Stars Shine in First Game of Round Robin
The PWA Clippers suffered a devastating loss in the first game of the York Simcoe Round Robin playdowns on Saturday January 22.  Hosted by the Richmond Hill Stars at Elvis Stojko Arena, the Clippers had not seen league play since December 20th.

What became clear was that while the Clippers held practices and 3 very tight and competitive exhibition games, something was lost in the month off from facing their real rivals.

The coach had some new plays added to start the game, with D on wing for face-off to open the lanes for the wingers to explode out from behind the block.  As the game proceeded, the coach moved line ups, but to no avail.  The Clippers had to use their penalty kill no less than 6 times (including a 5 on 3 awarded to the homer crowd), resulting in 2 PK goals, along with one penalty shot goal.

In the end, the final damage was 6-0 in this match-up, with 2 goals palatable for the Stars, and the others cut in with some bad breaks for our boys in black.

What's in store next for the Clippers now is a matter of personal pride in regrouping after the cold water wake up call following their sojourn.  The team knows they have the York Simcoe Champions target on their backs, and faces a tough series of challenges to be in contention to defend their title. 

Clippers face RH Stars again on Tuesday, January 25th at home, then move on to face the Orillia Terriers later in the week.  The Clippers will be re-seeded based on these 4 games, and this will determine their fate for the first round of YSL playoff games.

Let's hope they can show RH Stars what they are really made of in the next game.  One game, one shift at a time.
