Stampeders split on the road despite advertsity

.

The Williams Lake Stampeders split their two away games this past weekend with a very short bench. The Stamps had 14 players on Saturday for their game in Smithers and only 13 players for their Sunday match in Hazelton.

The Stamps put forth a great effort but lost to the hometown Steelheads with a score of 6-4 on Saturday night. On Sunday, with just 13 players, the Stamps offence pounced on the Hazelton Wolverines and notched eight goals, winning with a score of 8-3.

STAMPEDERS HOME GAME

The now 2-1 Stamps will be back at home this weekend for a single home weekend game Saturday evening against the visiting Hazelton Wolverines.  

The Stampeders and Quesnel Kangaroos will then renew their long-time rivalry the following weekend, as Quesnel will make the journey south to play Williams Lake October 22.

The Williams Lake Stampeders AA men’s hockey team won their first game thrashing the visiting Lac La Hache Tomahawks 14-5.

The Tomahawks are in their first year of operation, and it was their first game as a team,. They opened the scoring just minutes into the first period, but after that the Stampeders took control of the game.

Top scorers for the Stampedeers were Tyrel Lucas, Joe Morgan, and Wilfred Robbins; all had three goals apiece, as well as Francis Johnson who scored twice.

The stands were full for the opening game of the season, with fans from both Williams Lake and Lac La Hache.

Next for the hometown boys is a pair of road trip games in Smithers and Hazelton this weekend.

Next home game is October 15 against the Hazelton Wolverines.
