Captain Dylan Defosse had a 5 point night in Spokane and 9 points on the three game weekend.
Gavin Lawrie is on a 9 game point streak, 15 pt’s in November. Aiden Gleisner is at 6 games Johnny Elias 5
But as usual in this league those points could get changed a bit on Monday when the coaches of the league get out their chisels.
F/D man Owen Titus scored in Spokane but the Riders Twitter says he had 2 goals... you just can’t depend on the online game sheets.
Congratulations to Jordan Kromm, he has 5 goals in his last four games and has signed up along with Greg Susinski to play at a college next season.
A couple of weeks ago #8 Seamus Keith head butted a Nelson player and the Leafs scored a PP G in OT to win that game. In a rematch last Thursday Keith dug out a puck from the Nelson goalie and fed Elias for the game winning goal late in the third. Redemption...I like the wild card in the lineup, plus he’s a player.
The Riders brought in goalie Jaden Little last week, he stopped 49 of 53 shots in Castlegar for his first win. Now they have to make a decision, move the 8-3 Chance Griffith or 5-6 Ethan Fitzgerald this will be interesting for a couple of different reasons....
All teams have to get down to a total of 25 players and cards on December 1st. Most GM’s go to 21 or 22 players so they have room in case a good player shows up at their door.
According the the FG web page Fernie has 24 players... sooo
The Riders tried to move Derek Unerberger and Kole Fujita to Campbell River last week but they wouldn’t report... the River needs bodies, they have whole host of injuries including broken legs, fingers a few concussions etc ... hitting is alive and well in that league. For the record the River is a perennially very good team, are a recent Cyclone winner and have a fan base like Fernie.
If a player wants to stay closer to home, especially at this time of year when you are going to get released in a few days anyway. Don’t go ! After all BC Hockey and Hockey Canada want you to have positive experiences, that’s why, at the next level they allow CJHL teams to trade players clear across the country and if they don’t go they suspend em for 30 days.
Do the teams keep track of concussions, does the league...
Last season before the fine system we had several coaches from different leagues complain about the head hits, this year the leagues and BC Hockey have been very successful at silencing them.
Anyway in the Nelson home game last Thursday Mike Holowatuk was on the receiving end of a hit to the head from Jaden Shumulak and he left the game and didn’t play all weekend. It was clearly a 5min major but was called as 2...
Head hits are cumulative and are starting to show up on the limited KIJHL discipline page. CTH = check to the head
Anyway the Rider players had a great weekend and have now won 5 in a row and have taken over second place.
Kimberley has kept pace and are on a 6 game win streak, they won their last game 4-0 vs Creston, KI top gun Brock Palmer had 3G1A and Piva his line mate had 3A
December will be an interesting month for the Fernie Kimbo rivalries that are not nearly as hot as they used to be but the games are better than the usual ones and there’s always the possibility of fireworks.
In other news Osoyoos coach Dean Maynard and the Coyotes have parted read that here
First place Kelowna lost 6-3 to Summerland Friday then won 4-1 vs Grand Forks Saturday.... someone laid down the Law Saturday...
