Cimo's and BWW Roll as Windmill Reels

Week 2 is in the books for the CCHL where fans were treated to an OT thriller Monday with Cimo's earning their first victory of the season over a struggling Windmill squad who remains winless. Cimo's forward Chris "The Hobbit" Robert potted his second of the night two minutes into the extra session to give Cimo's their first win since last year's final. Showing off the same resolve that won them the CCHL's ultimate prize last March, Cimo's stormed back late to tie the game. Then, with the 'Mill seemingly unable to regain their focus after what looked to be an easy victory, Robert struck and sent the Cimo's crowd into a frenzy. Along with Robert's pair of tallies, Cam "Bam" Heath added two and Tom "Badger" Carroll, "Flyin" Ryan Williamson and Ian "Hambone" Hamlet each added one. For the 'Mill the lone bright spot of the night was Mike "Tricky Dick" Richard's season high five goal night. Following the game however, 'Mill Captain Gavin "You Betcha" Faretra made it clear his team would not go quietly into the night and guaranteed a win next Tuesday over Cheers!

Game number two pitted a couple unbeaten teams with Cheers and BWW facing off and they did not disappoint. Ultimately it was BWW who prevailed by a 5-3 score with Cheers pressing to tie the game until the final whistle. Captain Travis "Gang Bang" Banga and Bill "Hawkeye" MacDougall led way for BWW as Hall-of-Famer Shayne "Steel" LeBreton added one. The story-line of the evening coming into the night was how newly acquired BWW forward Corey "Cockroach" Laroche would fair facing off against his former team of three seasons and the only team he'd ever know in the CCHL prior to this off-season's controversial trade to BWW. Although he was held off the scoresheet many of the Cheers faithful were spotted in the packed crowd wearing his former #9 Cheers sweater. Former linemate and Cheers Captain was quoted when asked about what kind of impact the loss of the "Cockroach" might have on this upcoming season with, "I like the guys we have in our room right now. I'm not going to comment on who is or isn't here anymore, my priority right now is those other 11 guys in that room and trying to win games. We have a lot of young talent in there, Matt Nadeau hasn't lost a faceoff since Bantam A's in 2001, why don't you guys ever talk about that? Are we done here?" Time will tell whether the loss of the Cockroach will be Cheers undoing or if they will rally together to overcome adversity.
