On-loan keeper Smits had to to duck and dodge the projectiles that were tossed at him in Costa Rica 9 Apr 2015 “After Evan had finished warming up, it was time for me to go in and face the shooters,” recalled Smits, who was back in Edmonton on Thursday. “And, any time the ball went over the goal, the fans on that side weren’t trying to just toss the ball back; they were trying to hit me. They were throwing it as hard as they could. They were throwing objects at me.”
