Just a minute and 20 seconds into the game Oilers Hunter Sawka scored his 6th of the season from Jagger Tapper and Nolan Flint. At 12:47 on the Power Play Tyler Wallace (32) scored by deflecting a shot from Brett Meerman. Tanner Willick got the other assist. It was a strange looking bounce. Then at 15:38 Jayden Joly scored from Brett Meerman and Tyler Wallace to take the lead and make the game 2-1.
In the 2nd period at 7:47 Tyler Wallace (33) scored from Brett Meerman and Layne Loomer
Tyler Wallace (34) completed his hat trick goal standing right in the front of the net from Brett Meerman and Jason Siedem on the pp. Oilers pulled their goalie with almost 3 minutes remaining. I know they don’t want to lose but thats a huge gamble. Again though if you can pull that off and tie it up. Tyler Wallace already has 3 goals on you guys with a goalie in there. How do you think he will do without one in there?
With the goalie pulled Okotoks Oiler Western Michigan Commit Sam Huck (who is very visibly tired because he had been quadruple shifted the whole game) went to clear the puck out of the zone, and bounced it off Ty Yoder’s helmet, it fell into his feet, but Tyler Wallace was there to get the puck.
Then Tyler Wallace scored on the Empty net (35). That puts him in a tie for 2nd place in goals in the AJHL. 35 is a great number its a tetrahedral number. Kudos if any of you know what that means 🤪

I had to google who Spencer Jennings was after the Bulldogs did their Celebrity Crush Valentines video. I googled it and it is a chick🤣 I thought it was a member of Backstreet Boys or New Kids on the Block or something and the guys were trying to be funny like it was an inside joke.🤣🤣🤪
