Hats off to Privateer owner Nicole Kirnan who in less than 24 hours was able to plug the holes left by a host of players refusal to make the trip to Akwesasne. She not only filled the void left but was in attendance to watch as her team skated off with a 9-5 win over the Warriors at the Bonnie Castle.
Despite all the distractions and criticisms raining down over the suspensions and the circus surrounding the controversy the Privateers not only made a game of it but went out and won it with 10 new faces in the lineup. A four goal night from Brad Smulders and a two goal debut from Brendan Baumgartner was enough to send the Warriors home empty handed.
With 1200 in attendance the Privateers seem to have overcome what now seems to be a minor hickup
Brendan Baumgartner is a great player. He was with the Brooklyn Aviators and traded for future considerations? Go going Brendan, wish you were back in NY.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember hearing that name. Was he waived? Nice way to debut
