Hot Rods Pick Up Win vs. Knight Riders

The Hot Rods Hockey Club picked up their first win, defeating the Knight Riders 6-3 on Friday night.

With only 10 skaters, the Hot Rods looked nervous before the game seeing as how the average age of their opponent looked to be about 22. But the Rods were ready to skate, especially the Chilliwack Connection, who combined for 5 goals and 8 points. Tony Schellenberg scored 3,  Mark Schellenberg scored one and Nick Giannoulis opened the scoring with his goal.

Henry Leaver got the other goal and Keith Pelletier added 3 assists.

Next action is Friday, Sept 23 against the Thundercats II.

Hot Rods Start Season with Tie

The Hot Rods Hockey Club began the 2016-17 NCHL Winter Season in true Rods fashion, a defensive contest ending in a 7-7 tie.

Tayler Delannoy played a great game in net, but after a "few" defensive breakdowns, the Blues were able to capitalize on some rebounds.

Rylan Northcott scored got the hat trick,  which earned him the Amateur Stuntman of the Game Award.

With 48 seconds left in the game, Keith Pelletier was able to tie the game with the Rods net empty. It was a "right place at the right time" kinda goal, as he had dropped his stick and just happened to be in the right spot for the rebound.
