The last time Lutz played goalie may have been 30 years ago, but you could not tell one bit!!
It may have been a gloomy, rainy Sunday afternoon, but the Eagles did not let that stop them as they had a victory over the Vikings 11-4!!
This was a game of SLAP SHOTS!
It was newcomer Jeff Roberts who started the Eagles on their victory march with a slapper in the top right shelf. The Vikings did manage to slip one in to tie it up; however, the Eagles were not going to let the game be tied for long. It was amazing teamwork as Josh Krape had a slapper at the point that bounced off Jeff Robert's chest and went in!
Josh Krape followed with a beautiful slapper at the point that landed in the top right shelf.
Mike Altigieri launched a slap shot from point that the goalie was able to stop. However, Tom Holmen grabbed the rebound and found bottom left corner of the net.

Mike Kwain was definitely the MVP of the game as he took shots from everywhere and stood up to the challenge!

The Eagles took on the Blue Devils this past Saturday at Bob's in Mannheim! It was an incredible action packed game that kept both players and fans on their feet!

It was action packed as the puck went down from one end to the other and back again. The Eagles held them off, but the Devils manage to slip one in, tying the game 1-1.

May the "fourth" be with the Longhorn II as the Eagles Inline team skated out strong with a 10-6 win for their first game!!!
The Eagles have had 2 practices before this game, but it was hard to tell watching them as they played quite fluidly! Bob's was a big change in pace for them compared to the concrete floor they have been practicing at Josh Krape's work. However, watching them play on Saturday we saw 11 players come together and work as a great team!
Tom Holmen took a shot that was tipped by a player allowing Brandyn Shelly to get the puck rolling into the net within the first minute of the game! Four minutes later at 4:23, Shelly scored again.
After another four minutes passed, Todd Lutz had a very impressive goal that trickled through t ...Read More

Justin Bunton launching the puck out to Tom Holmen.
The Eagles had an amazing opportunity to have one last day of some good ole' ice hockey at this year's DPL 3-on-3 Tournament in Viernheim Eishalle.
For this tournament, the ice is split into three sections and there are two games played consecutively in the two far zones. All the players hang out and drink beer in the center zone. The games are played width wise with goalies on each end.
We sent 1 team this year consisting of: Justin Bunton, Tim Duffy, Eric Helgeson, Tom Holmen, Joshua Krape, Brandyn Shelly, the acquired dangler Jake Howell, and Chris Wurst. The Eagles came out strong and held 1st place in their group until the very end of r ...Read More
