The Ghostriders earned three of a possible four points last weekend. They lost 6-5 in overtime to the first place Rockies Thursday then won 2-1 in Kimberley on Saturday... don’t look in the rear view mirror Kimbo
Game report from the Rockies game
Notes from the off side
Kort Kisinger scored 2 goals and had 3 assists against the Rockies and had an assist in Kimberley, he leads the team in scoring with 23 points.
Dayton Nelson scored two against the Rockies and one in Kimberley... he is on an eight game goal scoring streak with 10 goals and 2 assists... and on a team that doesn’t score much this is important ... and on the test.
The good...
Fernie is a very low scoring team but blasted in 5 on Thursday...
The bad...
They let in 6 went 0-7 on the power play, allowed 3 PP goals against and CVR's top scorer Colby Phillips had 2 goals and an assist.
The Ugly...
Ethan MacDuff was injured Thursday when he was viciously boarded in the first period... even with the new lights the referee didn’t see it. MacDuff was staggering after the hit and did not play the rest of the game or in Kimberley. Admittedly MacDuff put himself in a bad position but come on 26 used the boards to his advantage and when you stagger it’s a brain injury... they said it wasn’t when I was young, can you tell...
It seems odd but D man Scott Sinclair scored his first goal vs the Rockies... he eats up lots of minutes has 7 assists and is pretty good at getting the puck out
Lots of kids in the old Zoo Thursday chirpin the Rockies players... could the real “Zoo” ever happen again... it was a complete gong show some nights
Jake Oviatt (Mitchell) scored the game winner in Kimberley, it was his second goal this season.
Dylan Lacroix was the first star in Kimberley... he was a beast in the third when the game was on the line and the shots were 9-1 KD
FYI Former Ghostrider Taylor Sincennes (pronounced Sincennes) is the Rockies assistant coach.
Tanner Chapman was moved to the second place Chase Heat last week, he scored a game tying goal against first place Kamloops Saturday and the Heat won 2-1 in a SO
The first place overall Osoyoos Coyotes beat their enemies from Summerland Saturday 6-5 and went 4-4 on the PP... you can’t even revenge cheap shot these guys or they kill you with their PP... I bet they would like to play the top teams on the east side of the league just to find out how they would match up in the KIJHL finals...
Anyone can win... be ready
The last place Rockets went into Invermere Saturday and surprised the first place Rockies 4-2, both Rockies’ goals were PPG, Liam Furlong got the GW
And finally... Glass And Out means if you’re in trouble in your own end you bing the puck off the glass and get it out... but during the Christmas week and especially New Year’s Eve Glass and Out means something else entirely ... at least it did when I was younger
