Riders get 5 of six points on the weekend

The Ghostriders picked up 5 of a possible 6 points on their long three game road trip.

They lost 4-3 in OT in Chase (A point  on the road is always good)
They won 4-1 in 100 Mile
And won 5-2 in Kamloops 

The on line game sheets are notorious for being wrong and changed the next day... anyway here’s what we can only guess happened in the last three games.

Good team effort with nine different Riders in on the 13 goals


Dylan Defosse “C” had two goals and five points.

The Rider D were in on half of the goals 

New rookie Andrew Bonham scored his first goal last week vs Princeton then scored in Chase and 100 Mile, but was shutout in Kamloops

D man Aaron Hladiuk got his first goal and 6th point in Kamloops, he will get lots more IMO

Rookie Dylan Nevil had a goal (GW)  and an assist in Kamloops

Aiden Gleisner scored two and had an assist on the trip

Brody Bauder scored his first of the season in Kamloops

New D Mike Holowatuk who has been around for a while but was injured played all three games and had two assists.

Seamus Keith missed the Kamloops game because of a suspension he got late in the 100 Mile game when Wrangler cowboy Kyler Opp got five for charging. We assume he was defending himself or sticking up for a teammate.. but we have no way of knowing that for sure.

Jordan Kromm and Gavin Lawrie have played 104 regular season KIJHL games. 100 seems to be a thing lately on Twitter

Goalies Ethan Fitzgerald played in Chase and Kamloops and Chance Griffith played in 100.

100 Mile is coached by a former Rider coach Dale Hladun, or Duner. Dale was in the paper last week demanding more from his goalies or else he was bringing in someone else. They are hosting the Cyclone Taylor Cup in the spring so he has to be panicked after losing 7-3 to Creston, 6-0 to Kamloops and 4-1 to the Riders in their last three games.

The Riders are now +7 and in second place with 12 points, 2 behind Kimberley who didn’t play Golden Saturday because their arena was closed. They have the old style ammonia chiller sooo

Creston and Golden have 11 the Rockies 4

The Riders won in Kamloops, it was their third game in a row and the Storm had Saturday night off. They are for real.
