Oct. 31 was a scary day for the offence of Radical Steel at the 2018 World Broomball Championships in Blaine, Minn.
In a game against a pair of Canadian squads, the team — featuring Corner Brookers Keith Simonds, Darren Simmonds, Rick Reid and my brother Dean Kean — couldn’t get on the board at all in 1-0 loses to Fat Les Selects, and Most Wanted, respectively.
That leaves them in seventh place out of eight teams in the masters black division standings with an 0-3-1 record.
Only Keith Simmonds has a point among the local players so far, assisting on the team’s lone goal of the tournament in a 2-1 loss on Tuesday.
Today, the club will face off against the Dingoes of Australia, the one team behind them in the standings, before battling HPQ Silicon of Canada, which currently stands in a tie for first place at 4-0-0, as the round robin continues.
