Ghost stories Sept 13th and a few other things
The Ghostriders will play in Nelson this Friday then go to Spokane on Saturday.
In Nelson (a radio broadcast game on 99.1 the Drive) they will face the Leafs who won 1-0 vs Beaver Valley last Friday, although Josh Williams had to stop over 50 shots for the W. Nelson then lost 2-1 to Kimberley last Saturday but did manage to outshoot the Nitro's.
It could prove to be a test for the younger Riders who Coach Craig Mohr says- need to work on some positional play this week in practice.
In Spokane they will face a team that just like the Riders lost in OT in Grand Forks last weekend. This one is not a scheduled radio game.
Kimberley just got back goalie Cody Campbell from Jr A, last year he pushed the Nitro's past Fernie and Creston then put a scare into the KIJHL Champions from Beaver Valley but lost in 5 games...in a best of 5.
The Riders just got smooth skating D man Tristan Downe back from Nipawn in the SJHL. Downe was injured and missed most of the first part of last season and took a while to get his game back, but was effective when he did. Mohr says the 19 year old is a little thicker this year as well. Welcome back Tristan.
Both local skaters Cory Caldwell and Jake Beranek are out with injuries, Beranek is voted the most likely to return but it may take a couple of weeks.
Goalies
Zak Larson was the Player of the Game in Grand Forks . Brandon Youngson played well according to the radio and Coach Mohr in BV despite the lopsided loss. Coach says the boys missed 4 breakaways... could have maybe changed things a bit.
The Castlegar Rebels are the first team this year to lose points for using an ineligible player and the Golden Rockets were the recipients despite a 5-4 loss last Friday. We'll give Reb's HC Bill Rotheisier a mulligan for the first one, but the standup comedian will be back on line if it happens again...
The Riders were treading water in BV last Saturday when McCarthy Manyfingers took 29 PIM in the same stoppage of play. The Riders went on to lose 6-0...Say what you will but I think it's it great to have that kind of wildcard in the lineup again. Remembering Josh Kluck
If you really follow this stuff you will know that this is the understatement of the year...Quesnel's KIJHL expansion bid is still in play.... and Kamloops GM Barry Dewar is the helmsman. Read that story HERE while Remembering that in the Spring Dewar was interviewed and said the attendance was so bad he may not even be able to rehire Coach ED Patterson again... but he did anyway. I'm betting attendance will be much better in Quesnel...and Williams Lake.....and...

Ghostrider Update Sept 5th
The Ghostriders played four exhibition games, they won their two home games, but lost the road games against both the Rockies and Creston. On Tuesday morning the team had their last home ice practice and now they'll help put down the boards that will cover the ice for the big National Mine Rescue competition.
Coach Craig Mohr tells me because the team lost the ice this week they will have to travel to Grand Forks a day early so they can get in a practice before settling in for their first regular season game Friday.
Mohr also says local players Jake Beranek (injured) and Cory Caldwell will be here at the start and likely for the full season. Meanwhile Chase Rayman and Kris Wert are still battling it out for the final roster spots.
A noticeably thinner Brandon Youngson is the likely Rider starter in net but Zak Larson who the Riders acquired from the Chase Heat a few weeks ago may have something to say about that.
The C's and the A's
Mitch Titus will Captain the Riders this year and Brendan Nemes and third year D man Kevin Pierce will be wearing the A's. Another A may be announced in a couple of weeks.
The Riders have several new players and we will be talking about them when the season starts up. Rider GM Craig Mohr, as usual, has to play the waiting game with BC Hockey and Hockey Alberta to get all his player releases. This happens every year but should be complete by Friday. Fans though can see this year's lineup right away it's here .
Rider fans can listen to the games in Grand Forks and Beaver Valley on our local radio the Drive 99.1 or 93.5 in Sparwood or watch them on the KIJHL webcasts.

Riders split first two EX games
After an 8-2 loss in Invermere the Ghostriders finished up their two game set with the Rockies on Wednesday night with a 7-3 win.
At home the Riders were led by new Captain Mitch Titus who scored a couple of goals and was clearly the most talented player on the ice. Brendan Nemes who came here late last season scored a goal and had several big hits making him the most dominant player Wednesday.
Anyway, the Riders used several new players including 16 year old D Shaun Pierce, Kevin's brother and Ethan Jang a forward from the Trail area. Coach Mohr says they are both here for the season.
Sparwood D Jake Beranek was injured in the first period and didn't finish the game, but is expected to stay the year with the Riders.
Devyn Stewart scored a goal and has been signed for the year as well.
Greg Susinski (has been in the coaches sights for a couple of years and is now BC eligible) Jon Wick (who can play and seemingly came out of nowhere) Owen Titus (Mitch's brother) Cory Caldwell (a local hitter) Chase Gregory (did a bunch of things to make at least one writer notice him) McCarty Manyfingers (we need that size) and Jace Woodley (traded from Sicamous) are all new players on Coach Mohr's likely signing list as well.
The carding process takes a bit and that list is probably not quite complete but will get completed in the next few days as the coaches make their decisions and then the full signed roster will be on the team website.
Last Chances
On Friday in Creston and on Saturday here in Fernie the boys will get a couple more chances to change minds, for better or worse, then it's off for two weeks on the road in Grand Forks, Beaver Valley, Nelson, Spokane and Golden before finally commin back home to Fernie on September 22nd to play the Golden Rockets, who a couple of coaches think will be better than their 5-37-0 4 showing last year.
Here is the Riders stats page, it will be updated shortly.
Wednesday's ex game sheet will not be on the KIJHL site but we have it here.
