Saturday we played the Raiders at the rink outside of Okotoks. It was a specialty team game with the ref calling anything close to a penalty. Our back pressure and good 1-1 D took away their rushes and we gave up only 19 shots and got 38 in a 5-0 win with solid goaltending. Nadia got 3 goals and 2 assists. Great to have contributions from other players.

Sunday we played Southern Alberta. They lost the day before in OT to Fire Red. They have a big, fast, skilled team. Again our defensive 1-1 game took away their 1 on 5 rushes. They outshot us 31-24, which is the most shots against so far this year, Hunter was good in the net. Our power play was running on all cylinders and scored 4 goals and we go another on a breakaway. We had a 5-1 lead with 3 minutes left but gave up two late goals and won 5+3. We play them next Sunday in Lethbridge.

This week we will focus on defensive 1-1's, point shots, penalty kill. On Thursday we will play our Halloween game where everyone wears a costume.
