Saturday night saw the return of the Denver Dynamite in Edwards. In a match of streaks, the Dynamite started out with a 3-0 lead, only for the Freedom to score 4 straight to take a 4-3 lead. The teams then traded goals until the halftime break, where they were tied 5-5. Mike Ogletree was the star of the first half and the game, with 4 first half goals. The Dynamite would then score 3 straight goals in the third quarter to take an 8-5 lead. The teams traded goals the rest of the way and the Dynamite would win, 10-7.
At the same time the Colorado Blizzard made a statement that they are still the team to beat, turning in a dominating performance in Ft. Collins, beating the Fury 10-2.
Sunday night the road weary Dynamite would travel to Ft. Collins, and the Fury came out guns blazing, looking to prove that Saturday night was a fluke. They certainly looked the more motivated of the two squads, dominating the first half and taking a 5-0 lead into the break. The second half would see the Dynamite offense start to pick things up, aided by a number of power plays, but it wasn't enough as the Fury prevailed, 7-3.
After two weeks, the standings look like this:
| Rocky Mountain Division | GP | W | L | T | Pts | |||||||||
| Ft. Collins Fury | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | The Fury have the most wins, but only one home game remaining in the regular season. | ||||||||
| Colorado Blizzard | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | The Blizzard look like the team to beat after an impressive 10-2 victory in Ft. Collins. | ||||||||
| Denver Dynamite | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | After splitting two road games the Dynamite await the Blizzard on Jan. 6th... | ||||||||
| Edwards Freedom | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | A quality squad, but this is shaping up to be a tough division! | ||||||||
