Nitro's win high scoring game 6-3

What at first started as a referee favoring the Golden Rockets game, ended up being an offensive outburst for the Nitro's.

Early in the first, the ref was 'whistle-happy' calling two minors, creating a five on three, which the Rockets scored and had the early lead. This enraged the 445 fans.  However, the Nitros responded with three quick goals of their own by Bogdanek, Marchi, and Wolf. The rest, as they say is history.

The Nitro's scored three times on the power play, and had a short handed goal. However, the "Who's Hot in the KIJHL" player, and the Nitro's Player of the Game was Jared Marchi. He was in on all but one goal for the Nitros (2G, 3A).

I feel the need to do a shout out to Golden Rockets character player, standing at 6'4" wearing #27, Michael Anderson. He showed a lot of leadership and support to his team and goalie, despite being down 5-1. True class.

I also noticed another trend. Although our captain doesn't have a mustache, Columbia Valley's and Golden's do, and they look identical on the ice:

Remember you can check out the boxscore on the KIJHL website. But now onto some shots from the game:
