Room Service Denied: Gold as Ice Bronze Freezes Out the Lodge 4-2

It was check-out time for the Lodge on Wednesday, as Gold as Ice Bronze snapped their three-game skid with a gritty 4-2 victory, extending the Lodge's unfortunate slide to five games.

Tanner Bemies drew first blood for the Lodge early in the opening frame, burying an unassisted marker at 14:12 before the defense had even finished waking up. But Gold as Ice Bronze quickly melted the deficit. Mark DeSimone cleaned up a crisp setup from Thomas Dewey and Lance Levasseur at 6:56, and barely a minute later, Triston Wilson notched his first of the night off a dish from Dylan Dillard to claim a 2-1 lead.

After a scoreless second period where both squads apparently decided skating hard was overrated, the drama spiked in the third. Michael Randall leveled the score at 2-2 for the Lodge at 13:50, thanks to some slick passing from Jonathon Anderson and Jess Herd. With tensions mounting and adult responsibilities looming on Thursday morning, Gold as Ice found another gear. Dylan Calhoun snapped the tie with 5:26 left on an apple from Daniel Munson. Wilson then iced the cake with under four minutes remaining, finishing another sweet Levasseur feed for his second goal of the night, pushing his goal streak to a blistering five straight games. Shoutout to mystery man Adam Schuh between the pipes, who apparently played so stealthily he didn't even need a jersey number on the scoresheet.

Stars of the Game

🥇 Triston Wilson (Gold as Ice Bronze) – 2 goals, kept the 5-game scoring streak rolling, and served a minor just to keep things spicy.

🥈 Lance Levasseur (Gold as Ice Bronze) – 2 primary-grade apples, playing the role of ultimate playmaker.

🥉 Dylan Calhoun (Gold as Ice Bronze) – Scored the clutch game-winner late in the third.

Penalty Box Report

Triston Wilson took a two-minute vacation for Tripping in the second period, presumably just wanting a breather and some private time with the rink glass. In the third, Matthew Seddelmeyer of the Lodge took a two-minute seat for Interference, proving that good intentions and accidental traffic jams look identical to the referees.

Win or lose, remember the golden rule of beer league: nobody's scouting us, the ice is cold, but the post-game tailgate is always warm. Give 'em hell next week, boys.
