I was Super shocked the refs didn’t blow the whistle when the puck was in the corner with 10 players for 30 seconds with 2 minutes left. Not mad about it but I bet Drum is lol.πŸ˜‰It was easily a good 30 seconds where no play went on and the clock just drained.

Other Notes

Next game is Tuesday April 4th in Blackfalds

Attendance in Drumheller 1705

The Dragons outshot the Bulldogs 31-17. In every game that the Dragons played again that was by far their best one.

Bulldogs had a call up Will Jamieson from the U18AEHL Red Deer Chiefs for the game tonight.

The Brooks Bandits defeated the Okotoks Oilers 3-1 to win the series. The winner of this series will face the Brooks Bandits in the Southern Final. Not like that was any surprise. I think its awesome Okotoks won 2 games.
