Ottawa Blizzard Floorball Club

Manor Park’s Ottawa Floorball League (Atom-Peewee) came to an end last night as 4 teams battled for Ottawa Floorball Supremacy. After exciting round robin games, the Vikings saw themselves face the Titans. The Titans offered some resistance but the Vikings came on top with spectacular performances from their goalie and defencemen. Their widespread offence was too much to handle as they exploded to a 7-2 3rd place finish. The Championship game was played between the Knights and Spartans. Right from the start, we knew this was going to be a long game. They exchanged a goals in the first period. In the second period, the Knights came out flying and scored 3 goals. However, the Spartans kept their heads up and started their reply with a goal. Both teams had solid defense and gave no openings to their opponents. In the third period, the Spartans and Knights exchanged a pair of goals and the Spartans potted two more for a 6-6 tie and bring this game to overtime. By then, both goalies had 25 plus saves under their belts, involving great athleticism, acrobatics and plenty of mask saves. During overtime, both teams had great scoring chances but the goalies’ stellar performances led this game to a shootout. Through the first 5 shooters, the Spartans put 2 on the board and the knights had 1. The Knights final shooter had the chance to keep things alive but wrung it off the post. Therefore, the Spartans claim the Manor Park Cup for the second year. Quite frankly, both teams deserved to win in this spirited tilt but unfortunately there could only be one winner, the Spartans.
