Tonight is the back half of the Pats and Warriors home and home series. 24 hours ago, the Warriors scored twice in the second period en route to the 3-1 win. Damien Ketlo stopped 43 of 45 Warrior shots and was named the game's second star, while Garrett Mitchell picked up the lone Pat goal.
Things are a little more interesting this season with former Warriors General Manager, Chad Lang, now holding the same role with the Regina Pats as well as the addition of 20 year old forward Thomas Frazee from the Warriors in late September.
