ANN ARBOR– Ricky Winowiecki may have the distinction of starting the first and largest Insane Clown Posse fan site, but Saturday he was rocking Mott’s world with two goals and only five other skaters as Ruination won 4-2 to end a two-game losing streak. John Vella had a goal and two assists while Brett Vogel added the game-winner. Jon Molnar added an assist.

The team was singing the praises of goaltender Rusty Barron, who shook off a tough home-and-home series with Black Ops, turning back Mott time an again. “It helps when you rebound well,” said Barron.
Ruination has suffered from a recent bout of absenteeism over the last three games, averaging about seven skaters per game. Much of the blame has been shifted to GM Mark Woods, who made the decision to sit defenseman Mark Woods for the previous two games as a so-called “learning opportunity” for the team.
“Mark Woods out for two games… two-game losing streak. Mark Woods comes back… win. Correlation?” said a smug Woods.
Winger Shawn Lopez provided much needed help, arriving late in the third period. “He looked so fast,” exclaimed a fan in the stands, speaking of his skating, not so much on his arriving to the rink.
