Sled Hockey RESULTS: Bob Chase Frostbite Classic
Turnstone hosted the 15th Annual Bob Chase Frostbite Classic as 11 teams from six states traveled in for Heartland league matches.
Turnstone's first two games were decided by one goal as our Turnstone Flyers went toe-to-toe in a 2-3 loss to the Sled Wings from Grand Rapids and a 1-2 loss to the Steel from Indianapolis. Both games were end-to-end action. The Indy game was decided in the final 11 seconds as one of our athletes broke his stick on the final drive which led to a 2-1 rush for the game-winning goal. Turnstone also played tight with the Thunder from Bloomington, IL, as Turnstone scored in the third period to bring the score to 1-2 but the Thunder sealed the game 1-4. The Flyers' final match came from the top-ranked Sled Preds from Nashville. Turnstone started the game hot as a rookie, Aaron Wolf scored his first-ever goal to give us the lead which carried the team through the 2nd period but the Sled Preds firepower became too strong in the 1-8 match.
Turnstone will travel to Grand Rapids, March 24-26 for the League Championship followed by the State Championship April 1 in Indy. Turnstone will conclude their season April 13-16 in St. Louis for Nationals.
