Photo of the Hockey Now: 1 March 2011

In the first round of the playoffs, Chelsea hockey faced rival Lumen Christi.  Due to the Chelsea/Ypsi basketball game that overlapped the hockey game, I could shoot only the third period of the game.  That meant I missed Chelsea’s building a lead over LC and instead arrived just in time to see LC tie the game.


That was actually the go-ahead goal in the third period, but the sentiment was the same.

Because it’s an intense rivalry, the Chelsea students aren’t afraid to let the LC players know what they think:


He’s not celebrating a goal; he’s jumping to avoid the player on the ice.  The puck is under the logo.

The go-ahead goal shown in the first picture proved to be the winning goal for LC, bringing Chelsea’s season to an end.

Oh, and is hockey a rough sport?  Uh…yeah.  Look what can happen even with a full face shield!
