The Panther girls faced
tough competition at the
Chiefs OMHA hopes dashed?
Continued from page 10
John Rasenberg said Lucknow's powerplay seemed
to be the difference.
Both games were physical with some heavy hitting
and some stick work behind the play. The Chiefs
coaching staff is concerned about Lucknow's low hit-
ting style that could injure knees and ligaments. The
coaches complained about the lack of calls on the low
hitting from the referee to no avail.
The Chiefs will be eliminated from the OMHA play -
downs if they lose tonight at home at 9 p.m. If they
win, they'll head back to Lucknow on the weekend for
game four of the best three out of five series.
Soldan said the Chiefs need to play the physical game
and shoot more on the Lucknow net if they are to win
tonight.
"They have 'tended to try to work m too close and
ultimately not get the opportunity to shoot," Soldan
said.
The Chiefs also have eight Beechy Juvenile League
games left as well as the playoffs. They could play up
to three games on the weekend to make up for post-
poned game due to snowstorms as well as the OMHA
playdowns.
