Invicta Dynamos go down to ENIHL South Division 1 leaders Chelmsford Chieftains
Comments |
Invicta Dynamos' three-game winning streak in the ENIHL South
Division 1 came to an end at leaders Chelmsford Chieftains on
Sunday.
Dynamos suffered their third league defeat of the season at the
hands of the Essex club, who powered to a 4-1 victory with some
excellent hockey on their home rink.
Invicta fell behind after 10 minutes when Ross Brears forced the
puck past Andy Moffat while the Chieftains were enjoying the extra
man advantage as Corey Watkins sat out a minor penalty.
Just over a minute later Dynamos fell 2-0 behind when Alex Green
blasted home from distance while Callum Fowler (pictured) was in
the penalty box.
Dynamos' problems increased just past the halfway mark when Tom
Long made it 3-0, but Invicta did pull one back through Fowler who
took advantage of a rebound off the backboards that fell straight
to his stick in front of goal.
The Chieftains, however, then wrapped up an emphatic victory
when Slovak Jakub Klima smashed home his 23rd goal of the
season.
Meanwhile, Jack Robinson, formerly of the Milton Keynes Thunder,
has been handed a five-year ban by the English Ice Hockey
Association after being ejected from the Thunder's 10-4 defeat by
Dynamos on November 19 for spearing Alistair Band in the face and
causing the Dynamos' defenceman to suffer a dislocated jaw.
The Thunder have cancelled Robinson's registration and Invicta
director Jackie Mason said: “We are pleased that the EIHA have
acted so promptly and dealt harshly with what could have been a
very serious injury.
"We would like to thank both the sport’s governing body and Jack
Robinson’s former club, the Milton Keynes Thunder, for their
support in resolving the situation and look forward to putting the
incident behind us.”
