While my comfort in photographing the sport increase substantially between game one and game three, unfortunately Windham’s end result did not. An overtime 8-7 loss to Winnacunnet was driven at least in part by an own goal that ruined an otherwise decent effort. More controlled passing and offense, some 40/60 or 30/70 breakdown of losses on faceoffs, and a marginally better effort on defense kept the game close. Just not quite enough to get over the hurdle for the year’s first win. Still think there is not nearly enough physical play by Windham. Only two penalties have been called on Windham in three games and the opportunity to take the body more (not stick work…body work) is warranted. Unfortunately I’ll be away for this Thursday and Saturday’s games but back photographing next week I hope.
