The Grand Forks Border Bruins came to town, and in their bright yellow jerseys, they took on the Dynamiters in their breast cancer pink jerseys (very vibrant colours for a hockey game). The Dynamiters continued their winning ways over the Border Bruins with a 3-0 win.

Game Notes

• Devan Langelaar made his Nitro's debut
• Brouwer got back-to-back starts. He squared off against Galliart.
• Just a reminder that the pink jersey's are being auctioned.
• Cydnie Rice (a local girl) was back in town refereeing her first game in Kimberley
• 566 in attendance

1st

Marchi continued his hot ways as he squeaked in the first goal of the game on the short-side of the goalie. Later, the Nitro's got a PP opportunity as Trevor van Steinburg was launched into the net, call was interference. Despite numerous chance, and crisp passes, the Dynamiters were held blank during their PP chance. As that opportunity concluded the Nitro's took back-to-back penalties, giving the Border Bruins a PP for four minutes. But the penalty kill was once again strong, and kept Border Bruins at bay. Period ended 1-0 for Nitro's.

2nd

Haase built the lead for the Dynamiters, as he continues averaging a point per game (and nearly a goal per game too!).  Farmer followed it up later with his first of the season, giving the Dynamiters a 3-0 lead in the first 30 minutes of the game. Many in the stands thought the scoring would continue for the remainder of the game... but it didn't. The Border Bruins held the fort.

3rd
The Dynamiters did not give up. They fired the most amount of shots on net this period, hoping to increase their lead (16 shots), but the goalie, Galliart, impressively shut the Dynamiters out for the remaining 30 minutes of the game. On the other end, Brouwer shut the Border Bruins out for the full 60 minutes, going 120 minutes without letting in a goal, earning his fourth shutout of the season, and his second in a row.

A win is a win, and the Dynamiters, as Austyn Moser put it, so hot right now. Winning their past six games in a row.

Dynamite Player of the Game
Jared Marchi - GWG, and had many moments of great stick-handling. Also played a versatile role, filling in on the back end when needed, especially when D pinched in.

Honorable Mentions
Tyson Brouwer - with the shut out
George Bertoia - silently shutting down the opposition. KIJHL star of the game.
James Farmer - first Nitro's goal.
