KMC Eagles (3) Gets Big Win In Friendly Match

9-4 was the final score.  Normally E3 would be on the losing end of that score line but not on this day.  E3 now knows what it feels like to be on the winning end of a blowout. 

KMC Eagles E-3 played the Wiesbaden Viking’s B team in a friendly match in Mainz.  The team arose early on a Sunday morning to make the drive and play some early morning hockey.  The Eagles brought 3 full forward lines and 2 defense lines however, we lost center Steve Cotta early in the first period due to an ankle injury. 

The game didn't start out so well when, early in the game, the first line dominated possession in the zone but couldn't put one in.  Wiesbaden broke out quick, beat the D and scored the first goal of the game.  After that point, the Eagles seemed to find their legs and quickly dominated for the majority of the game. 

It was a great game for the developing Eagles team to practice some much needed game time situations.  The team showed great improvement overall.  It was also a great confidence booster. 

This team could be trouble for DPL Division 4A come playoff time. 

Goals were scored by :

Todd Lutz (2)

Ludwig Schweinfurth (2)

Craig Domko (2)

Shawn Boos (1)

Kirk Brower (1)

Ruediger Schulte (1) on a penalty shot

Heather Cohen scored but the goalie knocked it out and the ref didn't see it cross the line so it didn't count. 

Goalies Mike Kwain and Gabe Bjorkman split the time in the net.  Both goal tenders played solid with each stopping many shots and only letting in 2 goals apiece. 

New Year's Resolutioners.

The new year is almost upon us and for many people, that means time to make a change and normally that change is with their physical appearance. If you are waiting until January 2nd to get started with your physical goals, my advice to you is to don't even start. If you truly wanted to change, you would have started already. Why wait until a specific date? Only 1% or less of people stick to their new year's resolutions. Let me tell you this. You will NOT see results in the first few weeks you start. That is when most people get discouraged and quit. It takes a lot of time and dedication to see changes in anything you do. Save yourself the money and discouragement.

This may sound a bit insensitive but the people that start the gym on January 2nd and the following weeks are just an massive inconvenience to the people that are there on the regular.  Taking up parking spots and weight stations.  The most frustrating thing about that is that we know that you won't be there for very long. 

If you truly do want to make a change, then you must realize that you have to be in it for the long haul. It is no easy task committing to what you need to do to realize the change you want. So, do yourself a favor. Really think about your goals and be realistic about them. Don't wait until January 2nd. Start right meow!
