Ashley’s Aventinus (4-8-1) fell 0-5 to the D2 Yaks Wednesday night, snapping a 2-game win streak.
“The heart-breaker came with 5 seconds left in the 2nd when they went up 3-0,” said defenseman Ron Coleman.
More than heart break, the team found themselves scrambling for the basics, from personnel to equipment. Goaltender Ryan Bidwell was a late game scratch after injuring himself in a freak snow shoveling accident that left his shoulder reportedly “jacked up.”
Forward Dave Ferguson reported to the game in the second period with only one glove. “Why Dave would come to a game with one sparkling glove is beyond me, ” said GM Mark Woods.
Rumors that he had attended a Michael Jackson Thriller album celebration prior to the game are as yet unconfirmed.
