Friday, Jan 27, 2012 - Mustangs Coach loses more hair

Mustangs were back in N.Dame to take on the Miller Aces -- their last head to head in Altona had resulted in an overtime win for the Stangs ... and the fans were treated to much of the same nail biting action this evening.  Regulation time ended with a 3-3 tie. Although OT did not finish the game off, the Mustangs' 2 goals in the 3-man-shootout secured the win. 

Thursday, Jan 26, 2012 - Mustangs allow Morris to sneak by

It was a mild winter evening when the Mustangs hosted the Morris Mavericks for a very close battle.  The two teams took turns exchanging goals to reach the second period at a 2-2 tie ... followed by a 3-3 tie after three periods.  It was brief overtime period when the Mavericks were awarded a courtesy penalty shot which clinched it for the visiting team.  A slight setback but not too much damage as the Mustangs maintain first place in the league.  Next local game action:  Jan 27 @ 7:30 pm in N.Dame vs Altona. 

Friday, Jan. 20, 2012 - Mustangs continue Winning Ways

Team Mustangs got off to a strong start with two quick goals in the first period but soon realized the force they were against when Altona scored late in the first and twice in the second leaving the Stangs trailing 3-2 after two.    The Mustangs sank their spurs late in the third on a powerplay goal that put them back in the game.  But regulation time could not settle the score, throwing both teams back into battle into overtime.  It took but a brief 19 seconds for the Mustangs to take the reigns and secure their 9 game winning streak.  Today's Life Lesson:  Mustangs need to play a solid 60 minutes vs. 10 in the first and 10 in the third to come out with a solid win. But a W is a W.  Next action: January 26 and 27 at 7:30 pm vs. Morris and Altona respectively - both games in N.Dame:  COME SUPPORT TEAM MUSTANGS! 

Wednesay, Jan 18, 2012 - Mustangs Madness continues with 8 game winning streak

Although the end result was much of the same for the Mustangs - Winkler GVC Zodiacs match-up in Swan Lake on Wednesday night, the approx. 100 people who braved the -27 C weather were kept on their toes throughout the first period which ended 3-1 in favor of the home team.   The next period saw a cluster of penalties by both teams which kept the goal scorers at bay, marking a more comfortable 5-1 lead after two.   However,  the game took a final turn in the third as the effect of playing their third game in three nights for the Zodiacs took its toll wrapping it up at 7-2.  Although a welcome W once again, Coach Darren cautions that the Mustangs have a tough stretch ahead.  The team will need to rest up and play a very disciplined game as they face Altona on Friday, January 20, 2012.

Well ... the January 13 game vs. GVC will go down in our memories as "the game that never ended" ... Although a 4-1 status after one, a 5-1 mid game mark and a 7-2 finish does not sound too bad ... most who were there would be quick to add that the 28 penalties plaqued the game and took any flow that might have been.  Mustangs were happy to mark a W in the books and hope for a better match when they meet GVC again in Swan Lake on January 18.

Mustangs pulled off another win last night in Swan Lake Arena where they took on the Morden Thunder. It was no cake walk. The boys had to battle to the very end for a 3-2 win. In the first 2 periods the Mustangs seemed to be scrambling, but got the job done. In the third it was like a whole different team. They came out calm and in control. They kept the puck in Morden's end majority of the time. Capitalized on their speed and passing.

Good Job Boys, Keep up the good work!

Wed the boys travelled to Morris to take on the Mavericks. It was a hard fought game, unfortunately the Mustangs couldn't stay out of the sin bin and the Mavericks capitalized on several power play goals to beat the Mustangs 5-4.  The Mustangs did their best with  2 shorthanded goals back to back.  You'll get them next time boys.

The Mustang's Home Opener took place in the Notre Dame Arena against the Pembina Tigers. As the final game of a day dedicated to Matt Vigier,  it began with the Vigier brothers dropping the puck at center ice. The first period saw both teams come out onto the ice with a lot of energy, and the score was a close 2-1 as the teams took their first break. The Mustangs showed a lot of endurance in the second after losing Captain Colin from the line up, wasting away Pembina's 5 on 3 advantage. They made a few really nice connections, and the second period ended with the Mustangs in the lead 7-2. The third period included a hard fought battle right to the end, with each team marking the scoreboard one more time before the final buzzer sounded. The final score was 8-3, and the game proved once again that the Mustangs are a hard working team who stick up for each other.

Friday October 28th

  The Mustangs traveled to Winkler for their first league game of the year on Friday, October 28th, 2011. There they were met by a team who was every bit their rival and after the first period, the score remained 0-0. Both teams came out in the second period with a lot of speed; the Zodiacs answered the first Mustangs goals with one goal of their own. However, the Mustangs could not be contained; 5-2 lit up the scoreboard at the end of the second period. The Mustangs came with energy and worked as a team; they were not to be tamed. In the third period, 6 more unanswered goals saw the back of the Zodiac's net before the final whistle blew. The final score was 11-2 for the Mustangs.
