6th Annual Sled Hockey Game at Lasker Rink
The United Spinal Rangers and Islanders sled hockey teams faced off in an exciting match-up at Lasker Rink in Central Park, New York on Saturday, March 31. This marked the sixth meeting between the teams and their second time playing at Lasker.
Unfortunately there could only be one winner in this tightly contested battle to claim the United Spinal sled hockey crown. This year the Rangers squeezed out a 4-3 victory, but both teams displayed some serious sled hockey. Rangers rookie goaltender Andrew Schwartz had a busy day in the net fending off the Islanders and denying them on two breakaways.
