For the second game of their four game road trip, the Stampeders will head South to Selkirk to begin the weekend tonight against the Steelers.
The Stampeders are coming off a two game split with the Dauphin Kings, as they defeated their Parkland rivals 6-3 on home ice back on Sept. 19, but fell 7-0 on Sept. 20 to finish the weekend with two out of a possible four points. The line of Riley Fequet, Ethan MacTavish, and Ben Groome combined for nine points in the home opener, and will test their luck again but this time on the road in Selkirk. Take note of young Stamps forward Crosby Harrison, who scored the game winning goal against the Kings on Friday for his first in the MJHL.
The Steelers are coming off of a weekend where they faced the two Winnipeg teams, opening their season with dominant wins over the Monarchs, and a 5-3 win over the Blues. Rohan Guevarra led the way with 10 points in the first three games, with Griffin Krone having seven, Owen Branson with eight, and numerous others who have found their mark on the scoresheet so far.
Players to watch:
Stampeders: Riley Fequet, Gavin Bartha, Trace Langan
Steelers: Rohan Guevarra, Owen Branson, Wyatt Witham
This is the first of many road trips that the Stampeders will take down to the Winnipeg area, they’ll look to begin the road trip with some positives in Selkirk tonight with puck drop coming at 7:30 pm. The Stamps will end the weekend at the RINK Training Centre against the Winnipeg Blues tomorrow night at 7:30 pm.
