Dawgs Kick off winter season with 2 losses but build confidence.

The Moondawgs fell for the 2nd time ( 1st in regular season) after getting knocked off by the league favorites , the Canadian Air Force on Sunday. The Moondawgs skated with the CAF team for the first 27 minutes but then the Canadians, being Canadians took over the game and exploited the MoonDawgs weaknesses. Scoring on 5 shots from the point that seemed to pinball off no less than 3 players was how the Canadians took the lead and the game. The final score was 11-5 but the 'Dawgs showed a never quit attitude by scoring 3 goals in less than a 4 minute window in the 3rd. The Canadians, once again being Canadians, flexed their hockey muscle by answering back with goals of their own within 30 seconds of 2 of the 3 goals scored by the 'Dawgs in the 3rd.

Overall the game was fun and the Moondawgs now know what they need to work on to compete in this league. Having a short bench did not help this week. We had a player out sick, a player out of town, and a player injured in the 1st. Couple that with 7 new faces on the squad this season and yeah, it is going to take some adjustments.  Growing Pains if you will.  Next game is next Sunday.

I will work on getting Bios for the 2010-2011 Moondawgs this week.

New winter season starts Sunday

Winter Season starts Sunday. We have a sponsor which is Awesome. Thanks to A-1 Carbonic for sponsoring us. 


We play those Tripods in the 1st game.. surprise, surprise eh?


Moondawgs have a few new faces  and are excited about the season. We have a few guys who are no longer with us so we would like to welcome Trey, Ryan, Paco, Pooki, and Evan on to the squad.   We had a great group of guys already and these additions are no different.  


Trey and Ryan are a couple guys who were buddies outside of hockey but they are hockey players from the old school. I think Trey still uses wooden sticks , and I know he uses duct tape to tape his socks.  Paco comes to us from the Smart Alecks and Pooki is his wife. Evan is a guy who played roller hockey and has just gotten into ice. 


Sean who played forward for us is the new Goalie since our goalie last year was suspended.


All in all this has the makings of a great season. We are looking forward to it and hope you, our readers, are too.  I will try to post pictures and videos as much as I can. I have a couple guys to help out on this blog this season so you should see more updates!

All good things must come to an end EH?

Well the dream was dreamed and put into action. On April 19, 2010 the Oklahoma Moondawgs were finally and actually a real life hockey team starting their first season ever playing against the Smart Alecks in the Okc Mens Adult hockey league. On Aug 15, 2010 the 'Dawgs ended their season losing to those same pesky Smart Alecks.  In what was one of the best games of the year for the 'Dawgs , the 'Dawgs fell 5-4 . They , for the most part, out played their opposition and the game was tied going into the third period. The last frame took its toll on the Moondawgs , as they only had 5 forwards and 3 D-men.  The Dawgs gave up 2 goals  very late and scored 1 with :34 seconds left to pull within 1.  The last 34 seconds the 'Dawgs  registered 5 shots on goal but couldn't put the equalizer on the board.

It was a great season and the main goal of improvement and competitiveness was , in my humble opinion, reached by pretty much everyone.   We are already looking forward to winter season , and the excitement it brings.
