close the gap to 2. Scott Strickland got one back for LOTW when he deflected a centering pass from Kosuke Ikeda and Hammaren then scored his second of the night to give LOTW a commanding 5-1 lead. Just 32 seconds later, Jon Szychta replied to keep HKBN close. Then early in the third period, Szychta scored his second of the night to make it 5-3. Shortly afterwards, Smyth scored his second of the night on a power play to restore LOTW’s 3 goal lead with 14 minutes left in the game. It was at this point when HKBN mounted their comeback. Whitney Olsen made it 6-4 and Szychta scored another one for his hat trick but more importantly, closed the gap to 1 with plenty of time left on the clock. LOTW got into penalty trouble with just over 5 minutes remaining and opened the door for Szychta. He blasted a shot inside the faceoff dot that just went through the arms of Thorpe to tie the game. Off to an exciting 3 on 3 overtime period however, neither team was able to beat the goalies. In the shootout, after Smyth and Szychta exchanged goals, Olsen scored the winner to keep HKBN perfect with a 10-0 record. The Three Stars: 1. Jonathan Szychta (HKBN) 2. Mike Vander Kooi (HKBN) 3. Patrik Hammaren (LOTW)

Division 3 - Game Summaries
December 17th, 2021 Run and Gun Second game post trade and it looks like Taboo is finding their game - run and gun. The offense first approach exciting for fans - might give goalies a heart attack! 18 goals were scored in this game with CHG as both teams traded grade A scoring chances thru the first 2 periods. CHG opened the scoring after LPP'ing new prospect Matthew Yam who is available in the SCIHL Supplemental draft. Yam seemed to impress CHG and ended the night with a goal and 2 helpers. For Taboo, they picked up the league's 2 leading goal scorers in Hamish Pang (LPP) and Jason Yip (LPP) and that seemed to be the difference as they combined for 10 points between them. Yip scored 4 goals, while Pang scored 2. Danny Chiu and Grant Phillips, each with 2 goals, and 1 from Kenny Chiu rounded out the scoring for Taboo. At one point in the 2nd period, Taboo built up a 10-3 lead before CHG tried to make a comeback, but it was too little too late. Other notable contributions from CHG's Theo Wong (2g, 2a) and Michael Welsh (2g, 1a) helped them keep the scoreline respectable. Edward Lee faced 29 shots while Arthur Chan faced 28. The Three Stars: 1. Danny Chiu (Taboo) 2. Jason Yip (LPP) (Taboo) 3. Michael Welsh (CHG) Can we get more games vs AsiaXpat? Not sure what it is, but InetAsia seems to be the kryptonite for AsiaXpat this season. Powerhouse AsiaXpat have won every game so far this season except the 1 game against InetAsia. InetAsia proved it again tonight with a 4-2 win making it 2nd win over AsiaXpat and their 2nd win this season. Inet started off well just 1:30 into the game with a goal by Theo Wong (LPP) until Dick Lee scored just before the buzzer to give InetAsia a 2-0 lead after 1. AsiaXpat stormed back with an early goal of their own in the 2nd from Hamish Pang before Donals Chow restored Inet's lead. Jasper Chow pulled it to 3-2 with 2 min left in the 2nd, but Grant Phillips (LPP) also had his own buzzer beater (again with 2 seconds remaining) to restore Inet's 2 goal lead. That seemed to deflate AsiaXpat a bit. The 2 teams played a close 3rd period, with both goalies shutting the door allowing no further goals giving InetAsia their 2nd win, and AsiaXpat’s 2nd loss of the season. Jerome Lui turned aside 18, while Keira Mok (LPP) turned aside 19 in her 2nd SCIHL start. The Three Stars: 1. Keira Mok (InetAsia) 2. Dick Lee (InetAsia) 3. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) Playing With Fire Bravo missing their top line again with Leon Mo on LTIR but hoping to remain in the playoff race by beating HoiHoi. They had a boost with Otto Chan coming off LTIR for his first game back, and Bravo came out strong. Brian Chiu getting 2 quick goals for Bravo in the first 3 minutes of the game. HoiHoi responded from Jason Yee with his first of 2 on the night, and Jason Wong to tie the game before Jason Yip was able to regain Bravo’s lead with a minute remaining in the 1st. Yee scored his 2nd to tie the game before HoiHoi took the lead on a short-handed goal by Jim Liu as he went end to end and beat Antony Chan. Jasper Chow (LPP) responded for Bravo to even it all up going into the 3rd. In the 3rd, Bravo continued to attack and control the play, but Sam Wong was keeping HoiHoi in the game stopping chance after chance. It wasn’t until midway in the 3rd when HoiHoi played with fire and got into penalty trouble, taking 2 quick penalties. With a 2-man advantage, Bravo's Art Tam was able to put a knuckle ball past a startled Wong for the game winner keeping Bravo's playoff chances open as Bravo was able to keep HoiHoi at bay for the remainder of the 3rd period. Sam Wong played a strong game facing 29 shots, while Antony Chan faced 17. The Three Stars: 1. Brian Chiu (Bravo) 2. Jason Yip (Bravo) 3. Arthur Tam (Bravo)

December 13th, 2021 The Goolers Shine It was a goaltenders battle as both Grant Phillips and Scott Yang stole the show with dominant performances. The Sam Wai Raptors jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead when Dan Blondeau scored on a power play and Keith Hong getting one in the final minute. After a scoreless second period, Francois Esterhuizen and Mark Uhrynuk scored to give the Raptors a commanding 4-0 lead. Jason Klotz finally found a way to beat Phillips with over 3 minutes remaining to break the shutout. The loss was the third straight for Bravo while the Raptors remain undefeated in 2021. The Three stars: 1. Grant Phillips (Sam Wai) 2. Scott Yang (Sam Wai) 3. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) Yee's Hatty Provides Spark It was one of most entertaining games of the season as the leads changed three times until Sapporo finally won 6-5 in a shootout. The win was fueled by Jason Yee's hat trick which he could not remember when the last time he had one. Josh Steinhaus opened the scoring for AsiaXpat just 1:30 into the game. Sapporo replied with a pair of goals with Yee’s first of the night and Justin Kuok. AsiaXpat took the lead in the second on goals by David Finifter and Justin Wong only to have Sapooro retake the lead on goals by John Ng and Yee's second of the night. Yee completed his hat trick at the 4:43 mark of the third and it looked like AsiaXpat would be done. However, they clawed their way back beginning with Steinhaus' second of the night. Finifter then beat goaltender Loron Orris on a power play and suddenly, we are back to square one. AsiaXpat did have a late power play but was unable to score so the game headed into overtime. Neither team was able to score in OT so the game went into a shootout. Paul Chai ended it with the shootout winner as he went 5-hole on goaltender Kevin Rushton to give Sapporo the win! Three Stars: 1. Jason Yee (Sapporo) 2. Justin Kuok (Sapporo) 3. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat)
Division 3 - Game Summaries
December 10th, 2021 Unstoppable Asiaxpat continues their domination this season with a convincing 7-3 over CHG. Grant (the Force) Philips (LPP) opened the scoring just 55 seconds in to the first period for Asiaxpat. It wasn’t until CHG got a powerplay did Matthew Yam (LPP) equalize for CHG. Eric Pang then took over as he scored a hattrick within a span of 2 min 10 seconds - with the historians checking if that has been the fastest hattrick in division 3 history. Asiaxpat continued to control the game and was rewarded after Hamish Pang scored 2 more to close out the 2nd period. In the 3rd, Harry Cho scored another powerplay goal for CHG, but it was too little too late, as Hamish Pang completed his own hattrick shortly after to round out the scoring. Jerome Lui faced 20 shots while Edward Lee was the busier goalie with 26 shots. The Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (Asiaxpat) 2. Eric Pang (Asiaxpat) 3. Matthew Yam (LPP) (CHG) Back in Black (AC/DC) 2nd game post trade for Taboo’s AC/DC tandem looked to be much better as they players got more time with their new teammates and had the additional boost of the Force back in the lineup after missing the last few games. Bravo on the other hand was going through some injury trouble as Leon Mo is out for the foreseeable future with an undisclosed upper body injury and Otto Chan yet to dress but reports indicate he will be able to rejoin the team shortly. Bravo brought in Hamish Pang (LPP) to fill in and did not disappoint as he pounced on Taboo on the first play scoring just 8 seconds into the period. I don’t think even all of Taboo’s players were on the ice yet! However, Taboo regained their composure and slowly started to dominate play. Tim Tsui and John Wade gave them their first lead and as Bravo looked to tie the game on the powerplay, Danny Chiu broke the game open with a short handed goal. Grant Phillips then combined with Kevin Ng on the penalty kill and scored Taboo’s 2nd short handed goal on the same penalty. 4-1 after one. Jason Yip scored for Bravo in the first minute of the 2nd to give them some life, followed by Brian Chiu closing the gap 2 minutes later. Bravo was back in the game. A big collision between Franky Choi (LPP) and John Wade gave Bravo a scare as Choi had to miss some shifts. During this time, Danny Chiu and John Wade both scored for Taboo to increase their lead to 6-3. Luckily Choi was able to continue and made a nice individual effort to score in the first minute of the 3rd. But Taboo controlled the game too much and was able to limit Bravo from generating much offense. The teams exchanged goals from Stuart Chan and Choi with his second of the night to round out the scoring. Arthur Chan gets his first win with Taboo facing 19 shots, while Antony Chan was busy facing 33 shots. The Three Stars 1. Danny Chiu (Taboo) 2. John Wade (Taboo) 3. Grant Phillips (Taboo) The Yeester HoiHoi looked to be in trouble this week missing 1/2 their team and goalie Sam Wong. They called up Kiera Mok to sub in net in her SCIHL debut and she did not disappoint. Theo Wong (LPP) scored 2 goals for HoiHoi 46 seconds apart to give them the early lead late in the first, only to have Sky Wong scoring in the last minute of the first for Inetasia. HoiHoi's leading scorer Jason 'the Yeester' Yee capitalized on a powerplay early in the 2nd. He followed this up with his second of the night early in the 3rd, finishing a nice pass from Jason Wong. Inet actually controlled a lot of the play but was unable to solve Kiera until late in the 3rd when Donald Chow finally got one by her. The Yeester almost completed his hattrick when Inet pulled their goalie but put it into the corner of the rink instead. However the damage was done and Mok was able to hold the fort for the win. Kirsten Rendell faced 20 shots while Kiera Mok faced 33 for the win. The Three Stars: 1. Keira Mok (HoiHoi) 2. Jason Yee (HoiHoi) 3. Theo Wong (LPP) (HoiHoi)
Division 1 - Game Summaries
December 10th, 2021 Gobbo Cop Avery Gobbo stopped 40 shots to lead AsiaXpat to a 4-2 win over Manulife. Gobbo was the difference, frustrating the Manulife players who were hoping to snap their 2-game losing streak. Not be out done, Manulife goaltender Ray Loo had a stellar game and kept AsiaXpat off the scoresheet until late in the first when Michael Wong (LPP) was a recipient of a giveaway. It was the first shot Loo faced after breaking his lucky goal stick. The goal tied the game at 1 after Jeff Wall (LPP) had given Manulife the lead. After a scoreless second period, Greg Smyth put AsiaXpat in the lead as he combined with Kevin O’Toole. Whitney Olsen gave them some insurance when he ripped a shot over the left shoulder of Loo with just over 7 minutes remaining. Jon Szychta (LPP) got one back for Manulife but Francois Esterhuizen sealed the win with an empty netter. Three Stars: 1. Avery Gobbo (AsiaXpat) 2. Ray Loo (Manulife) 3. Greg Smyth (AsiaXpat)

Division 2 - Game Summaries
December 6th, 2021 Strong Finish To Remain Undefeated A big third period gave the Sam Wai Raptors a 6-2 win over AsiaXpat. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead with goals from Francois Esterhuizen and Mark Uhrynuk, the Raptors sat back and allowed AsiaXpat to get back in the game. Jimmy Wong came down the right wing on a 2 on 1 and pretended to make a pass but only to fire a shot through the legs of Raptors’ goalie Grant Phillips. It was a tight game as both goalies played well. Just one minute into the third period, Justin Wong tied the game, and would this put the Raptors in panic mode? Not quite. Esterhuizen dashed down the left wing and roofed a backhander over the shoulder of goaltender Kevin Rushton. That opened the flood gates as Art Tam scored just 35 seconds later to give the Raptors some breathing room. Bruce Hicks added a power play goal and Sean Tyrrell rounded out the scoring to give the Raptors the win and remain undefeated. The Three Stars: 1. Mark Uhrynuk (Sam Wai) 2. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 3. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) Chim's Three Points Leads The Way Terence Chim scored a pair and added an assist, to give Sapporo a 6-2 win over Bravo. Chim did not waste any time as he beat goaltender Scotty Yang just 1:33 into the game. Scott Strickland made it 2-0 before Ben Tabb replied to close the gap to 1. In the second period, it was Chim again with an early strike just 35 seconds in as he went end to end on a nice individual rush. Sapporo added two more goals from John Ng and Strickland with his second of the night. With a comfortable 5-1 lead heading into the third, Sapporo sat back but did not give Bravo any chance of a comeback. Ng scored his second of the night mid-way into the period to put Sapporo up 6-1. Tabb scored his second of the game, late in the game but that was it for the scoring. Despite allowing 6 goals, Yang played well stopping 28 shots. The Three Stars: 1. Terence Chim (Sapporo) 2. John Ng (Sapporo) 3. Steve Allison (Sapporo)

December 3rd, 2021 Better Late Than Never A couple of late goals in the second period, gave AsiaXpat a come from behind 3-2 win over the RBC Lions. The Lions led 1-0 after the first period on a short-handed goal by Cyrus Chan. Chan sniped a shot past Avery Gobbo, who was subbing in for Evan Thorpe. But before the period ended, Mike Vander Kooi (LPP) tie the game up as he beat Zac Peter. In the second period, the Lions retook the lead on Caden Wee’s goal, as he combined with Sammy Wong and Owen Kwok. The trio are three names to keep an eye on as they are the future stars of Hong Kong. But before the period ended, Dan Zyvitski tied the game and just a few minutes later, Greg Smyth scored shorthanded to put AsiaXpat in the lead for the first time. The goalies took over in the third, Gobbo being Gobbo and Zac Peter turned in a solid performance. AsiaXpat’s Dave Belluche chipped in with a pair of assists and was a rock on the defence. The Three Stars: 1. Dave Belluche (AsiaXpat) 2. Cyrus Chan (RBC Lions) 3. Greg Smyth (AsiaXpat) Szychta and Gang Continue to Roll Jonathan Szychta continued his torrid place as the league leading HKBN remained undefeated with a 9-2 win over Manulife. Szychta scored 4 times and added 1 assist while Eric Molander and Jeff Wall combined for 7 points. It was 2-0 after the first period and 7-2 after the second. Manulife goaltender Ray Loo was hoping no more goals would be allowed in the third so he could improve on his 7.00 GAA but that was not going to happen. At least not against the first place HKBN team. In the third, HKBN added 2 more but Loo’s GAA could not improve on this night. At the other end, Dean Tzembelikos had another solid night. Deano stopped 18 while Loo finished the night with 25 saves. The Three Stars: 1. Jonathan Szychta (HKBN) 2. Eric Molander (HKBN) 3. Jeff Wall (HKBN)

December 3rd, 2021 AC/DC in the house! First game post trade for Taboo after bringing Arthur Chan and Danny Chiu onto the team. Unfortunately, AC/DC had to face the league’s top team Asiaxpat and they came with their A game. Taboo was under pressure from the start as Asiaxpat dominated in all aspects of the game, getting 2 goals in the first from Eugene Wong and Hamish Pang. Taboo was able to convert on a rare powerplay with a nice tip in front of the net by Maureen Wong from a Kevin Ng shot from the point to get them within one. Asiaxpat continued the pressure winning most of the loose pucks with Mandy Kwan and Roger Li both capitalizing on turnovers in Taboo’s defensive end. Asiaxpat’s Hamish Pang put the game to bed just 50 seconds into the 3rd period while Eugene Wong scored his second of the night, and one from Jasper Chow to round out the scoring. Arthur Chan faced 30 shots on his Taboo debut while Jerome Lui faced 12 shots. The Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang (Asiaxpat) 2. Jasper Chow (Asiaxpat) 3. Jerome Lui (Asiaxpat) Maximum Ice Time HoiHoi was looking to continue their 3 game winning streak against CHG coming off a strong shutout win over Inet before the Thanksgiving break. HoiHoi leading scorer Jason Yee opened the scoring late in the first banging in a rebound after a mad scramble in front of the Edward Lee. HoiHoi was looking to close out a close first period with the lead but with only 2 seconds left, Theo Wong rushed in and threaded a pass backdoor to a streaking Hugo Fan to tie the game before the buzzer went off. In the second, HoiHoi and CHG exchanged a couple goals apiece, Justin Hau & Ryan Culliton for CHG, while Arthur Tam (LPP) and Winston Lam responded for HoiHoi. More of the same in the third with Theo Wong scoring his own and Steven Leung replying for HoiHoi (with the help of Henry Tong). Nothing much was separating these 2 teams and overtime was a fair result with both teams taking a point. In OT, Reston Ko was able to steal the puck after HoiHoi’s D bobbled the puck on the offensive blueline and get a breakaway making a nice deke past Sam Wong and helped CHG take all the points with just 35 seconds remaining in OT. Sam Wong faced 24 shots, while Edward Lee faced 21. The Three Stars: 1. Reston Ko (China Hockey Group) 2. Theophilus Wong (China Hockey Group) 3. Jason Yee (HoiHoi) Special Teams the difference InetAsia, looked rejuvenated after the trade that brought Donald Chow and Kirsten Rendell to the team. However tempted fate by taking 5 penalties thru the game. Bravo was able to score 4 goals over 5 powerplays in the game. Normally this would be enough, but Inetasia also scored 2 shorthanded goals of their own on the same penalty to give them life. Bravo and Inetasia combined for 6 goals in the first, 3-3. Arthur Tam opened the scoring with a low shot inside the post through a massive screen given Kirsten no chance. Bravo followed up with a power play goal from Theo Wong (LPP) subbing in for Leon Mo who is on the LTIR with an undisclosed upper body injury. Inet played a very aggressive penalty kill on their 2nd PK, and it was rewarded after Edwin Lau stole the puck deep in Bravo’s corner and set up Dick Lee for a beautiful one timer in the slot past a startled Arthur Chan, who was subbing in against his former team. Donald Chan one of the key players in the trade showed why Inet wanted him but scoring Inet’s 2nd shorty less than a minute later and following up with a 2nd. Chan then scored another after a nice feed from Alton Ho. More powerplay time for Bravo and more goals with Theo Wong (LPP) getting 2 more on the PP to complete his hat trick. Jason Yip kept his scoring streak going with a goal of his own making it 6-3, a seemingly comfortable lead until Alton Ho scored with 20 seconds remaining to give Inet some life heading into the 3rd. In the 3rd Inet took another penalty and Wong made them pay with his 4th goal of the night. Inet made it interesting for the fans, Dick Lee with his 2nd of the night, while Donald Chow completed his hattrick as well, but the powerplay goals from Bravo ultimately was too big a hole to fill. Kirsten Rendell faced 25 shots while Arthur Chan faced 22. The Three Stars: 1. Theophilus Wong (Bravo) 2. Arthur Tam (Bravo) 3. Donald Chow (Inetasia)

November 22nd, 2021 Finifter is a Natural! David Finifter’s natural hat trick was too much for Sapporo to overcome, as AsiaXpat was able to hang on for a 3-2 win. Finifter’s scored his goals over each period for his natural hat trick. The comeback kids of last season, Sapporo almost pulled it off in this game. John Ng and Scott Strickland each scored to put them within one but AsiaXpat goaltender Kevin Rushton was solid, redeeming himself for a loss in the previous week. Rushton stopped 22 while Sapporo goaltender Loron Orris stopped 20. The Three Stars: 1. David Finifter (AsiaXpat) 2. Kevin Rushton (AsiaXpat) 3. Justin Wong (AsiaXpat) That Was Quick! Sam Wai Raptors wanted a quick start and they got it! All Sean Tyrell needed was 10 seconds as he bowled through the middle and beat Bravo goaltender Scott Yang. Tyrell did not have his sidekick Keith Hong for this game so he had to step up. The Raptors were up 3-0 after the first and 8-1 after the second. It took a laser of a shot from Sky Wong to beat Raptors’ goalie Grant Phillips. It was the only blemish to a game where the Raptors were in full control. Tyrell finished the night with a hat trick while Francois Esterhuizen and Art Tam combined for 13 points. Mark Uhrynuk chipped in with a pair of goals and a pair of helpers. Phillips finished the night with 14 saves while Yang stopped 26. The Three Stars: 1. Sean Tyrell (Sam Wai) 2. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 3. Art Tam (Sam Wai)

November 19th, 2021 Back on Track This is a rematch of opening night between AsiaXpat and Bravo. The first time, Asiaxpat easily beat Bravo 7-4, so Bravo was looking to get a little revenge. Unfortunately for Bravo, they were missing top scorer Jason Yip and the game did not start well for them. Hamish Pang (also on a multi-game scoring streak) stole a puck deep in Bravo's zone and scored just 58 seconds into the game. Even before Bravo was able to get all their players on the bench! Bravo seemed to gain their composure back with 2 quick goals from Donald Chan and Tim Tsui (LPP) and get the momentum back. But late in the period, Eric Pang make a few patented dekes and skated by 3 Bravo defenders before cutting along the goal line and roofing a beautiful short side top corner goal by Antony Chan's ears to even the score. The second was a similar pace with Art Tam finishing a nice play from So Fuk Hing and Tim Tsui to regain the lead. Bravo had a great chance to get some insurance as Leon Mo found Art Tam on a breakaway only to have Lui use his head to knock away the shot. AsiaXpat’s special teams then took over. Starting with Eric Pang’s second on a power play, followed shortly by Danny Chui (LPP) firing a shorthanded goal by Chan to regain the lead. A lead they would not relinquish. AsiaXpat got 2 more in the 3rd, Jimmy Lee, and Danny Chiu (LPP) with his second on the night, before Leon Mo scored with 52 seconds left to round out the scoring. Jerome Lui stopped 17 for the win while Antony Chan stopped 21. The Three Stars: 1. Eric Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Danny Chiu (LPP) (AsiaXpat) 3. Art Tam (Bravo) Solid Team Effort This proved to be a very tight checking game between CHG and InetAsia. InetAsia came in looking to get their 2nd win, while CHG looked to bounce back from a drubbing last week. Whatever GM Alex Gautier said to the team seemed to work. CHG came out strong and essentially smothered Inet's attacks all evening limiting them to 13 shots all game. While on the other end, CHG's forwards were opportunistic, first with Theo Wong capitalizing on the power play, while Hugo Fan and Reston Ko each had a goal in the 2nd and 3rd periods respectively to round out the scoring. Edward Lee earned the win and a shutout with 13 saves, while Arthur Chan had a solid effort with 18 saves. The Three Stars: 1. Edward Lee (China Hockey Group) 2. Hugo Fan (China Hockey Group) 3. Theo Wong (China Hockey Group) Lady Luck wearing green tonight HoiHoi was coming off a 2-game win streak and Taboo was hoping to continue their winning ways without 2 of their top players, Stuart Chan and Grant Phillips. A quick start 40 seconds in on a goal by Michael Liu put HoiHoi up 1-0. It wasn’t unti/ 1/2 way through the period and HoiHoi's 3rd consecutive penalty, did Taboo's Donald Chow finish a broken play to beat Marco Au (LPP) on the powerplay. HoiHoi continued to take penalties and gifting powerplay opportunities to Taboo, but they were unable to convert golden scoring opportunities as Au looked like a brick wall to keep HoiHoi in the game. Jim Liu was able to catch Taboo off guard with an unassisted tally with just 36 seconds remaining in the first to regain the lead for HoiHoi. In the 2nd, HoiHoi continued the penalty parade, but Au and the team continued to thwart Taboo's shooters and instead, Jason Yee was able to score a short-handed goal to give HoiHoi a 3-1 lead entering the 3rd. In the 3rd period - Taboo continued to control he zone play and was finally rewarded with goals from Leon Mo (LPP) and Kenny Chiu to tie it up midway in the 3rd. With 2 minutes remaining, Michael Liu was able to work his way into the low slot and fire a shot using the defenseman as a screen past Rendell giving HoiHoi the lead once again. Taboo pressed and with the goalie pulled forced HoiHoi to take 2 more penalties giving them almost 2 full minutes with a 6 on 3. As the crowd watched Taboo have full control, they generated at least 5 golden scoring opportunities but were met by acrobatic saves from Au, or Taboo players were unable to finish into the open net to tie the game. HoiHoi breathed a sign of relieve at the buzzer and walked away with their 3rd win in a row. Marco Au stopped 20 for the win, while Kirsten Rendell stopped 12. The Three Stars: 1. Marco Au (LPP) (HoiHoi) 2. Michael Liu (HoiHoi) 3. Jason Yee (HoiHoi)

November 15th, 2021 Sam Wai Remains Perfect The Sam Wai Raptors turned in another dominant performance by defeating Sapporo 6-2 to remain perfect with a 4-0 record. The Raptors were firing on all cylinders jumping out to a commanding 4-0 lead before the game was 9 minutes old. Led by Keith Hong and Francois Esterhuizen, the dynamic duo was in on all the goals. Before the first period ended, Sapporo got one back with Justin Kuok capitalizing on a turnover at the Raptors’ blueline. Just when you thought that Sapporo gained some momentum with the late first period goal, never fear as Francois is here! Francois buried a nice individual effort while shorthanded to regain a 4-goal lead. Sapporo’s Terence Chim scored on a powerplay, late in the period but the game was pretty much in control by the Raptors. Raptor’s goalie Grant Phillips was once again rock solid, as Sapporo felt like they were shooting against a brick wall. Art Tam sealed the deal in the third when he picked up a pass and fired a shot, low along the ice on the glove side of goaltender Loron Orris. Orris finished the night with 21 saves while Phillips stopped 27. The Three Stars: 1. Keith Fong (Sam Wai) 2. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 3. Grant Phillips (Sam Wai) Hull-of-a-Game! Brian 'Bobby' Hull picked a great time to get his first goal of the season as his late tally gave Bravo a 5-4 win. Josh Steinhaus had tied the game at 4 with a 'McDavid' like move as he cut through the defence and tucked the puck in past goaltender Grant Phillips, who was a last-minute sub for Scott Yang. Shane Weir had given AsiaXpat a 2-1 lead heading into the third when he batted in a rebound past Phillips. The game went back and forth with most of the goals coming in the final period. It looked like overtime was certain until Hull skated down the right wing and ripped a shot past goaltender Kevin Rushton for the game winner. Bravo got a boost when Jason Klotz suited up for his first game of the season. Klotz scored twice and added one helper. Unfortunately for AsiaXpat, Justin Wong missed the game due to an undisclosed injury. Rushton stopped 22 while Phillips stopped 30. The Three Stars: 1. Jason Klotz (Bravo) 2. Shane Weir (AsiaXpat) 3. Brian Hull (Bravo)

November 12th, 2021 Close Encounter Doug Foster’s second goal of the game mid-way into the third period guided Manulife to a 3-2 win over the young RBC Lions. It was a see-saw battle throughout the game. Sammy Wong had given the Lions a 1-0 lead after the first period. Manulife scored a pair of goals in the second period by Jeff Griffin and Foster to take a 2-1 lead. Alyssa Ho tied the game in the third when she flew down the left wing and beat goaltender Ray Loo on his stick side. The crowd at the DB Ice Rink erupted. But jubilation turned into disappointment just over 2 minutes later when Foster beat goaltender Zac Peter to regain their lead for good. Manulife had to hang on at the end, thanks to some solid goaltending by Loo. Loo stopped 27 shots while Peter, who also turned in a solid performance, stopped 21. The Three Stars: 1. Jeff Griffin (Manulife) 2. Doug Foster (Manulife) 3. Sammy Wong (RBC Lions) Lussier Shines in Debut It wasn’t like HKBN was in desperate need of his services, but the best player in the league finally made his debut for his team who had gone 7-0 to start the season. Jesse Lussier played his first game of the season and made HKBN even stronger. Lussier’s 4 goals helped HKBN cruise to a 10-6 win over AsiaXpat. In the first period, it was AsiaXpat that got off to a flying start. David Belluche, fresh out of quarantine, scored a pair and it looked like AsiaXpat might give HKBN their first loss of the season. However, that was just wishful thinking as HKBN scored 5 unanswered goals in the second period to take a 7-4 lead before Jonas Gullstrand got one back for AsiaXpat before the end of the period. In the third, newcomer Bobby Rubino scored 13 seconds in to close the gap to 7-6. But Lussier and Bryan Crane had other ideas and put the game away by adding 3 more. HKBN goaltender Dean Tzembelikos stopped 13 while Evan Thorpe stopped 24 at the other end. The Three Stars: 1. Jessie Lussier (HKBN) 2. Eric Molander (HKBN) 3. David Belluche (AsiaXpat)

November 12th, 2021 Derek who? Derek HU! Taboo entered the game with balanced scoring across their team with playmaker Kenny Chiu leading the way. But in this game, Derek Hu stole the show. Derek completed a natural hattrick in under 8 minutes in the first period, scoring the first 3 goals of the game, instantly putting CHG behind the 8 ball. CHG’s Theo Wong was able to respond with 2 seconds left on the clock to give CHG some hope heading into the 2nd period. The 2nd proved to be a tighter checking period and Andrew Weich was able to pull CHG close, before Taboo’s Grant Phillips and Derek Hu with his 4th of the night stretched the gap once again.

InetAsia entered the game as the only team without a win so far this season. Asiaxpat was coming in as the only undefeated team remaining. This game had the fans expecting a bloodbath. However, the game was surprising very even and only 1 goal from Peter Yeung gave InetAsia the early lead after 1 period. Early in the 2nd, Sam WH Wong finished a nice passing play with Danny Chiu and Alton Ho to get his first goal of the season and giving InetAsia a 2-0 lead. It took most of the 2nd before Hamish Pang, one of the top scorers in the division to claw one back for Asiaxpat. 2-1 after 2 periods. Cue the Asiaxpat comeback, but someone forgot to tell Peter Yeung. Peter scored 3 more goals in the 3rd period while keeping the defensive zone clean for InetAsia to earn their first win and knocking off the top team in the division putting InetAsia temporarily into a tie with HoiHoi for 5th ahead of HoiHoi’s game against Bravo later this evening. Arthur Chan was solid stopping 19, while Jerome Lui stopped 15. The Three Stars: 1. Peter Yeung (InetAsia) 2. Arthur Chan (InetAsia) 3. Danny Chiu (InetAsia) Where is everyone? HoiHoi entered the game looking like a different team this game. With several players missing, they had a bit of a new look about them. This seemed to put a spring into the remaining player’s step. HoiHoi got to a good start getting the first goal of the game from Jason Wong with his first of the season. This seemed to wake Bravo up, as they the league's leading scorer Jason Yip, responded with another 2 goals to briefly give Bravo the lead before HoiHoi responded by a beautiful shot from the point by Sky Wong (LPP) thru a mass of players and past a screened Antony Chan to tie the game at 2. The only goal in the second was scored by Donald Chow (LPP) after a dominant shift in the Bravo zone and finishing a pass from Gavino Ng to give HoiHoi the lead again. In the 3rd, it was more of the same dominance by HoiHoi as they hemmed Bravo in their own zone for most of the period. Bravo was lucky to keep the score close, but they couldn’t keep HoiHoi off the scoreboard Donald Chow scored his 2nd of the game to give HoiHoi a 2-goal safety margin. Bravo tried but couldn’t muster much in response and HoiHoi found themselves in a 2-game winning streak. Antony Chan stopped 13, while Arthur Chan (LPP) was superb stopping 23 for HoiHoi.

November 8th, 2021 First Win Sapporo finally picked up their first win of the season as they trounced Bravo 9-2. Bravo did get off to a quick start just 38 seconds in when Dough Lightbound pounced on a loose puck and fired in a shot past a startled Loron Orris, in goal for Sapporo. But it was pretty much all Sapporo the remainder of the game. They scored 4 unanswered goals in the period, led by Justin Kuok’s pair. In the second period, Paul Chai and Alton Ho scored to put Sapporo up by 5. Bravo goaltender Scott Yang had asked prior to this game on how his team had lost 8-1 since he was not at the game. By the end of the second period, he knew the answer. Give credit to Sapporo who is finally showing everyone, why on paper, they are one of the favourites to reach the SCIHL Final. Still, there is lots of hockey to be played but it is a step in the right direction. In the third, after Barry Allison got one back for Bravo, Sapporo scored 3 more times to round out the scoring. Yang stopped 21 while Orris stopped 17. The Three Stars: 1. Justin Kuok (Sapporo) 2. Paul Chai (Sapporo) 3.

Sam Wai built up a 3-0 first period lead on goals by Esterhuizen, Sean Tyrrell and Art Tam. AsiaXpat fought back in the second with a pair of goals. Justin Wong skated down the right wing and blasted a shot though goaltender Grant Phillips. Later in the period, Jimmy Thai deflected a nice pass past Phillips and suddenly, it was a 1 goal game. However, Sam Wai never panicked and got their game together in the third. Esterhuizen's powerplay goal early in the period put Sam Wai back up by 2. Then Chad Fairfoull added some insurance a few minutes later with his 5th goal of the season which leads the league. The score would probably be more lopsided but AsiaXpat goaltender Kevin Rushton kept his team in it. At the other end, Phillips was rock solid and frustrated the AsiaXpat players. Rushton stopped 20 while Philips stopped 18. The Three Stars: 1. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 2. Grant Phillips (Sam Wai) 3. Chad Fairfoull (Sam Wai)

November 5th, 2021 First Win Someone was going to get their first win this year tonight. Both HoiHoi and Inetasia has struggled to start the season. Both teams headed into this game 0-3 with HoiHoi only managing to score 2 goals in their first 3 games combined, while Inetasia has been able to score, but have not been able to close out for a win. Inetasia came out attacking hoping to get that crucial first goal, but Boyce Wong (LPP) was able to keep HoiHoi in the game long enough for their players to challenge more keeping the first 2 periods scoreless. HoiHoi finally scored - a quick shot from Chris Lam that eluded Boyce Wong to give HoiHoi a 1-0 lead. It was short lived though as Inetasia's Danny Chiu quickly responded in less than a minute with a trademark '5' hole goal to tie the game at 1. Then the penalty parade began. In the last 10 minutes - a total of 6 penalties were drawn and it were the special teams that made a difference. Theo Wong (LPP) with HoiHoi on the penalty kill was able to skate down and surprise Arthur Chan with a short side marker short handed to give HoiHoi the lead again. As HoiHoi continued to take penalties, Inetasia was finally able to convert with Danny Chiu's second goal of the game to tie it up. Inetasia had numerous opportunities to take the lead on the powerplay, only to be thwarted by Boyce Wong and the HoiHoi penalty killers. 20 seconds into overtime - Theo Wong (LPP) was able to sneak a quickshot by Arthur Chan giving a relieved HoiHoi team their first win, leaving Inetasia disappointed that they were unable to capitalize on the many powerplay opportunities on the evening. Boyce Wong stopped 28 in the win, while Arthur Chan stopped 24. The Three Stars: 1. Theophilus Wong (HoiHoi) 2. Danny Chiu (Inetasia) 3. Boyce Wong (HoiHoi) Full court press This game looked to be a close matchup on paper as Taboo entered this game without a loss (2-0-1) and Bravo bouncing back on a 2-game win streak after getting destroyed in their opener. Taboo started strong and was rewarded early with Stuart Chan scoring the first goal of the game just 1:30 into the first. Bravo seemed to wake up after the goal with Tat Ming Lau wiring a wrist shot top corner for his first of the season. Leon Mo then added a second while Jason Yip continued his hot scoring streak with a 3rd goal before Tat Ming Lau intercepted a pass and converted his second of the night with another snipe. 4-1 Bravo to close the first. Taboo seemed to be stunned as both Bravo lines were scoring. With both of Bravo lines playing well, they continued the pressure with 3 more goals in the 2nd from Jason Yip, Ambrose Lee, and Leon Mo before Tim Tsui was able to respond for Taboo late in the 2nd period. With the game looking out of hand, tempers started to heat up and Taboo started taking a series of penalties in the 3rd, allowing Jason Yip to complete his hat trick on the powerplay making it 8-2 with 6 minutes left. Taboo had a lot of grade A scoring chances over the game, but Antony Chan continued to play well for Bravo frustrating the Taboo shooters. Taboo’s Derek Hu and Tim Tsui with his second of the night finally were able to beat Chan towards the end of the 3rd, but it was too little too late. Both goalies were busy with Kirsten Rendell stopping 29 shots, while Antony Chan turned aside 23. The Three Stars: 1. Antony Chan (Bravo) 2. Tat Ming Lau (Bravo) 3. Tim Tsui (Taboo Devils) Still on top Asiaxpat continued their hot start to the season entering the game as the only undefeated team in the division. CHG was 2-1 and itching to end Asiaxpat’s win streak. This was a strange game. The first period had a good flow, with limited shots that made it through to the goalies. Both teams played a tight defensive game and limited good scoring chances. Only Asiaxpat's leading goal scorer - Hamish Pang was able to break the deadlock in the first period. The second period came an unexpected number of goals given how the first period went. 30 seconds into the 2nd, Donald Chow (LPP) was able to tie it up followed by Hugo Fan helping CHG take their first lead. Asiaxpat's captain, Eric Pang responded with 2 goals of his own to retake the lead only to have Hugo Fan tie it up closing the 2nd period 3-3. After the 5 goals in the 2nd period, the 3rd period reverted back to the close checking game in the first period. The only difference being Asiaxpat taking 5 consecutive penalties and Hamish Pang scoring his second on the night short handed to give Asiaxpat the lead. As CHG tried to press for the equalizer they then took the next 4 penalties and even with the goalie pulled, were unable to even up the game, while Hamish Pang had a few opportunities at the empty net but was unlucky to not complete his hattrick. Jerome Lui and Edward Lee both stopped 14 shots on the evening. Asiaxpat continues their win streak and will look to complete their sweep of all the teams in the division this week against Inetasia who have yet to record their first win. The Three Stars: 1. Eric Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 3. Hugo Fan (China Hockey Group)

October 29th, 2021 Missed Opportunities CHG entered the game with a perfect record so far, but Bravo was coming off a big win over Inetasia last game. This game looked to be quite even. However, it was a strange game, while most of the game was a tight checking affair, with limited shots on net by both teams, when those shots came, they were all grade A scoring chances. Bravo went up 2 goals, from Leon Mo and Ambrose Lee, before CHG’s Adrian Wong (LPP) was given a clear breakaway from his own zone after one of the many blocked shots. Wong tried to wait out Antony Chan, but he wasn’t biting and easily stopped Wong to keep CHG off the scoresheet. Shortly after that golden chance to get CHG back into the game, Bravo scored after a wild scramble in front of Lee and Tam was johnny on the spot as the puck bounced to the open side where he was waiting. Bravo 3-0 after 1. Leading scorer Jason Yip continued his Ovechkin like start to the season with his 9th and 10th goals in 3 games at almost the same time of the 2nd and 3rd periods to give Bravo a commanding 5-0 lead with most of the 3rd period to go, the second goal after an errant CHG clearing attempt that was intercepted by Tam and Yip finished a nice one timer on the ensuing 2 on 1. CHG after missing many good scoring opportunities to get back into the game, the only question remaining was whether they could spoil Chan's shutout bid. CHG finally was able to spoil Chan's shutout with only 24 seconds remaining with screened point shot from Adrian Wong (LPP) after Bravo took a late penalty. CHG and Bravo now sit 3 and 4 in the standings with only goal difference separating them in the young season. Antony Chan stopped 14 and Edward Lee stopped 11. The Three Stars: 1. Jason Yip (Bravo) 2. Leon Mo (Bravo) 3. Antony Chan (Bravo) See-Saw Inetasia started the game quickly with Dick Lee scoring his first only 49 seconds into the game. Jason Yip (LPP) continued his scoring streak by finishing off a great pass from Kenny Chiu to tie the game 1-1 to close out scoring in the first. The second period saw 5 goals scored in this see-saw game. Taboo gained the lead after Kenny Chiu scored before Dick Lee with his second of the evening with a seeing eye shot thru a crowd to tie it up for Inetasia. Alton Ho helped Inetasia regain the lead only to have John Wade tie it again on the ensuing shift. The teams continued to play a tight game until Maureen 'Mo' Wong scored off a rebound to give Taboo the lead once again. 4-3 Taboo. Hamish Pang (LPP) finally gave Taboo the first 2 goal lead of the game from a nice passing play from Tim Tsui and Kenny Chiu. Taboo looked to be cruising now until Peter Yeung got his first of the season with a little over 3 minutes remaining giving Inetasia some hope. Inetasia pulled the goalie to try and get the equalizer but was unable to gain the zone after Taboo clogged the neutral zone and had 3 chances at the empty net to seal the game - 2 from Hamish (one wide, and another sailing high over the net) and Kenny Chiu looking to tap on in on the side only to have it roll off his stick. Taboo held on for the win, Kirsten Rendell stopped 11, while Arthur Chan turned aside 18. The Three Stars: 1. Kenny Chiu (Taboo) 2. Rod Man (Inetasia) 3. Arthur Chan (Inetasia) Tale of 2 Teams Asiaxpat entered this game undefeated while HoiHoi was still looking for their first win. In a chippy game with each team taking a number of penalties, it was surprising that none of the goals came on the powerplay. Asiaxpat have scored first in every game so far, and Hamish Pang has been red hot having scored every one of these. Asiaxpat was dominant from the beginning, controlling play, and limiting HoiHoi from prime scoring areas. Slowly, Asiaxpat overwhelmed HoiHoi, getting 2 goals in the first, 2 in the second, and 2 more in the 3rd to round out the scoring. HoiHoi was unable to create enough chances to beat Jerome, who recorded the first shutout of the season. Sam Wong on the other end did his best to keep the team in the game, but with a few deflections including one off their own defense, there was just too much pressure. Sam ended the game saving 21, while Jerome stopped 11. The Three Stars: 1. Jerome Lui (AsiaXpat) 2. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 3. Jasper Chow (AsiaXpat)

October 25th, 2021 AsiaXpat Gets in the Win Column David Finifter and Michael Wong scored a pair of goals to lead AsiaXpat to a 7-3 win over Sapporo. It was 2-1 for AsiaXpat after the first period and 4-2 after the second. AsiaXpat got a boost by adding Francois Esterhuizen who is the league leader in points. The game went back and forth but it was GM Allan Yee's crew that picked up the 2 points. Michael Wong's pair of goals came late in the game to help seal the win. Scott Strickland scored a pair of goals for Sapporo but wasn't enough as AsiaXpat was able to hang on for the win. The Three Stars: 1. David Finifter (AsiaXpat) 2. Michael Wong (AsiaXpat) 3. Scott Strickland (Sapporo) Total Dominance for Sam Wai Sam Wai Raptors were in mid-season form as they had no problem in an 8-1 win over Bravo. Led by Mark Uhrynuk. Well, the only one minor problem was that the Raptors were not able to hold onto the shutout when Jackie Chan scored on a breakaway with 3:33 remaining in the game. The Raptors led 3-0 after the first and 5-0 after the second. Uhrynuk's 2 goals and Francois Esterhuizen’s 5 points were obvious stars of the game but goaltender Grant Phillips also had a say in it as his solid performance made it very difficult for Bravo to mount any comebacks. Phillips' stopped 14 out of 15 while at the other end, Zac Peters stopped 44 of 52. The Three Stars: 1. Mark Uhrynuk (Sam Wai) 2. Francois Esterhuizen (Sam Wai) 3. Keith Hong (Sam Wai)
Division 1 - Game Summaries
October 22nd, 2021 RBC Lions get their First Win! It needed 3 games but the RBC Lions finally picked up their first win of the season as they defeated AsixXpat 9-4. Led by Samuel Wong's hat trick and Cyrus Chen's 4 points, the Lions looked like a different team altogether. Nicolas Winchester subbed in and stabilized the defence, while goaltender Zac Peters was solid, stopping 20 of 24 shots. The Lions never trailed in the game and led 3-1 after the second period. Taking a commanding 5-1 lead, AsiaXpat mounted a comeback on goals by LPP's Bob Gates and Jeff Wall while Patrik Hammaren chipped in to cut the lead to 1. But a big goal by Wong with 25 seconds left in the period, reignited the Lions' hope of getting their first win of the season. In the third period, it was all Lions as they shut the door the rest of the way. Chen, Alyssa Ho, and Winchester added goals to seal the victory. AsiaXpat goaltender Even Thorpe stopped 26 of 35 shots in the loss. The Three Stars: 1. Samuel Wong (RBC Lions) 2. Cyrus Chen (RBC Lions) 3. Alyssa Ho (RBC Lions) Lucky 7... HKBN Continue to Roll on! Nicholas Winchester's 4 goals and 3 assists were too much for Manulife to handle as they lost to HKBN by the score of 10-6. There was nothing much early on but halfway in the first period, the flood gates opened. After Greg Smyth (LPP) gave HKBN a 1-0 lead, Blake Steele scored a couple of quick goals to give Manulife a 2-1 lead. But in the final 3 mins, Winchester scored a pair and sandwiched in between was Jon Szychta’s goal. In the second period, the teams continued to trade goals. Steel completed his hat trick but it was still not enough as HKBN continued their dominance. In the third, HKBN took a 9-6 lead and sealed it with Winchester’s 4th goal into an empty net. HKBN remains perfect with a 4-0 record while Manulife falls to 1-3. The Three Stars: 1. Nicolas Winchester (HKBN) 2. Blake Steele (Manulife) 3. Jon Szychta (HKBN)
Division 3 - Game Summaries
October 22nd, 2021 "Yip-pie" Ki Yay!! Both Bravo & Inetasia were looking for their first win this season after losing their season openers. Inetasia started well, Edwin Lau scoring just a minute into the game to take the early lead. It wasn’t until the halfway point of the first period did Jason Yip score for Bravo to tie it 1-1. This looked to be a tight defensive game as the team exchanged chances but both goalies, Arthur Chan for Inetasia and Antony "Mo" Chan for Bravo, looked sharp. It wasn’t until the last 20 seconds of the first did Bravo take the lead on the powerplay after Jasper Chow (LPP) was able to find the loose puck on a scramble and finally break the tie. However, the second period was all Bravo. Bravo scored 6 goals in the second - 4 by Jason Yip, 2 by Leon Mo, with the only reply from Inetasia scored by Danny Chiu. Inetasia looked in shock and this continued in the 3rd period. Jasper Chow (LPP) scored 3 more for Bravo until Inetasia's GM - Alton Ho was able to finally put another goal by Antony Chan with 40 seconds remaining. Too little too late. Bravo completed the game with both Jason Yip (5g,3a) and Jasper Chow (LPP) (4g,1a) having massive nights. Yip now leads the lead in scoring in this young season. Arthur Chan stopped 21 shots, while Antony Chan playing his first game stopped 24. The Three Stars: 1. Jason Yip (Bravo) 2. Jasper Chow (Bravo) 3. Leon Mo (Bravo) Full Court Press CHG played great team game in this one with a strong forecheck and good positioning to take away passing lanes from HoiHoi right from the start of the game. Michael Beselt and Harry Cho started the scoring for CHG before Gavino Ng was able to reply for HoiHoi to make it 2-1. CHG then took advantage of a power play to make it 3-1 and the. Never looked back closing out the first 4-1. A couple more goals in each of the next to periods completed the domination with an 8-1 win. Sam Wong made several amazing saves but just too many chances were given up by HoiHoi. Wong face 33 shots while Edward Lee faced 16 shots. The Three Stars: 1. Harry Cho (China Hockey Group) 2. Michael Welsh (China Hockey Group) 3. Hugo Fan (China Hockey Group) Captain Pang to the rescue Asiaxpat and Taboo was billed to be an exciting match up, and it did not disappoint. Asiaxpat took the early lead after a minute into the game with a goal by Hamish Pang. Chun Lok Wong responded for Taboo before Hamish Pang got his second followed by another Asiaxpat goal by Jasper Chow pinching in from the point closing out the first period 3-1. The second period continued with a number of chances for both teams but nothing to show for it until Leon Mo (LPP) was awarded a penalty shot, where he was able to out wait Jerome before deking to his backhand and scoring the only goal in the 2nd period. 3-2 for Asiaxpat at this stage. Whatever Taboo GM, Tim Tsui, told his team during the intermission seemed to have worked as Taboo got 2 quick goals from Derek Hu and Kenny Chiu in about a minute from the restart giving Taboo the lead for the first time in the game. However, whatever momentum they created was quickly shut down by Hamish Pang with his hattrick goal to tie the game at 4. The teams continued to exchange chances until Jon Mei (LPP) was able to finally break the tie with 1:05 remaining. The fans all thought that was it, as did Taboo as they seemed to relax just enough for Asiaxpat to tie the game on a wild scramble with only 32 seconds remaining - Hamish Pang's 4th of the night. Nothing was resolved in 3 on 3 OT and in the shootout, Asiaxpat's captain, Eric Pang was the only one to score giving Asiaxpat the win. Both goalies played well, but Jerome Lui helped Asiaxpat seal the win stopping 30, while Kirsten Rendell stopped 19. The Three Stars: 1. Eric Pang (AsiaXpat) 2. Hamish Pang (AsiaXpat) 3. Kenny Chiu (Taboo)
Division 3 Opening Night
October 15th, 2021 Welcome back SCIHL Division 3! Division 3 kicked off the season opener with Taboo Bar vs HoiHoi Pancake House. Taboo wasted no time to impress their sponsor Dev in attendance by getting an early goal in the first minute - Stuart Chan getting a fortunate deflection to get the first goal of the season past Sam Wong in net for HoiHoi. That seemed to wake up HoiHoi as both teams battled hard in the first to keep the score 1-0. In the 2nd period Taboo started to take over possession. Grant Phillips scored to take Taboo up 2-0 before HoiHoi received a goalie interference penalty while pressing for a reply. On the ensuing powerplay - Taboo had full possession and almost scored on a rebound, but Michael Shoong sacrificed his body by sliding across to protect the empty net. Unfortunately, in the wild scramble after the block, Taboo was able to find the loose puck and slide a powerplay marker past Sam. As the 2nd period was winding down, Sam Wong came out of the net to deny Derek Hu a breakaway but ended up gifting the clearing to Alton Ho (LPP) for an empty net with 2 seconds remaining in the 2nd. In full control now, Taboo’s Derek Hu added a 5th at the start of the 3rd period on a nice 2 on 1 with Stuart Chan. Gavino Ng of HoiHoi rounded out the scoring sneaking one by Kirsten Rendell and spoiling her shutout bid. But too little to late. Sam Wong finished the night with 29 saves while Kirsten stopped 11 for the win. The Three Stars: 1. Kirsten Rendell - Taboo 2. Stuart Chan - Taboo 3. Grant Phillips - Taboo The Harry Cho show This game was a nail bitter. A very evenly played game between CHG and Inetasia seeing momentum changing several times. CHG started quickly with Harry Cho getting his first of the night just one minute in. Inetasia's Wong Chun Lok and Andrew Weich responded giving Inetasia a 2-1 lead after 1. Ryan Culliton tied it early in the 2nd only to have Inetasia’s Dick Lee restore their lead shortly after. Then it was the Harry Cho show. Cho & Hugo Fan combined to score the next 3 goals over a 6-minute span to turn the game around for CHG and complete the hat-trick for Cho. Hugo Fan had a beauty as he circled out from behind the net after Cho dropped him the puck, spun at the faceoff circle and used the defense to fire a laser into short side the top corner past a screened Chan. Danny Chiu and Michael Welsh rounded out the scoring in the 3rd, CHG holding on for the win. Edward Lee and Arthur Chan each stopped 17 shots on the night in a very evenly played game. The Three Stars: 1. Harry Cho - China Hockey Group 2. Michael Welsh - China Hockey Group 3. Danny Chiu - Inetasia Pang-tastic Bravo & Asiaxpat looked to be an even matchup on paper and the first 2 periods proved just that as the teams played each other close exchanging a goal each in each period entering the 3rd period tied 2-2. Bravo scored 2 early goals in the 3rd for what looked like a comfortable 4-2 lead with under 10 minutes remaining, Jason Yip scoring his 2nd on the evening (2g,1a). However, Bravo seemed to run out of gas after that as the dynamic Pang duo of Eric Pang and Hamish Pang (no relation) ran havoc on the Bravo defense scoring or setting up the next 5 Asiaxpat goals to close out the 3rd period. The duo combined for 4g, 4a leading Asiaxpat to their first win of the season. Both goalies played well with Jerome Lui (Asiaxpat) stopping 14, while Arthur Chan (Bravo LPP) stopped 17 on the night. The Three Stars: 1. Hamish Pang - Asiaxpat 2. Eric Pang - Asiaxpat 3. Jason Yip - Bravo
Division 1 - Game Summaries
October 15th, 2021 Back to the Future It seemed like yesterday when Greg Smyth once upon a time were terrorizing the goalies in Hong Kong. Just like in the Dragon Centre days when players averaged 7-8 points a night, this game had that same feeling. Manulife goaltender Ray Loo felt the wrath as Smyth piled up 8 points to lead AsiaXpat to a 14-11 win. This game was definitely a roller coaster ride. AsiaXpat led 2-0, Manulife tied it 2-2, you get the picture! A combine 5 goals were scored in the first, 8 goals in the second and 11 goals were scored in the third. The third period was wild. AsiaXpat built up a 10-5 lead only to have Manulife storm back with 5 unanswered goals to tie the game at 10 with 5:56 left. But Smyth took control once again and scored a pair of late goals to retake the lead and the game. AsiaXpat goalie Evan Thorpe was peppered with 32 shots while Loo had 43 directed his way. The Three Stars: 1. Greg Smyth (AsiaXpat) 2. Whitney Olsen (AsiaXpat) 3. Blake Steele (Manulife) Spreading the Bandwidth HKBN thumped the young RBC Lions 11-1 with Jeff Wall, Bryan Crane and Jon Szychta leading the way with a combined 15 points. It was 4-0 after the first and 7-1 after the second. One bright spot on the RBC Lions team was Caden Wee, who was the only player to beat HKBN goaltender Dean Tzembelikos. The Lions went 0-4 on their powerplay opportunities. Help is on its way for the team as they look for their first victory. As for HKBN, they are undefeated so far and it does not look like any team will be able to derail them. The Three Stars: 1. Jeff Wall (HKBN) 2. Bryan Crane (HKBN) 3. Jon Szychta (HKBN)

SCIHL 2020-21 Champions - Sapporo
Sapporo comes back from 5-0 deficit against InetAsia to win 7-5 in an exciting Championship game! No words can explain the SCIHL Final that was played before a sold-out crowd at the Elements mall. Perhaps we can try … wow, holy smokes, unbelievable, or you’re kidding me? There were two storylines to this game. First, the start: InetAsia took a 2-0 first period lead as they were all over Sapporo. In the second period, they continued their dominance and popped in 3 more goals beginning with Keith Hong’s second of the game, just 10 seconds in. Francois Esterhuizen and Mike Lam scored the others and InetAsia had a commanding 5-0 lead. Time to take out the champagne? Sapporo had other ideas. Like they have during the entire season, they were the ‘come-back team’, but this one was a tough one, especially against the top team and with less than half a game to play. Second, the finish: Donald Chow got it going with a powerplay goal with 6 minutes remaining in the second period. Heading into the third period with a 5-1 lead, InetAsia was still in the driver’s seat. However, two early goals in the third gave Sapporo a huge boost as Scott Strickland and Hugo Fan was able to beat goaltender Ray Loo. A few minutes later, Sapporo scored another pair of goals by Fan and Chow and wouldn’t you know it, the game was now tied at 5. Sapporo kept coming and then Jonas Gullstrand got the go-ahead goal with 4:36 remaining. Yes, it was 6-5 for Sapporo at that point. InetAsia was shocked and stunned but they still have time left. However, they could not beat Sapporo goaltender Loron Orris and Chow sealed the deal with his hat trick goal into an empty net with 4 seconds remaining. What a game! Congratulations to GM Paul Chai, team Sapporo and Telford International who is the team sponsor. Of note, Donald Chow was named the playoff Most Valuable Player. The Three Stars: 1) Donald Chow (Sapporo) 2) Hugo Fan (Sapporo) 3) Loron Orris (Sapporo)
2020-21 SCIHL Final
The SCIHL Championship game will be between Inetasia and Sapporo - Saturday, May 15 beginning at 9:00pm. Location - The Rink @ Elements. Good luck to both teams!
Ice hockey executives worry about kids not playing sports
February 1st, 2021 SCMP New Ice hockey scene in Hong Kong worries that kids are suffering without sport - 'The cure can’t be worse than the disease'. The Hong Kong government’s restrictions in fighting the coronavirus might now be doing more harm than good, says the co-founder and director of the China Hockey Group, Gregory Smyth. The city’s hockey scene, which includes ice, inline and ball, has more than 1,200 regular participants, and the majority are kids. Smyth said children should be out playing sports right now, not sitting at home. Smyth's CHG runs the Junior Tigers, which has hundreds of youth players who have endured three ice rink shutdowns and more than 140 days without the ability to play. He said CHG will survive thanks to strong shareholders, but he feels the physical and mental toll may bring the largest cost. "The big impact is on the parents and the kids," said Smyth, who launched an elite men’s ice hockey tournament in the mid-1990s in his first official foray into the sport in Hong Kong. "The kids aren’t getting enough exercise. They’re getting depressed, they’re online all the time, they’re on devices and parents have to look after these kids if they’re not in school. It has a pretty negative impact." Smyth said he understands the need to fight the pandemic, but feels as if the government’s restrictions have gone too far. "The cure can’t be worse than the disease,” he said. “We’re in a situation now where some of the regulations are worse than the cure." Smyth said ice hockey, which has roots in Hong Kong dating back three decades, also stands on the precipice of exploding. Two new ice rinks were to open just before the pandemic swept in early last year - a sheet in Discovery Bay and one at The Lohas, a new development in Siu Chik Sha. This would bring the city’s total to five ice rinks, and allow for a massive expansion in terms of players, coaches and jobs. Each rink also hosts daily public skating and figure skating, helping bring in revenue given ice rinks are expensive to run and maintain. "The sport is ready to boom and the next generation is there," said Smyth. "This isn’t an expat sport. Our Junior Tigers programme is probably 80 per cent Chinese, so we’ve been able to introduce the sport quite well and grow it locally. We have a number of parents that have gone to school overseas and experienced it and then come back and have their kids play here." Hong Kong’s sport and recreation community finds itself suffering through blanket restrictions that have lumped outdoor sports with indoor sports. Smyth said one of the oddest things is the CHG runs games and practices out of Mega Ice, which is located within the Mega Box shopping complex in Kowloon Bay. "The mall is open and full of people all the time, but the rink is closed. Figure that one out." Hong Kong’s fourth wave has now dragged on for months, and sports venues and gyms have been locked down since early December with no end in sight. Reports are the government isn’t considering lifting any current restrictions until well after the Lunar New Year, which runs from February 12-15. Keith Fong, CEO of Powerplay Sports & Entertainment, which runs the inline league at the Jordan YMCA, and who has been involved in the city’s overall hockey scene for more than 20 years, said there is also an issue when it comes to Hong Kong’s geography. Ice hockey’s hot beds lie in countries like Canada, the US and all over Scandinavia and Russia, where kids have massive green spaces and outdoor options to fill in the void of not being able to play. Hong Kong, although littered with country parks and hiking trails, pales in comparison, and also has some of the most cramped living spaces in the developed world. "It’s different than say, in North America, where you might at least have a backyard," said Fong, who was the coach of the National Hong Kong Inline Hockey team that competed in the 2018 Asian Roller Games in South Korea. "But you know we’re cooped up here in four or five hundred square feet apartments, if that. So that’s where I come from when I look at this and its impact. There are no real alternatives for these kids right now." The closures have invariably hit the hockey scene’s coaches, which includes Daryl Wong. He works as an after school activity service provider, running inline lessons as well as ball hockey. He said he has received two government relief grants, one for HK$7,500 and another for $5,000, but they have done little to help his financial situation. "It’s been quite frustrating to not be able to put effort into the career I chose to do. I have had to scale down," said Wong, who is also an inline goaltender. Wong said he worries the government may not fully understand how much people love the games they play and rely on it for their livelihood and happiness. "You would think the government would understand how integral sport is to people’s lives at this point,” he said.

2018-2019 SCIHL Champs - Sam Wai Raptors
The SCIHL finals took place at Elements shopping mall in West Kowloon in front of expectant fans as defending champions Sapporo took on the heavily experienced Sam Wai Raptors. Both teams had reached the finals with 2-0 series sweeps despite mediocre regular season form seeing them finish 3rd and 4th place in the standings, stepping up and playing some of their best hockey in the playoffs. The finals ceremony was attended by Jeff Nankivell (Consul General of Canada for Hong Kong and Macao), Lowie Edjan (Group General Manager of Telford International, Sapporo Distributor), Gregory Smyth (Co-Founder and Chairman of the China Hockey Group) and SCIHL Commissioner Art Tam. The opening period of the game saw Sapporo start with intensity but Sam Wai goalie Loron Orris made some key saves early on that set the tone for his teammates. The period was closely fought but superstar and first overall pick Mike Yoshino then spurred into action, rushing down the ice and rounding Sapporo goaltender Kevin Rushton to put a pass in the crease where veteran Bruce Hicks tucked in the first goal of the game with just 4 seconds remaining in the period. 1-0 Sam Wai. The second period was all Sam Wai, where Michael Dick and Yoshino made the score 3-0 within 37 seconds of each other, cashing in using their lethal powerplay for the team's second goal and creating traffic in front for the team's third. Sapporo were dealt a blow losing leading scorer Dan Paterson for the majority of the game, and it showed as Sam Wai took control of the period. Sapporo's Jason Yee scored a good individual effort on the powerplay to make the score 3-1 midway through the second, but Yoshino added has 8th and 9th goal of the playoffs to complete his hat trick before the period was over. Clearly a fan favourite, hats scattered on to the ice as fans had clearly anticipated the league's leading scorer having a dominant performance this evening. The second period ended 5-1 to Sam Wai, one hand on the cup and what appeared to be no way back for Sapporo. However, the third period saw a shift of momentum as Sapporo came out with a point to prove as they desperately tried to claw their way back into the game. Sapporo's oft-absent, but proven playoff performer Ryan Grimes gave the team some hope, blowing a slapshot through Orris' 5-hole to bring the score to 5-2. Sam Wai looked to be holding on until the last minute of the game, where Sapporo pulled their goalie for the extra attacker and captain Paul Chai deflected a David Rhee shot into the net with 37 seconds left to go to make it 5-3. Still with the goalie pulled, Sapporo continued to push forward and Chai added his second of the game with just 16 seconds left after a scramble in front of Sam Wai's net, adding late late drama to the championship game and making the score 5-4. With a faceoff in the Sam Wai zone, and with Sapporo looking to tie the game with their third goal using the extra-attacker, Sapporo's Josh Steinhaus won the faceoff to Rhee, who had his point shot heroically blocked by Sam Wai's Michael Dick to preserve the win. A 5-4 final score and massive joy and relief for the Sam Wai team as they clinch their first SCIHL championship. Yoshino showed how valuable he was to the team, collecting 5 points on all 5 Sam Wai goals to finish the playoff leading scorer with 14 points in 3 games, ahead of Ryan Grimes who collected 11 points in 3 games. Keith Fong did the honours as he collected the trophy in front of jubilant teammates and fans, the last play of a hard fought 2018-19 SCIHL season. We would like to thank all the sponsors and support for another exciting and successful SCIHL season. Also thanks to all the players, fans, refs and staff. We look forward to continuing to grow the league and the sport of hockey in Hong Kong and Asia, and without everyone this would not be possible.

Sugar Ray Sweet Loo
Oct 11th - Hong Kong Sam Wai goaltender 'Sugar' Ray 'Sweet' Loo out duelled his counterpart Horrance Cheung with a 31 save performance as they defeated Mark One by a score of 4-1. Cheung made a huge save early in the game when he stuck out his right pad to rob Keith Fong of a sure goal after a nice centering pass from Leon Mo. At the other end, Loo made it look easy although there were a few anxious moments. Loo had to be extra sharp especially with the father and son combo of Jimmy and Michael Wong who were like hungry sharks circling around the Sam Wai crease. Just a few days earlier at another venue during a game, Michael scored three times against Loo including one nasty deke that turned Loo inside out. Perhaps Loo’s excuse was that his equipment did not match that night but he got it right in this game with his white and red pads to go with the new Sam Wai threads. Timmy Tsui opened the scoring for Sam Wai on an easy tap-in after Vinny Chow poked the puck loose under Cheung’s glove. In the second period, Richard Hon’s slapper from the left point beat Cheung in the top corner on the short side to give Sam Wai a two goal lead. However, a late goal by Mark One, with 10 seconds remaining in the period by GM Peter Chong, gave them some life. It was not much of a life, given the fact that they only had 8 players, compared to Sam Wai’s 11. In the third period, with Mark One trying to mount a comeback, Leon Mo took over. Mo was in the right spot at the right time as he poked in a loose puck after Cheung made the initial save but could not corral the rebound. Mo then scored his second after Fong sprung him loose with a hail marry pass up the middle of the ice. Mo calmly skated in and blasted a shot passed the right shoulder of Cheung for a commanding 4-1 lead. That was it for the scoring as a successful first week for the SCIHL was in the books with many more to come!
Ho-Yeah!
Oct 11th - Hong Kong The first game of the 2015-2016 SCIHL season was a close one between Bravo and K-Pocha as the winner was not decided until the final 3:24 left to play in the third period. The players and fans were still buzzing after the opening ceremony as singer Shay Liu dazzled the crowd at Elements with her new single. Ashley Chow scored the first goal of the season just two minutes into the game to give Bravo a 1-0 lead as he beat K-Pocha goalie Warren McInnes. McInnes came out of retirement once he found out that the SCIHL was back and celebrating their 20th anniversary this season. K-Pocha GM Donny Ho tied the game shorthanded just less than two minutes later as his team was serving a bench minor for not figuring how to use the gate at the bench which resulted in a ‘too many men’ penalty. It was a big second period for K-Pocha scoring three times before Bravo launched their comeback. The trio of pilots, Steve Allison, Doug Lightbound and Norm Chin scored in a span of 2:30 to begin the period. Allison and Lightbound are actually real pilots while Chin only likes to 'fly'airplanes. But before the period ended, Chow scored his second of the night which gave his team a spark as they were busy figuring out the gates at their end of the bench. Bravo plugged away at the K-Pocha lead in the third on Allan Yee’s individual effort with 9:30 remaining. Danny 'the warrior' Vo tied the game just over two minutes later and the comeback was complete. Well, not quite as K-Pocha Captain Gene Cheh made sure there was no overtime as he scored the go ahead goal with 3:24 remaining. A dejected Bravo team could not mustard up much offence and fell short in the season opener. Prior to the game, Bravo sponsor Michael Shoong and K-Pocha sponsor, Him Gale were on hand at the opening ceremony to receive their 'thank you' plaques from Thomas Poon.

The first puck drop will be 8:00pm Sunday, October 11th at the Rink in the beautiful Elements mall in Tsim Sha Tsui.rn
2015-2016 SCIHL Team Jerseys
Sept 22 - Hong Kong SCIHL League Commissioner Art Tam unveiled the four jersey designs for the upcoming season. Early reviews from the players and sponsors - two thumbs up! This was extremely positive news as the designs and production came from JOG Sports, also the official supplier of the brother league of the SCIHL - the China Ice Hockey League (www.CIHL.com). A nice touch from the league this year is that all the players will have their jerseys personalize with their own number and last names. League sponsor Wicked Cool Toys will have their logo on the front of all the league jerseys. “We are extremely excited and thrilled with the organization from the jerseys to the draft and everything that has been put together for the SCIHL so everyone can really enjoy hockey in Hong Kong." - Thomas Poon, Wicked Cool Toys.
