Landon Hockey 3 GP 5

Traveling to Cabin John to play the team from Rockville Pike is a form of penance. The MoCo rink has poor ice, inadequate stands and the worst sight lines of any team in MAPHL. The home team, according to its manager, has played 6 games; whereas, the Bears have had one scrimmage against St. John’s College High School and an IAC match against SSSA.

The 1^st period tested the boards at the circumference of the ice (loosely translated) with stern checks by both teams. The home team had the initial tally at 6:41 remaining of the opening period. The Bears responded @6:01 on a goal byQuinn Farland with assist to Arthur Smink. Two minutes later one of 3 IAC schools with a Bulldog as a mascot took the lead at 5:03

The next 15 minutes saw the goals remain relatively untouched; GP tallied at 5:17.

The Bears, with strong support from their vociferous fans, did not back down. The team from Rockville Pike added to the advantage with a fourth biscuit in the basket at 7:59. Quinn beat the GP goalie @5:51 with helpers by Zaakir Kahn and Ishan Sethi. Another Bulldog “back-o-the-net” was recorded at 1:43. Unfazed Quinn earned his hat trick @ 0:41 assists by Zach Lammers and Ishan.
