Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas - The Brahmas had their own Texas-Oklahoma rivalry heat up at Saturday at the NYTEX Sports Centre when the Tulsa Oilers came to town; Texas won the match-up 5-3.
The Brahmas powerplay was treated to a two-man advantage early when Rick Kozak and Aaron Davis were sentenced to the box, giving Texas a 5-on-3 edge for over a minute. It took no time for Jordan Cameron to net his first goal of the season from the top of the point for a 1-0 lead.
A bench minor was handed to the home team for a delay of game as the teams returned to the ice for the second. Texas' PK unit was buzzing and it was rookie defenseman Tyrell Mason who sizzled a slapshot past Kevin Armstrong for the shorthanded goal. At the 8:46 marker in the second the Brahmas continued to be in attack mode and it was a pass to Jason Reese from James Hiebert that found its way deflected by Kevin McLeod for the Brahmas third goal of the night.
Rookie forward Reese came out shooting with linemate Hiebert and took the puck top shelf for a Texas' fourth of the game and his first in his career. With a 4-0 lead, the Brahmas looked to be set on coast for the remainder of the final period, giving up three unanswered goals in a six minute span. But it was Brahmas team leading scorer, A.J. Gale who pinned down the Brahmas victory with his sixth of the season on the powerplay for the 5-3 win.
Texas' netminder, Brett Jaeger returned in goal following a brief stint with the Houston Aeros (AHL) stopping 34 of 37 shots. The Brahmas were 2 for 6 with the man advantage.
Tomorrow afternoon the Brahmas will return to the ice for a matinee game against their I-20 rivals, Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs at the NYTEX Sports Centre. Prior to faceoff the Brahmas and NYTEX Sports will have a special Championship Ring Presentation in honor of the Brahmas 2009 CHL Championship. For tickets to witness the celebration and game please contact the Brahmas Box Office at (817) 336-4423 or log on to: www.brahmas.com.
The NYTEX Sports Centre, home of the Texas Brahmas, is Wi-Fi friendly due to the partnership with Great Auk Wireless.
