After a 0-0 draw on Saturday at Charlton I needed some goals and I certainly got them at the Coventry Arena tonight where Coventry Blaze demolished Newcastle Vipers 9-2 in the elite ice hockey league. Quite a considerable contingent of Geordies had made the trek from Newcastle.
After Blaze went 6-1 up Vipers changed their net tender but to no avail, although Blaze failed to score the 10 Blaze fans were chanting for. What would be a red card offence in football gets two minutes in the sin bin in hockey and Vipers certainly lived up to their physical reputation.
Two minutes before the end it all went off and Vipers No.37 Derek Campbell had to be restrained by the referee as he tried to continue the argument. He received a game misconduct as well as a two minute penalty.
With Leamington having won their vital match 3-0 on Saturday and regained their place at the top of the BGB Business Midlands Division it hasn't been such a bad sporting weekend.
