In Fernie the Riders Ty Abbott was named as the Player of the Game after he scored shorthanded and picked up a pair of assists helping the Riders get their second win of the year under their belts... against the Nitehawks no less.
The Hawks had the Riders hemmed in their end for seemingly endless periods of time during the game and for about ten minutes at the start the third it was really one sided... until Jace Woodley tipped in a beauty that gave the young Riders a 6-3 lead. After that the Riders more or less had equal territory and were able to finish out the game with a W.
Broc Merkl was really good in net and got his first win as a Ghostrider. You could make the argument that he could have been named as the POG as well.
Grayson Neufeld scored the Riders first goal and had an assist and Keelan Saworski also had a goal and an assist.
Kevin Pierce scored his first of the season with a big shot from the point area.
Ethan Jang caught a goalie out for a stroll in the second and picked up his 2nd on the season.
The shots were 44-31 BV
PP's FG 1-4 BV 1-6
Both teams scored shorthanded. Abbott and BV's Fuller (2G)
A few big hits, Derek Green certainly surprised a couple of guys.
Overall, the Riders got a couple of lucky goals but BV scored one that Merkl actually caught according to the players and the animated goal judge...
521 at the game, nice crowd considering the boys have another home game Saturday.
