JACKSONVILLE, Fla – The Jacksonville Icemen kicked off their Military Appreciation weekend against the Atlanta Gladiators on Friday night. The Gladiators shutout the Icemen with a 3-0 victory.
Atlanta’s netminders Joe Murdaca and David Tendeck, shared the shutout, with Tendeck stepping in for the third period. Murdaca made 29 saves in periods one and two, and Tendeck made six in period three. Even though Jacksonville dominated the play and outshot Atlanta 35-20, they were just unable to find the back of the net. Michal Mrazik put Atlanta on the board in the first period. A last ditch effort by Jacksonville in the closing minutes of the game to try and even things up, resulted in two empty-net goals by Atlanta’s Sang Hoon Shin and Cody Sylvester.
