Season Review
A website update at long last!!!
Hey Canucks fans, sorry for the lack of updates over the past few months, but there wasn't much to write about – and um… I got a bit lazy.
The 'nucks had a pretty good season. We ended up third in the B-South. We would have been second but we had a couple forfeits. Only four real losses this year, and we had the least amount of goals against so credit is definitely due to our phenomenal keeper Mark and our extraordinary defensive core. We had some great offensive stars too. Joel stepped it up this season, and scored a good percentage of our goals. New addition Harry, gave our offence a nice boost and ended up near the top of the leader board in points. Last year's offensive stars didn’t quite keep up their scoring proficiency (probably a bit too old and out of shape) but still managed to give a decent performance with solid, steady play. Oh, and the Coachman stepped it up for us too with big delicious jugs of Keiths, and a plethora of deep fried goodness after each and every game.
Playoffs are coming up and we got slotted to play the Titans in round one. Time to turn it up boys!
Game 2: Sat. March 15, 8:30 @ Wave Sports Center
Game 1: Thu. Mar 20, 8:30 @ Tom Graham Arena (Richmond Hill)
Game 3 (if necessary): Mar 22, 1:30 @ Tom Graham Arena (Richmond Hill)

Recap: 11/3/2007 Canucks vs Lightning
The Canucks journeyed into St. Catherines to face the Lightning in the back half of a home and home series. After a narrow victory last weekend, the Canucks came out of the gate fast and promptly scored three goals in the first period to jump ahead to a lead that the Lightning were never able to reach. Steller goaltending held us in the rest of the game and we potted two more goals to get the easy win with a score of 5-2.

Recap: 10/20/2007 Canucks vs Oilers
The Canucks headed into indian country to play the Oilers last weekend. With no blockades enroute, most of the team arrived unharmed and ready to face our old rivals. The Canucks were down five or six players due to Arie’s wedding, but the subs came out in full force and performed admirably.
We got off to a great start with two great goals from the point on a single shift by Jack (yeah that’s right…) to give ourselves a nice two goal cushion for the first two periods. After two periods our lack of depth started to show and we got a bit tired and the Oilers capitalized by scoring three goals to put us down by one with half a period remaining. Fortunately Brian found a loose puck in front of the Oilers net and sent it home to tie up the match. The teams fought hard to break up the tie, but time wound down a little too quick. Another minute or two and we would’ve had’em. Afterwards, good times were had by all at the local watering hole in Caledonia, where we were serenaded by the locals and served up some lecker beverages.
Next week’s game sees us back at home for our official home opener against Lincoln. With most of the wedding crashers back in the line-up, it could have been good, but alas yet another wedding next week so we’re short players again. We’re anxiously waiting the day when the team comes out in full force and demolishes the competition.

Recap: 10/13/2007 Canucks vs Stars
Well it was off to Smithville last weekend to take on the Stars. With a bunch of guys missing and a few guys playing for the first time, we were in tough but we took it to them most of the game and ended up with a hard-fought 4-3 victory.
After some sloppy play in the beginning of the game, the Canucks were down 1-0, but we quickly bounced back just seconds later as new Canuck Harry wired one upstairs to tie it up. The game went back and forth a few times and Wade scored one and Joel added two more. As the clock died down, Mark stood on his head stopping a number of solid chances by the Stars and made an awe-inspiring glove save in the dying seconds.
All in all, not a bad game for us, although we should be able to do much better as the season goes on - and wedding season dies down.
Next week, we’re off to Caledonia to face off against the Oilers. Since Arie is getting married the same night we’ll have to make do with a depleted lineup again, but we’ll give ’er 110% and see what we can do.
