Re: Dog Days: A Niagara IceDogs Story

Post by Marleau12C »

August 2010, US Tour, and Niagara Cup Tournament



August 9th

All players have been recalled from the St. Catharines Falcons for the preseason!



The IceDogs begin their American Tour with a stop to play the Seattle Thunderbirds! Jake Marsh will get the start in goal for Niagara! Jake Marsh stopped 9 of the 13 shots he faced before being pulled in favor of Nicholas Malone, who stopped all 15 shots the rest of the way, holding off a Thunderbirds so that the IceDogs could complete the comeback victory!
