Regina Pats News Release
This past week
Wednesday, October 26th Saskatoon Blades 5 Regina Pats 3
These two clubs met less than a week ago in Saskatoon where the Pats played 50 minutes of solid hockey on the road, but a 10 minute stretch where the Blades scored three times in the 2nd period in Saskatoon was their downfall in a 5-3 loss. Jordan Weal had a goal and an assist in the loss, while Lyndon Martell and Matt Marantz also scored for the Pats.
Friday, October 28th Regina Pats 4 Edmonton Oil Kings 1
The sixth annual Breast Cancer Awareness night this past Friday was on the pink Brandt Centre Ice. A big crowd saw the Pats take a 2-0 lead late into the 2nd period on goals by Andrew Rieder and Chandler Stephenson, only to see Dylan Wruck cut the lead in half late in the 2nd. Goals by Dominik Volek (ppg) and Lane Scheidl (en) in the third period were enough as Matt Hewitt was fantastic stopping 39 of 40 Oil King Shots.
Saturday, October 29th Moose Jaw Warriors 3 Regina Pats 2
The Pats and Warriors met for the first time during the regular season at the newly opened Mosaic Place. Adam Beukeboom got his third start of the season and was fantastic stopping 36 of 39 Warrior shots, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors were able to pull out the 3-2 victory. Chandler Stephenson scored both Regina Pat goals.
Quote of the Week
"We had some breakdowns but (the Oil Kings) are a skilled hockey team. They put a lot of rubber at you. At the end of the day we got big saves from Matt but also, did we break' No."
-Regina Pats Head Coach, Pat Conacher after Friday's win over Edmonton.
