On Friday in Golden the Ghostriders were losing 2-0 but in the third period they outshot the Rockets 19-2, scored two goals and got the game into overtime. In the OT and shootout they had great chances but couldn’t score and Golden won 3-2 on Dominic Fiorentino’s second goal of the game.
Fernie goals were off the sticks of Scott Sinclair (Slobodian-Lambert) and Cole Fournier (Karam-Karpyshyn) with Aiden Kruhlak in net.
On Saturday in Fernie the Ghostriders pounced on the Rockets and had leads of 3-2, 5-2 and finished up with a 7-3 win.
Kort Kisinger, Gaege Johnson, Jack Karpyshyn, Taylor Haggerty, Andrew Karam and Vin Jackson (2) scored the goals and Aiden Kruhlak had the win in net.
Notes from Levi Hall's Guitar's
The star of the show in Golden was Levi Hall who is reportedly Glenn Hall’s grandson. Hall stopped a barrage of grade A chances and all four of the shootout attempts. But after his final save he made a gesture to the Rider’s bench and was given a game misconduct and one game suspension. The player claimed he was just simulating playing a guitar, well maybe he was… but he was playin the Rodeo Song
Cadillacs
Odd to see the Riders top scorer Ethan MacDuff get shutout last weekend, especially on a pad your stats night like last Saturday. It goes to show how much the five new players (Aiden Kruhlak, Andrew Karam, Jack Lambert, Liam Fitzgerald and Vin Jackson) mean to Fernie’s overall speed and skill level. Now a gunslinger can miss a few bad guys and they can still get points.
Hillbilly Music
Lots of penalties, cheap shots, fights and even an instigator, we used to call it team building .
Josh Prebushewski is back on the ice after getting hurt October 21st. He stopped a particularly hard shot with his shoulder late in the Saturday game, we hope he’s ok, the Riders need all the defensemen they can get.
D man Scott Sinclair had a goal and three assists last weekend and 6 points in his last three games. The Captain’s game is back on track.
News flash
The Riders scored some goals on breakaways Saturday. Gaege Johnson got one shorthanded and the game winner by Taylor Haggerty made him feel so good he got into a fight. They didn’t score on all of them but maybe the door is starting to open.
The Riders play the sort of first place Columbia Valley Rockies here in Fernie Tuesday December 6th then on Friday they are in Kimberley and on Saturday Dec 10th they play Revelstoke (scratch that date on your refrigerator’s door) cause it’s Teddy Bear Toss night
Round' the League
Creston beat the Rockies 7-6 Friday then the Rockies hammered them 9-1 in Invermere Saturday. Kimberley won 5-3 in Castlegar virtually assuring all our division playoff spots. More on this in the coming weeks.
