The Stormtroopers suffered their worst loss in franchise history, falling to the Coyotes 7-0 in Monday evening's OCICS contest. The loss marks the fifth time the team has been kept off the score sheet in nine games.Unable to mount an effective counter attack, the Stormtroopers spent much of the evening in their own end under an intense barrage of rubber. By the end of the second period, the outcome of the game and the final box score were determined as the mercy rule kicked in and the clock ran down the third period without stoppage.
In the previous meeting for both teams, the Stormtroopers managed a scoreless stalemate, handing the Coyotes one of the few setbacks of their 6-1-1 regular season record. In the rematch, the Troopers found themselves missing several key players in Michael Baranich, Nathan Clemens, and Rob Wrzesniewski. The Coyotes on the otherhand have added several offensively gifted players to what was already a leathal attack.
Next up for the Stormtroopers is the Knights, the defending OCICS Spring League champions. The puck drops Wednesday, July 25 at 9:00 p.m.
