November 27th update

Saturday’s Game- In Sparwood

The Ghostriders play the Grand Forks Border Bruins Saturday  This will be the third and final regular season game with the Bruins this year. The last game was in October and the Bruins won 4-2 and on September 8th  in Grand Forks the Bruins won 4-3 in overtime.

The Bruins got off to a good start and were battling for first or second place for a while but are now in fourth and have  1-8-1 record in their last 10 games. So a shake up was due and last week Head Coach and GM Emery Olauson traded his top scorer, 20 year old Jordan Robertson, to Revelstoke for two younger players Jack McNamara and Zane Avery. Robertson was leading the whole league in scoring for several weeks so something bad musta happened.

The Ghostriders
lost 3-2 in Creston last Friday then trounced the Golden Rockets 7-2 on Saturday.

On Friday smooth skating Tristan Downe was named as the Player of the Game and Matt Rogers scored the lone Rider goal.

On Saturday Keelan Saworski had 2 goals and 2 assists was the Player of the Game. The other goal scorers were Kevin Pierce, Brendan Nemes, Ryan Partaker (his first as a Ghostrider ) Matt Rogers (scored in both games) and Jace Woodley (4th goal in last 5 games). Mitch Titus chipped in with 3 assists and now has 7G 15A.

Broc Merkl played both games in net last weekend, he had a fairly easy night against the Rockets but had 42 shots in Creston where he played well enough to give his team a chance to win. Broc was named as the Tim Horton’s Player of the Week.

All the best to Barry Wolff who was let go by the Coquitlam Express today. Wolff spent 3 years in Fernie in the junior A days and another year in 2012-13. After leaving Fernie for Coquitlam his Express won the BCHL Championship.
