Creston is currently in first place tied with Kimberley and both teams are 4-0. Fernie and the Rockies both have 1-2 records.
Judging by what I saw Saturday I don’t see Creston staying in first... but it sure looks like they have taken a nice step up from missing the playoffs last year.
A pretty good job by HC and GM Nick Redding, especially on the Tyler Witzke trade. It gave Creston basically four players for this year and Witzke (and Fernie) a chance to win a round in the playoffs, something the locals needed to see.
Creston won 5-3 in Invermere Friday night and had no penalties. That never f’n happens... was HC Redding happy or sad, a case could me made for either.
For most of the Creston game the Riders had a large territorial and shot advantage (52-29) but CVT scored on two of their three PP chances, and scored a couple of weak goals. So Rider fans shouldn’t panic, some of the new recruits look like they can play.
Something I hate, because most teams need every edge they can get... when a player is going for a line change and is 30 or so feet away from the bench and is slowly skating back he makes his team shorthanded for a few seconds, you gotta at least sip the cool-aid...no matter how good you are, and he’s good.
Because of the schedule the Revelstoke Grizzlies who won everything last year played their first game Saturday, they beat the once mighty Osoyoos Coyotes 11-1. I fought the Law and the Law Won, an old song.... never mind
Creston is good and Golden has a 3-1 record so far, is this finally the year 4 of 5 Eddie Mt teams don’t get the we have made the playoffs Christmas present...
Amusing to see Derek Green chirping his former fans, I think he won the exchange
Back in 1997 former Ghostrider Andrew Guest took the referee course and did several games when he was here in Fernie. After his playing days were over he went on to the BCHL and had a pretty good career as a ref... any players getting any ideas
