The OKC Barons held tryouts for the Ice Girls for the 2011-12 season on Saturday, August 20th. Twenty-two girls attended the tryouts. This event was quite different for me but it was interesting to watch. All of the attendees are quite talented. The judges should have a difficult time deciding who will make the team. Below are a few photos from the event.
The day started with the girls checking in and filling out paperwork.
On Saturday, October 16 and Tuesday, October 19 the Oklahoma City Barons played the Lake Erie Monsters. The team started off slow on Saturday and found themselves down 3-0 early in the 2nd period. They took control of the game and came back to beat the Monsters 4-3.
That same level of play continued for the game against the Monsters on Tuesday. The Barons earned their first shutout in franchise history by beating Monsters 3-0 with Martin Gerber in net. The shutout earned Gerber the first star of the game honor.
Below are some photos from Saturday’s game.
The OKC Barons played their second game of opening weekend against the Chicago Wolves on Sunday October 10. While the Barons played much better they ended up losing the game 2-1. With the massive improvements from game 1 to game 2 it was obvious that this team would be much better once they had some practice time all together.
Here are some photos from the game against the Wolves.
