Pat Chat September 9th

Second Week of the Pre-Season

The Week That Was
Thursday, September 5th – Pats 3 @ Prince Albert 4
The Blue and White held 2-0 and 3-2 leads in their first exhibition game, but the Raiders wouldn’t be put away.  Tied 3-3 in the third period, Reid Gardiner jammed a bouncing puck past Adam Beukeboom for a Raider lead with just two minutes left.  The Pats came on strong in the final moments, but wouldn’t be able to find the tying goal.

Friday, September 6th – Prince Albert 4 @ Pats 3
Though a similar final score, the Pats’ first home exhibition game took on a different look as the Raiders held the lead for most the contest.  With a late goal from Marc McCoy, the Pats pulled within one goal, but would fall just short in the late stages with their net empty.  15-year old prospect Sam Steel had two assists in the contest.

Roster Moves
Pats reassign F Sam Steel to Sherwood Park Kings (AMHL)
Pats reassign F Colton Kroeker to Valley West Hawks (BCMML)
Pats reassign G Adam Beukeboom to Drumheller Dragons (AJHL)

Quote of the Week
“(Austin) Wagner and (Rylee) Zimmer kind of got us going again with some real good solid forechecking. They’re good skaters. They can play physical despite the fact they’re not 200 pounds. We kind of fed off of that.” Head Coach Malcolm Cameron on 16-year olds Austin Wagner and Rylee Zimmer
