The Vermilion Tigers Jr B Hockey Club opened the 2015-2016 regular season on the road this past weekend. The club came away with a win and a loss to sit in a 3 way tie for third place in the NEAJBHL standings.

Rookie rearguard Danton Brooks stopped 30 shots en route to a 2-1 victory against the Rangers on Friday. The Lloydminster product made two game saving stops in the 1st period to lead the team to the victory. Returning player Chase Fletcher netted his first of the season on a breakaway and rookie forward Conor Fogarty scored the game winning goal 5 minutes into the 3rd frame.

Saturday wasn't as kind to the Tigers as their first visit to Lloydminster resulted in a 7-2 drubbing at the hands of the Bandits. The Tigers spent a good portion of the game in the penalty box and the Bandits took full advantage potting 3 power play goals. Carter Myhovich scored his first NEAJBHL goal in the 1st period and was joined by veteran Lucas Dennill on the scoresheet.

The Tigers return to action this Wednesday, October 7th in Wainwright for an 8:30 pm puck drop at the Peace Memorial as they face the Bisons. The Tigers then continue their Road Warrior start to the season Friday, October 9th in Frog Lake at the newly renovated New Horizon Center at 8:00 pm to battle the T-Birds.

The Tigers open up their home schedule on Saturday, October 17th at 8:00 pm as the reigning league champion Cold Lake Ice are in town. This game will feature our first annual Ice Hunger night as we help support the Food Bank. We ask everyone attending to bring an item as a donation and in turn you will receive a ticket for draws to be made during the game.
