Monday night saw the 2nd game against the Legion in the Winter Cup and a must win for the Statesmen to finish off the bottom. The Statesmen knew the Legion would be up for it and with some bad ice the game wasn't exactly going to be a classic from the get go, but all credit to the Legion for not giving us the time or space and clogging up the middle to prevent a lot of scoring chances. The Legion took the lead in the 1st period and with Ben Durcan stealing the show and playing a blinder kept the Statsmen in the game, the Legion added another in the 2nd, this forced us to change up the lines on the PP which really changed the game with the Statesmen pegging 1 back to 2-1, and bought the Statesmen back in the game. 2-1 down going into the thrid saw crazy J get his 2nd of the night and continue his impressive form against the Legion and with Marcus Cast continuing in form with 3 helpers, James Wood added to the total for the Statesmen to go 3-2 up.
A last gasp effort from the Legion with their netminder pulled fell right into the hands of Bob Hedley as he slotted the empty net goal from centre ice and seal the game 4-2. MOTM a very well deserved Ben Durcan.
