Selects win CASHA Winter Classic

Bothwell, CA- The Bothwell Selects defeated the Los Angeles Gophers in game 7 triple overtime to capture the CASHA cup last Friday. Timur Katsnelson was the hero in game 7 scoring a beautiful goal late in the overtime period. The Selects started the tournament hot and found themselves having a 3-0 lead in the series. However, the Gophers were not going to go down without a fight as Jonathan Johnson and his squad came back soaring and sent the series to a decisive game 7. With rain making it a CASHA Winter Classic, it added to the dramatic, intense matchup. At the end of three periods, the score was 4-4 and the teams were gearing themselves up for overtime. With both teams getting chances at each end of the court, it was Bothwell captain, Timur Katsnelson, who sent the Gophers home and scored the overtime winning goal.

Anzai to stay in Bothwell

Bothwell, CA- The decision was made on a sunny, Monday afternoon on Bothwell. Just a day after the Selects won CASHA, General Manager Ruslan Katsnelson has decided to keep Sam Anzai on Bothwell. "We need him. Sam is a great hockey player, and he is just what we need to become a better team." Said GM Katsnelson. In less than a month, Selects assistant captain Alex Cathcart will return from Omaha. "We will keep 4 players and a goalie on Bothwell, we will make line changes during a game, which will benefit us because we wont get tired and we wont make as many mistakes with another substitute" said Katsnelson during a press conference. The Selects are waiting for Cathcart's return, as he is a big part to the Bothwell organization.

Selects win CASHA!

Oak Park, CA- The Bothwell Selects are your new defending CASHA champions! The Selects swept the Los Angeles Gophers in a best of seven series. Game 1 ended in a final score of 6-0, hat tricks to both the Katsnelson brothers. Game two was one to remember for rookie Sam Anzai as he set a Selects record for most goals in a single game with seven! Final score in game 2 was 7-2. The Gophers fought back in game 3 sending it to OT, but it was Timur Katsnelson who put it home and gave the Selects a 3-0 series lead. Game 4, With the Gophers facing elimination, Los Angeles played well and took a 1-0 lead after the first. Bothwell picked up the pace and Sam Anzai put two by Gophers goaltender Hank Andrews. The Selects won Game 4 4-3. Sam Anzai had a great start to his CASHA career, and Timur Katsnelson just keeps getting harder to reach in the all-time point scoring race. It was a well deserved championship and the Selects will be back on the court soon.
