The season has ended for the Blues with their second game against Guelph at Varsity Arena. It was a heartbreaking game which the Blues led 3-0 going into the third period on goals by Jamie Coon, Peter Andrikopoulos and Greg Van Sickle all scored in the second period. Even though the Blues survived a powerplay with two men short for over a minute, they eventually succumbed to the strength of Guelph's fine team.

Blues' final game of the regular season against RMC was fast paced.
The finest goal came on a power play with Mike Speer's quick pass
from the middle of the blue line to Sandy Sajko at the left point.
Sandy's hard slap shot on the fly was unbeatable.
Both Dan Bellissimo and Frank Marciello scored two goals each and
Paul Handley rounded off the scoring with a scrambled goal in front of the net.

Jan 11th, Saturday, Blues 7 - Brock 3. The game was somewhat marred with

Paul Handley, Jamie Coon, Joel Zinn, (and with Brock goalie pulled) Jamie Coon,
and Steve Richmond. (mk)
Jan 10th, Friday, Blues 2 - 1 Guelph. Shawn Holloway tied the score at one all
in the third period, and then Mike Speer found the go-ahead and winning goal with
his trademark slap shot from the left point! (mk)
