Press Release
October 12, 2015
The last week for the Tigers was a combination of offensive production and defensive frustration. The Jr B's dropped both games but still came away with a point to sit alone in 5th place in the NEAJBHL standings.
The Tigers made their first trip to Wainwright on Wednesday a memorable one. They took the undefeated Bisons to overtime and even though they ended up on the wrong side of the 8-7 finish, there was plenty of optimism. The line of Lucas Dennill, Ryan VanGenderen and Evan Bardoel combined for 13 points and 5 of the Tigers goals. Defensively the Tigers gave up one short handed and 3 power play goals as special teams played a role in the loss.
The Tigers returned to action on Friday in Frog Lake just prior to the Thanksgiving break. The Tigers gave up 48 shots and Frog Lake took full advantage of the lone power play opportunity as they won 7-4. Head Coach Durwin Selte had this to say about the game "Effort was awesome, just a few dzone mistakes cost us. Boys never quit". The Dennill, VanGenderen and Bardoel line continued their hot play netting 2 goals and the energy line of Trent Dutchak, Dalyn Borysiuk and Brayden Wilson chipped in 2 goals.
The Tigers return to action this Friday, October 16th in St. Paul for an 8:00 pm puck drop at the Clancy Richards Arena as they face the Canadiens.
The Tigers then 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.
