FIRST PERIOD

The Knights scored three straight goals in a span of less than a minute to wake up the Riels.

Andrew Kossack scored the first goal at 4:45 assists coming from Jesse Klym and Garrett Shymko.

Then 24 seconds later Colton Kalinski scored from Andrew Kossack and Kyle Lee.

Knights were not finished yet, 16 seconds later, Jory Jastrzebski scored from Daniel Giles.

The Riels head coach; Ryan Frykas then pulled net minder Ryan Brown, his first start of the year.

He had a short talk with his net minder and switched in veteran goalie, Kyle Vandemosseleur for the rest 

of the first period. Well, that moved payed off. The Riels defensive core went to sleep for a few minutes 

early in the game, giving no help for new comber net minder Ryan Brown a rough start.

Riels turned on the offense at 9:29 when Brian Michiels scored his 9th of the season from Sean

Christensen and Michael Gorrie. Then at 14:03, Glen Young scored his 8th of the year from Michiels and

Gorrie. 

Two seconds later at 14:29, Russell Trudeau scored his 10th of the season on a beautiful 3-way passing  

play from lines mates Brett Charette and Brian Dies. That’s how the first period ended at 3 – 3 tie. Royal 

Knights out shot Riels 15 -14.

SECOND PERIOD

After taking out net minder Ryan Brown in the first 5.5 minutes of the first period, head coach Ryan 

Frykas put him back in to start the second which ended up being a smart move.

IT was a quiet period on the scoring front of the period. Both goaltenders came up big when they had to.

Then at 17:43 on the power play, Matt Lumsden found the mesh on a rebound from Jastrzebski and Klym. 

That ended the period 4 – 3 Royal Knights. Riels outshot Knights 11 – 10.

THIRD PERIOD

The Riels came out skating hard, winning battles, making things happen when Glen Young scored a nice 

goal at 10:39 to tie the game at 4 -4 with assists from Ryan Wilgosh and Brian Dies.

Then it was Russell Trudeau doing his magic finishing off a nice play on the power play with help coming 

from Charette and Dies. Ryan Brown came up big in the third making some huge saves keeping the Riels 

ahead at 5 -4.

Then at 18:45, Trudeau again finished off his hatrick and his 12th

Charette and Dies.

The Riels won the game 6 – 4 making their record 13 wins and 1 loss. The Riels outshot the Knights 13 -

12 in the third and overall shots 38 – 37.
