Posse 5 – Rockies 2

The Posse faced the Columbia Valley Rockies last night.  The evening was hilited by the return of goaltender Tanner Sheridan and the first game for rookie defenseman Kieran Friesen.  The two new players were strong contributers to the Posse 5-2 victory.

The return of Sheridan immediately paid dividends, as Tanner stopped 31 of 33 shots.  Included in Tanners performance were two key saves early in the second period.  Shorthanded the Posse were pressured by the Rockies offense, Sheridan closed the door with numerous big saves to keep the Posse down  by a single goal. 

Teams at even strength, Kyle L’Arrivee, forced a turn over in the neutral zone, picked up the loose puck and scored on the breakaway.  For the second game in a row the Posse power play was able to capitalize, scoring the next two goals.  Defenseman Jared Hidber scored his first goal of the season with a wrist shot from the point.   Derrick Delisser added one more by knocking in his own rebound to give the Posse a 3=1 lead going into the third period.

The third period saw the Posse continue to pressure the Rockie defense, Jason Alessio notched his first goal of the season by finishing a little play from line mate Brody Brewster.  Spencer Brooks finished the posse scoring with a hard wrist shot past Rockies netminder Brandon Anderson.
