The Cougars rallied in the 2nd, but it was not enough to stop the Lions.
In a game that saw more than its share of goals fired from the blue line, the Peachtree Ridge Lions beat the Chattahoochee Cougars Friday night at the Marietta Ice Center 8 goals to 1.
Armed with the speed of Mitch Nylen and the fearless agility of 8th grader Daniel Parow, the Lions controlled the puck with authority throughout the first period, even when short-handed. The period ended 2-0 Lions.
In the second, the Cougars came off the bench strong and forward Austin Ulich scored an early goal to make it 2-1. Chris McConnell answered from the blue line with a goal for Peachtree Ridge. Two more goals for the Lions ended the period at 5-1.
Short-benched with 12 skaters, Chattahoochee lost some of its steam in the third period, allowing 3 more goals including one by Parow while the Lions were short-handed. More pictures from this game.
