Well… the title pretty much says it all. Those of you who weren’t there, you missed something preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeety spectacular. CN Power was out in their finest form, knocking the Vixens around all over the track and skating circles around them (literally!). By 5 minutes into the bout, CN Power had already managed to pull ahead 24-2.

That didn’t seem like a big enough lead to Landshark, who on her next Jam skated through the pack 4 times for a total of 15 points! Not to be outdone, Defecaitlin followed up in the next jam for another whopping 15 points! WOW!

The insane racking up of points continued, and by the half CN Power was ahead 108-20. CN Power fans were going crazy, but I think the ones supporting the Vixens were pretty stunned.

While the teams chugged water and discussed strategy for the second half, the rockin’ tones of Ginger St James & The Grinders filled the Hangar with dancing fans – I saw your foot bopping, don’t try to hide it!

After 20 minutes of awesome music, merch, pizza, and beer buying, fans ran back to their seats to see what would happen in the conclusion of the bout. With a sharp whistle blow, they were off!

CN Power didn’t relent – they just kept givin’er to the Rideau Valley Vixens. There was a tense moment when Landshark barrel rolled over Mega Bouche, but she somehow made it look graceful.

Down to the wire and clearly striving to hit 200 points, the final jam ended with a successful Passing the Star play (see 25:07 in part 2 of the video) as Landshark and Mach Wheels teamed up to rack the points up to 200. Unfortunately, the Jam clock ran out before she could make it around a second time to score the elusive 1 more point. Le Sigh!

Regardless, a great game played by all!! Thanks to RVV, their refs and their fans for coming to our humble home to challenge us! Better luck next time?
