McCoy Bidewell, remember that name .
The Riders won both games last weekend 1-0 at home vs Kimberley in a shootout and 3-2 on the road vs Columbia Valley also in a shootout .
Bidewell stopped all 41 shots and 3 shootout attempts vs Kimberley and 50 of 52 shots and all 3 shootout attempts vs the Rockies... he was the star of the weekend if you ask me... ya I know you didn’t .
Kolby Hennessy scored the lone shootout goal vs Kimberley’s Trystan Self .
Hennessy also scored the first goal vs the Rockies on the PP and Kort Kisenger scored shorthanded. In the shootout Ethan McDuff beat Tyson Gregory to get the Riders the extra point and that point got them ahead of Creston in the standings and brought them up to .500
In other news
The Kimberley game featured two fights at the same time, (just what the crowd expected in a FG-KD game)... sorry HockeyBC the fans still liked it.
Anyway, in this new “Suspend em all and let God sort it out" hockey world we live in that meant Rider head coach Ty Valin and Nitro head coach Derek Stuart each got a one game suspension and Fernie's Dayton Nelson got two . Other lucky winners were Nitro’s Matt Saretsky, and Adam Kennedy along with Conner Furukawa who got two for kneeing. The only suspension I agree with.
Notebook
Fernie’s 6’4” Brady Stange was called up to the Jr A La Ronge Ice Wolves and didn’t play the last two games. Him and 6’7” Cole Fisher were an intimidating dual on the blue line... Kort Kisenger and Ethan McDuff lead the Riders in points with 4 each ... Ty Moore with 24 and Kyle Klein 21 have the most PIM... McCoy Bidewell has a .947 save% Fernie locals Liam Samyica and Owen and Alexander Johnson got some ice on the weekend...Golden lost their first game last Saturday in Nelson by a 3-2 score...Kimberley lost their other weekend game, 7-2 to Beaver Valley
And finally Nelson head Coach Mario DiBella was suspended for harassing officials in Kimberley last week . Officials are hard to get in our area so the league should protect them . Actually we need them and can’t play without them . Kinda like the anti-vaxers harassing the doctors and nurses... someday they may really need em and probably can’t heal themselves without them
