Team History
2008-2009, Winter : The Year Of Victory (Singular)
The first Bladezillas season, winter 2008-2009, was one of constant change; as Bz was just getting organized and had no core group of players the roster had 28 players registered to play by the end of the season, many of which only spared for single games or were called up at the last minute.
The Bz record for this season was 1-30-01 (.053) in 32 games, the single victory coming against the Surrey Royales on December 11 2008. The final score was 7-6, with Mike Byun getting the game winning goal at 08"15 in the 3rd period. This game is notable for 2 reasons: first, the opposing goalie was drunk and was kicked out by the ref in the 3rd period. This made them harder to play against. Finally, Mike Byun's game winning goal was a slap shot on the defender (who was in net) who took great offence at the effort.
While no official numbers have been released, Dewey Booth lost a great deal of money in the first year keeping the team afloat.
