Bison sting Bees for fourth win in a row

10:55pm Saturday 7th January 2012 in Ice Hockey By Graham Merry

THE BASINGSTOKE Bison extended their winning streak to four games after a 7-4 success over the visiting Bracknell Bees on Saturday night.

The home side took the lead from former Bee Craig Tribe and then Steve Moria doubled the advantage.

A Bracknell powerplay strike from James Galazzi kept the visitors in touch as the first period ended.

A mad 53 seconds in the middle session saw three goals scored.

Lukas Smital got the first to make it 2-2, only for Moria to edge the Herd in front again, before Martin Masa tied the game again.

A second goal from Tribe gave the Bison a 4-3 lead at the second buzzer.

They then made sure of the win thanks to a brace of powerplay goals from Joe Miller.

The visitors scored a fourth with a late powerplay strike from Rob Lamey, but the Miller’s hat-trick marker shorthanded completed the scoring.
