Long Beach Ice Dogs News Release


Last Weeks Highlights:

1/23/04 > Long Beach 3 vs. San Diego 4

The Ice Dogs seemed to outplay the Gulls Friday night, despite falling by a score of 4-3. San Diego jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but Long Beach stormed back to tie with goals by Ken Tasker and Dan Vandermeer. The Gulls managed two more quick goals in the second period just 1:22 apart that would prove to hold up, despite Trevor Read scoring just 13 seconds later. The Ice Dogs held San Diego to no shots in the third period and only 13 for the game.

1/24/04 > Long Beach 5 vs. Fresno 3

The Ice Dogs remained perfect on home ice against the Fresno Falcons this season, winning a convincing game 5-3. Emotions ran high as the teams combined for 133 penalty minutes and there were four game misconducts handed out. Nolan Graham (2g, 1a) and Mark Gouett (1g, 2a) each combined for three points, and T.J. Aceti made 25 saves to lead the Ice Dogs to their fourth win in six games. The Ice Dogs are now 3-3 on the year versus Fresno, with the home team winning each game in the series.
