Ghostriders are in Invermere Friday then home to Revy Saturday

The Riders are in Invermere Friday night and Rockies Coach Wade Dubielewicz says “I’m really excited about (our upcoming games because) we’re going to have two good tests: Fernie and Kimberley. The things we’ve been working on and continually getting better at are going to be put to the test against both of those teams.” Full Story by Breanne Massy Here

These teams have not played yet in the regular season and Invermere has played some good teams very close so far this season, so this should be a good one and fans from both teams can watch the game on the KIJHL website or listen to the game on The Drive 99.1 right here.
