KMC Eagles News

"NO cupcakes if we don't WIN!!" President Eric Helgeson told the Eagles before the 3rd period of the inline game today against the Blue Devils. Kim Sacchetti, Adam Sacchetti's wife, was sweet enough to bring cupcakes to the game today!

The Eagles used those cupcakes as motivation to win their last regular season game to secure their spot in the Playoffs. However, it was a nail biter of a game and had players and fans on the edge of their seats!! We have played the Blue Devils 3 other times this season and won the first game and lost the last game, so this was more than just making it into the playoffs, this game was to show who the boss was.

The Blue Devils came out fig ...Read More

It has been a few months since ice hockey ended and we just started back a couple weeks ago. Some of you may have been feeling the pain after the practice or even the next day! There is an easy solution to this and to help get into even better shape so you aren't stumbling off the ice after 20 seconds. Join us on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the Southside gym on Ramstein at 11:15-12:15 for spin class, taught by our very own Paulette Poynter!!

"Spin class can get you to increase your speed on ice, strengthen your legs, and improve your cardio." - Paulette

I personally took Paulette's class twice now and I can attest for the amazing cardio workout. Although I do not ...Read More

If it's in the 90's, you better win the game!

And that is what the Eagles Inline team did today against the Longhorns. This is the third time this season we have played the Longhorns. They were the first game of our season and we won 10-6, and the second game we tied them and Brock Gowie pulled through in over-time for a 5-4 win. It may have been in the 90's and they have only had 2 extra guys, in inline there are 5 players on the rink-a goalie, and 4 players. So needless to say, it was a hot and tiresome day for the 7 players but they did not allow that from stopping them as they stopped the Longhorns from winning with a 8-5 win!

It was Jim Linnehan ...Read More

Eagles participated this past weekend in the Zweibrücken Tournament and it was the first tournament of the 2013-2014 ice season. The Eagles switched it up this tournament by doing a draft instead of sending E1 and E2. A month before the tournament, a poll was set up on Facebook allowing all the players and fans to vote for who should be the 2 team captains.

The winner for Team Red was Tim Duffy and the winner for Team White was Tom Holmen. The players participating in the tournament met at one of our favorite hangout, De Belgian Bistro, the weekend before and our 2 captains selected their teams. In order to decide who would get to pick the first player, we went to something ...Read More

It was a nail biter of a game as the Eagles took on Bob's Snipers for the 2nd time this season. KMC did fall against the Snipers last time they met, so a victory over them today was even sweeter!

The Eagles started the game off scoring within the first 2 minutes of the game!! Eric Helgeson had a beautiful behind the net pass to Brock Gowie who surprised the goalie with an up close shot over the goalie's glove! The Sniper's did manage to slip one in, but it does keep the game interesting and the boys on their toes!

After a few line changes, it was time for Brock to get back on the rink and he had determination to get his 2nd goal of the game. Eric Helgeson saw a seam an ...Read More

Come join us for a GREAT time for a GREAT cause!

It may have been a gloomy, rainy Sunday afternoon, but KMC did not let that stop them as they had a victory over the Vikings 11-4!!

This was a game of SLAP SHOTS!

It was newcomer Jeff Roberts who started the Eagles on their victory march with a slapper in the top right shelf. The Vikings did manage to slip one in to tie it up; however, the Eagles were not going to let the game be tied for long. It was amazing teamwork as Josh Krape had a slapper at the point that bounced off Jeff Robert's chest and went in!

Josh Krape followed with a beautiful slapper at the point that landed in the top right shelf.

Mike Altigieri launched a slap shot from point that the ...Read More
