After the playing of O Canada there was a moment of silence for the Americans killed in New York and Washington on September 11th. A plane flew over just before this and I felt a lot better as there'd been no air traffic for a few days.

Final Score:..............York Region Shooters.............2............Durham Flames..........0.............

Attendance was about 20 on this cold night. The field was being used earlier for a teen girls game. I had the touque and gloves on so my notes are messier than usual.

Robert Scala earned the shutout for York Region. David Rumack was listed as head coach and trainer in tonight's game (for all you fans).

Flames were being beaten quite often for breakaways in the second half. If they play like this against Ottawa Wizards on Saturday afternoon (game time moved up to 2:00pm) we may see a double figure game!
