Dynamiters lose second in a row to Columbia Valley Rockies

The Dynamiters faced off against division rivals, and present division bottom feeders, the Columbia Valley Rockies. However, despite strong play through lengthy moments of the game, the Rockies showed their potential and won 3-2.

Game Notes
Liam McBain, son of Jason McBain, finally played his FIRST game in the KIJHL, giving Brouwer a much needed break.

1st Period
It was a clean (no penalties) period. The Dynamiters controlled the play, but were held scoreless. Nitro's had the edge in shots, 7-6.

2nd Period
Richter was called for interference, but the Rockies couldn't capitalize. Buckley was called for tripping shortly after killing the previous penalty. The Rockies were able to take advantage, and scored the first goal of the game. As the second period drew to a close the Nitro's got a PP opportunity but didn't capitalize. The Rockies took a 1-0 lead into the intermission, and had an edge in shots this period 9-8.

3rd Period
The Dynamiters were electric at the start of the third. Richter and Wallace took turns scoring goals and helping each other. It looked like it was going to be the typical third period for the Dynamiters (where they have scored the majority of their goals, and start dominating their opponent). But then the Rockies leveled the game. The Rockies then put themselves in an awkward spot taking a penalty with just over 3 minutes left. However, in a weird turn of events the Rockies came on the attack short handed, took a shot, McBain saved the puck and a Rockies player. The puck slid over the line at the same time that the net was knocked off. Despite this turn of events, the goal still counted. (This is the second time our goalie has been run down, and no penalty was called, yet every time the Nitro's get close to an opponents goalie and they do a dramatic snow angel we get a penalty). Needless to say, the Dynamiters were less than happy. And the Rockies won their third game of the season with a 3-2 victory.
