The Ghostriders (2-1) got their second win of the season Tuesday night with a 3-2 win over the visiting Creston Thunder Cats.
Creston scored the only goal in the first period, the Riders scored two in the second and in the third the teams traded goals.
Both teams had a PP goal and the shots ended up 37-33 Creston.
This was not a physical game and the power plays were Creston 1-3 and Fernie 1-2.
While protecting a 3-1 lead late in the third the Riders took a needless crosschecking penalty in Creston’s end and it almost cost them the game when the Cats big line scored to make it 3-2.
I think a lesson was learned.
Creston took a penalty of their own a few minutes later and had to pull their goalie for a chance to even the game and they had a couple of Grade A chances but Aiden Kruhlak made the big stops when it mattered most.
Anyway a win is a win... Captain Taylor Haggerty’s second goal was the game winner.
