Saturday’s Game
The Nelson Leafs are in town Saturday night.
These guys have 34 points and are first place overall in the KIJHL so you don't want to miss this game.
Last weekend Nelson had two road wins in Grand Forks and Castlegar and are on a 4 game win streak.
Mario DiBella is Nelson’s head coach and director of player personal and Sean Dooley is the GM and assistant coach.
The Ghostriders
The Ghostriders only played one game last weekend and lost 5-4 in double overtime to the Rockies. The Riders were down 4-0 after the first period but scored 4 goals in the third to force the OT. Mitch Titus (2) Keelan Saworski and Jace Woodley scored the goals, Broc Merkl was in net.
The teams will warm up Friday night, Fernie plays in Invermere (A Drive 99.1 Radio Broadcast Game) and Nelson is in Golden.
Rider Notebook
With 2 goals and an assist last week and 10 points in his last four games Mitch Titus has now caught Keelan Saworski for the Riders top scorer with 19 points. Saworski is not easy to catch, he has had at least a point in every game he has played in this year.
Kyle Haugo was the Tim Horton’s Player of the Week and Ethan Jang was the McDonald’s Practice Player of the Week.
The Kimberley Dynamiters were in the news a few weeks ago when someone named Mike Gould said he was giving Kimberley more than 7 million dollars. So far no millions of dollars just millions of comments on the always newsworthy Fecesbook saying he may not have any money. Or is it like buying a house and it takes months to close... I have no idea, but stoning him in the city centre seems a bit harsh... even to me.
Injuries
Shaun Pierce has been skating and is likely to play at least one game this weekend. Matt Rogers is ready to go but Owen Titus is still a few weeks away as is goaltender Zak Larson.
Teams I may have to be nicer to... oh oh too late
The Ghostrider broadcast crew and the whole Rider organization thanks Kimberley for bringing their internet broadcasting equipment to Sparwood while the Riders await entrance to the arena to get their equipment back. And and even bigger thanks from Dan and Ted go out to the Columbia Valley Rockies for bringing their equipment and then lending their old equipment to the Riders until they get their own stuff back.
The Riders are in Invermere this Friday and in Creston next Friday and they are both Drive 99.1 radio broadcast games with Josh Hoffman at the mike. Then next Saturday the Golden Rockets are in town to play the Riders.
