There’s an argument to be made that half a rink is better than none at all. That’s the line Fylers spokesman Pierre Reedy took after league referees ruled the southern end of the Tilles complex was ‘unfit for play.” Reedy quipped, “We’re a glass half full kind of organization and we made do with what we had.”

Among the skaters was veteran goalie Dave Bain in his first start outside of the net. The change suited him as he notched his first league goal in the third game and followed with his second not long after.
