The Ghostriders went on the road for two games last weekend. They lost 6-2 in Kelowna then won 3-1 against the North Okanagan Knights.
Ghostrider Notebook
The Ghostriders scored two shorthanded goals last week. Nikolas Sombrowski had one in Kelowna and Jordan Kromm had one in Armstrong. Sombrowski and Kromm each have 2 short handed goals and David Lenzin, Kyle Ford, Dylan Defosse, Ethan Jang and Kory Zinck have 1...you can do the math...maybe
In Kelowna Dylan Defosse and Nikolas Sombrowski scored the goals Gregg Susinski had 2 assists and Riley Fonger was in net. Sombrowski’s goal was a no move fake that went right through their goalie... that hi light was all over Twitter the next morning, and thanks to Kelowna’s Justin McCartney you can See it here
In Armstrong Jordan Kromm scored two goals and Owen Titus scored the third goal on the power play, David Lenzin and Brendan Nemes had the assists and Riley Fonger was in net for the win, his fifth win on the season. HC Jeff Wagner
“ It was a hard fought game we had 70 hits”
After the weekend Jordan Kromm and David Lenzin lead the team in scoring with 16 points each, Kyle Ford has 15 and Greg Susinski leads the defence with 13 points. Kromm has the most goals with 8, has 3 game winners and is scoring at almost twice the pace he was last season when he had a .5 PPG average vs .9% so far this year.
Without a few top ten KIJHL scorers the Riders will need a total buy in and will have to score by the proverbial committee to win all the divisional games they are about to play in the next few weeks. The coaching staff are working on that team concept idea as we speak.
The Kelowna play by play guy commented on how the Riders never quit right to the end... one less thing to work on.
Coach Wagner tells me he’s really happy to have twenty year old David Lenzin on his team. "His professionalism off the ice and in the room is first class”.
Lenzin has also been a point a game player for the Ghost and when you have a veteran player like that helping lead all the younger guys in their first year away from home playing junior hockey that’s always a good thing.
Forward Kevin Duguid has joined the Riders, he played AAA Midget in Sherwood Park last year.
The Boston Pizza Player of the Month of October was team captain Keelan Saworski.
The Tim Horton’s Player of the Week is Jordan Kromm and the McDonald’s Practice Player was Owen Titus.
The only injury right now is Keelan Saworski. He is likely out for at least another week... he scored 26 goals last season, they need him back.
The I Can’t Standings
With an 8 point lead Kimberley is pulling away from the pack, and they just got BC’s first legal marijuana store...another recruiting advantage... damm rich keep gettin richer... meanwhile the Riders are in the middle of an Oreo cookie with the Rockies on top and the Rockets on the bottom... how will the Oreo look after this weekend's games... or will the Nitros just eat them. Put your hand up if you thought Creston would be fighting for their playoff lives you f’n liar... Has Jeremy Blumes brought Golden back from the 3 wins last year dead ? The Rockies started out on a tear and were even in first place for a while but have faltered lately, will the Dubewizard shuffle the deck, he still has lots of cards ... We’ll have the answers to all these stupid questions right hear in the coming weaks.
Friday's Game- In Sparwood
The Grand Forks Border Bruins are here for their one and only game this season. The Bruins tied Golden 6-6 last Friday and won 7-5 in Invermere last Saturday. Their new head coach this season is John Clewlow from Brampton Ontario. Clewlow replaces Emery Olausen who is now with the New Brunswick Aces in the Jr A maritime league.
On Saturday the Riders go to Creston and it is not a radio broadcast game, but it is a division one.
