Kelowna came into town as the only undefeated team in the KILHL... they left town the same way, but barely.
The Chiefs got up 2-0, the Riders tied the game in the second, but in the third Kelowna’s Isaac Dutka scored the game winner early in the period and they picked up the win.
One of Kelowna’s goals was scored on goalie miss-cue but make no mistake they are a good mobile team who can score, they average 4.43 goals a game, Fernie 3.60, Kimberley 4
Fernie had 3 penalties Kelowna 4... but Fernie’s PIM were in the third and cost the team six minutes while down a goal and they were outshot 11-4. In other words Kelowna didn’t have to hang on to their 3-2 lead
Braeden Mitchell got the win in net and Ethan Fitzgerald took the loss in the FG net.
Notes
Brody Bauder scored his first FG goal, Kelowna is 7-0 now and head into Kimberley tonight (Saturday Oct 12) Fernie goes to Golden and it is a scheduled Drive 99.1 radio broadcast game. 700 fans at the game Friday
The Riders missed a chance to gain on the Nitro’s because....
Kimberley lost 5-3 to Castlegar, they also lost to Princeton a few games ago... maybe they don’t take the weaker teams seriously... or, as I believe, the league is weaker this year and several teams have a chance to win including the usual seller dweller North Okanagan Knights who with 17 points lead the KI now... but not all teams have played an equal amount of games... can you hear me Fernie fans.
The Rockies also lost 5-2 in Beaver Valley, they have 16 points. Creston and Golden did not play. Tonight the Rockies are in Castlegar and Spokane is in Creston.
