In his first game as head coach, George Avery led team Chaos to a 7-3 win over team Biohazard (whose play reflected on their name). The usually reserved Avery, not known for his affinity for the limelight, took to this position of leadership naturally, quickly commanding the attention of his team and the officials. Avery’s coaching strategy, much like his playing style, seemed to be geared towards offense and scoring with little attention to the defensive side of the game. Defenseman Scott Richter was given a new nickname by Coach Avery, titled “Ghostrider” as he left his wingman, Steve Richter (“Maverick”) defending the blue line while Scott tried several times to put the puck through the goalie. The strategy was clearly successful as the team, taking a cue from forward Jamie Stephenson and defenseman Jason Venters, turned on the scoring power.

Once again, forward Daniel Dye had several opportunities to bury the puck in the net, but chose to hit every inch of the posts instead of accepting the glory of the goal. The Chaos now look forward to their first Sunday night game on October 1, 2006 at 8:45.
