(PERNS) – The GRHL Playoffs started yesterday and Team HRV picked up where they left off in the regular season…in winning form. They took the first game of their round robin match against the Blackhawks 6-3.
“The game was intense and as far as I’m concerned this looks as if it will be the championship match-up on Sunday”, said HRV forward Davo Stipancic.
Davo added, “Both teams certainly do not like each other. It will be an all out war Sunday with them if they end up in the finals. I strongly recommend the HRV faithful come and support – you don’t want to miss some good old hockey”.
HRV also won its second game of the day convincingly over the Fanatics. The 12-3 final ensured the Croats a spot in Sunday’s final against either the Blackhawks or Fanatics.
The HRV played a meaningless game this morning at 9 a.m. against the Predators. The Championship goes later this afternoon at 4:30 p.m.
Fans are more than welcome to support their only Croatian hockey team here from Hamilton, at the Peach King Center on Livingston Road in Grimsby. See ya at the rink.
