Men's Hockey By Rod Mawhood

Badgers Men's Hockey doubled up by Waterloo

Box Score The Brock Badgers men's hockey team (9-13-2) playoff fate is in their own hands.  With three games left in the regular season, the Badgers currently hold down sixth place in the OUA West Division, but they're only four points up on tenth place Lakehead.

The top eight teams qualify for the postseason.

Friday night at the Seymour-Hannah Centre Brock dropped its fifth straight game, losing 4-2 to the Waterloo Warriors (16-6-2).

Kaine Geldart scored both goals for the Badgers.  The fifth year forward knows the clock is ticking on his University, and most likely competitive hockey, career.

"You look at the schedule, and I might only have three or four games left here," said the 25-year old Geldart whose twin brother Anthony plays defence for Brock.  "I've got to try and do my best.  This is the end of the line for a lot of guys in that (dressing) room. 

Badgers head coach Murray Nystrom was happy that Geldart was able to find the scoresheet, but also knows defensive breakdowns costs his team two very valuable points.
"It was great to see Kaine breakout and contribute offensively. I know that's been weighing on him quite a bit," Nystrom said. 

"It's down to the wire now, its playoff style hockey, and we made a couple of errors that cost us.  Give Waterloo credit, they capitalized on it.  We'll get ready for a Laurier team (Saturday night) and turn the page on tonight."

After their game at Laurier on Saturday, the Badgers host Toronto next Friday before visiting Windsor to close out the regular season. 

"We've got to find a few points and just get in (playoffs).  Once we get in anything can happen after that," added Geldart.

Next Friday's contest at home is the 'Do It For Doczy' game sponsored by Front Row Sports, and in support of Brock defenceman Milan Doczy who is battling cancer.  For more information, or to donate, visit milandoczy.com
