Second Season

VS.
After 18 regular season games, 9 exhibition matches, 99 practices, 48 off-ice workouts, and more then a few team meetings, the part of the season that really counts for something has arrived. The playoffs kick-off this weekend, and for the Asnieres Castors, it means hosting the Mulhouse Scorpions in the first round. Each round consists of a two-game total goals series where each team gets the opportunity to host a playoff game. Basically its like playing a six period hockey game spread out over two weekends.
Mulhouse represents a formidable opponent as they carry 9 import players including three Canadians. Our team is not easily intimidated however as we have been playing our best hockey of the year over the past few weeks and seem to be peaking at just the right time. The victory over Dunkerque last week certainly proved that we compete and beat teams at the top of the clasification. It's time for the playoffs!

Sorry to hear you still won't be playing but hope you are continuing to heal and heal quickly. Cheer Asnieres on - it's the start of a new season in the playoffs.
