Sockeyes play heart-breakers downing 'Hawks 3-1 in Ladner
The visiting Richmond Sockeyes played heart-breakers on Valentine's Day, downing the Delta Ice Hawks 3-1 at Ladner Arena Tuesday night (Feb. 14).
The loss dropped the 'Hawks two points further behind the PIJHL leading Sockeyes who have 70 points after 41 games (35 wins, six losses).
The Ice Hawks have fashioned a respectable record, racking up 59 points over 40 games (28 wins, nine losses, two overtime defeats and one tie). That total puts them in second place in both the Tom Shaw conference and the league overall.
This weekend the 'Hawks have a chance to try and gain some ground on Richmond with a pair of games. On Saturday they travel to North Delta to play the Devils at Sungod Arena. Then on Sunday they play a makeup game at Ladner Arena against the Abbotsford Pilots.
That game was originally slated for Jan. 17 but heavy snowfall prevented the Pilots from making the trip to South Delta. Game time Sunday 8 p.m.
Then, next Tuesday (Feb. 21) the 'Hawks close out their regular season home schedule when they host the Grandview Steelers. The puck drop for that game is the usual 7:30 p.m.
And on Feb. 24, the final game of the regular season is set for MSA Arena where they again meet up with the Abbotsford Pilots.
Dates have not been set for post season play.
