The Toronto Furies and Markham Thunder returned to the Mastercard Centre this afternoon. The play on the ice wasn’t significantly different from the night before, but the result was, as the Furies beat the Thunder 2-1.
Sonja van der Bliek seems to have won the starter’s role for the Furies, at least in the early going,. She drew in for the second time this weekend against Markham’s Liz Knox, who made her first start of the season.
Coach Jeff Flanagan changed some things up in this second meeting with the Thunder. Rookie forward Alessandra Bianchi and defender Jessica Platt eachplayed their first game of the season, subbing in for Cassidy Delainey and Sydney Kidd, respectively.
