The Dawgs travelled to Fresno, CA to play 4 games against California based club teams. Tahoe played well considering the low number of subs present for the games on the first day. The only loss the Dawgs suffered was against a team from Chico that jumped out to a 4 goal lead early and then ran away (literally) to a 7-1 final. The Dawgs handled the remainder of their opponents without much trouble. Check out the 2009 Schedule for details.

In typical Dawgs fashion the team rounded out the last day in the consolation bracket against OG (Old Gaels, CA). As usual, it was a game filled with soreness and hangovers and this year did not disappoint as the Dawgs pulled out a 10-4 victory (this has been the same result for at least 3 years running on the last day of the tournament). Once again the Dawgs finished the Tahoe Tourney at 1-3 with an overall 3-4 record against out-of-state opponents for the summer of 2008.

Just after noon on Saturday the Dawgs faced NW Nirvana (CA) and lost 8-5 in a close battle against some young, fast college kids. Unaware that this is BUSH LEAGUE, NW Nirvana actually had a coach and ran drills before the game... perhaps they will know better for next year!?!
The next game of the day was a rematch between the Dawgs and the PA Ducks. The Dawgs had bested PA by one goal a few weeks earlier, but the Dawgs team looked much different for the game today. Both teams played well with PA scraping together a few unanswered goals in the second half. The final score was 9-6 in the Ducks favor, leaving the 2008 contests between the two clubs tied 1-1.

The Dawgs opened up their 2008 tournament against Bigfoot (OR) for the second year in a row. The game started out well with both teams scoring early. The halftime score was 6-3 in Bigfoot's favor. The second half did not treat the Dawgs well. The team could not possess on offense and the team defense was beat repeatedly by fast, accurate Bigfoot passing. The final score was 12-4 in favor of Bigfoot.

The Dawgs grouped up at an unprecedented 6 am to travel to a pre-Tahoe mini tournament hosted this past weekend in Palo Alto, CA. The one day "warm-up" tournament was graciously hosted by the Palo Alto Ducks at Greer Park. The weather was warm with some humidity, and the playing surface was grass, a good change from the rubber "in-fill" turf the Dawgs usually play on. The first game started at 11 am after a few morning beers and pitted the Dawgs against Central California, a club representing the Fresno area. The Dawgs came away with an 11-4 victory in their first game outside of Incline Village, NV in years.
In their second game of the day the Dawgs faced Streets of London (SOL) out of the Sacramento area. The game was hard fought and the scoring went back and forth until SOL pulled away at the end of the second half. The Dawgs had a difficult time controlling faceoffs vs. SOL leaving goalie John Brusoe with more close range, one on one shots than anyone would care for. The final score was 12-14 in SOL's favor.
Before the libations and grub the Dawgs faced the tournament hosts, the Palo Alto Ducks. This was another hard fought game that went back and forth through both halves. The Dawgs possessed well near the end of the game to hang on for a one goal, 10-9 victory.
Overall, the Dawgs played well with the ~17 members of the team who had been practicing together since May. Thanks to the PA Ducks for the tourney, beers and food and to all the others involved...
