San Francisco Quakes
Quakes vs. Puckheads
Our second round playoff match up was a tough one against the #1 placed Puckheads. Goalie John and our excellent defense did a good job holding them to just a single goal in the first period. But at the start of the second, the Puckheads really poured it on and scored a couple quick goals. But Jon put us on the board when he had a breakaway and looking calm, skated in close and beat their goalie. Another highlight for us that period was a sustained attack where our forwards and defense had great passing and kept possession for so long that the visibly shaken Puckheads iced the puck as soon as they finally had the chance. Great teamwork and a great season, everyone! Even though we lost the game 1-4 against this tough opponent, we played one of our best games of the season.

No word yet from the league manager about when our next season will begin, but I'm guessing early August. I'll let you know as soon as I hear. Finally, soon a group of us will be heading to Cologne, Germany to represent the SF Earthquakes in the Gay Games VIII. We have a goalie from France, two SoCal brothers, and three Germans joining with Quakes Kieran, James, Dan W., Jeff, Pete, L.D. and Mike. Wish us luck! -
