Final Score:........Glen Shields Sun Devils.........0......Toronto Olympians.....2.....
This was a hard fought game. Toronto Olympians didn't dominate as the linescores seem to indicate from their other games this year (this was the last team I hadn't seen play in the regular season this year). The goaltending on both teams was excellent.
Attendance was about 200 people. There were no ticket takers nor cash box so I'd assume admission was free tonight, maybe all year..
