Next Home Game: Next Weekend!
Saturday, March 14 vs. Madison Blues
8:20PM at Glacier Ice Arena


West Bend BombersWest Bend Bombs Capitals

A short bench (only 12 skaters dressed for Vernon Hills), a hostile standing-room-only crowd, and a potent West Bend offense led by the league's second leading scorer, Scott Holtz, translated into 65 shots against Capitals goalies Doug Bair and Terry Kasdan Friday night at Kettle Moraine Ice Arena in West Bend, Wisconsin. Remarkably, Bair stopped 22 of 24 shots in the first period alone, and four straight goals by the Capitals in the second period – including two within 28 seconds by John Burton – briefly gave Vernon Hills a 4-3 lead halfway into the game. But West Bend's attack was too strong, and the Caps eventually succumbed to the Bombers in a high-scoring affair 11-5. Kasdan stopped 20 of 23 West Bend shots he faced in the third period, while CJ Koroll (two goals) and Aaron Schwartz also scored for Vernon Hills in the team's final road game of the season.
