Bender Hockey · Post-Game Report

Freeman and Ports Petroleum squared off at Alice Nobile Ice Arena on Sunday, November 1, 2026, and the evening saw Freeman come out on top 4–1. Chad Mingay drew first blood for Freeman in the 1st period, setting the tone for a lively night of scoring.

Period by period: Freeman took the 1st period by a 2–0 count; Freeman took the 2nd period by a 2–1 count; the 3rd period was scoreless, much to the delight of both goaltenders. At one point Freeman rattled off 3 unanswered goals, a run that had the opposing bench staring at their skates.

On the scoresheet, Ben Mahas (1G, 1A), Andy Mingay (0G, 2A) chipped in multi-point nights. The rest of the roster contributed moral support and timely line changes.

Elsewhere: Andrew Arnold gets the game-winner credited to their name, courtesy of the 1st period; shots finished Freeman 26, Ports Petroleum 25 — the Ports Petroleum netminder was the busier of the two; Freeman made themselves a little too familiar with the penalty box (1–0).
