With injuries and other factors adding up, the Spoilers JV was forced to shuffle around their lineup in the last game of the season, and came close to stealing one from GFRR. However, 4 Power Play goals by the Riders would carry them to a 5-3 victory.

GFRR got on the board first at the 4:06 mark of the first period. Spoilers would respond with goals from Jordan Keeley and Abe Hankey, with assists going to Brandon Ferguson, Brandon Osowski on Keeley goal, and Noah Zimmerman on the Hankey goal. (Hankey's was off of a face off, so Noah received 10 extra bonus "XP" points for winning a draw!!)

However, the Spoilers would get into penalty trouble in the 2nd, and GFRR would capitalize with two PP goals to take the lead. A short handed goal by Brandon Ferguson would tie the game up at 3. Then,  a bone headed move by Coach Jeff Nold would get the Spoilers whistled for "Too Many Men" on the ice, as a miscommunication sent two Left Wingers out. (STILL KICKING MYSELF!) The Riders would take the lead for good on the ensuing PP with just over a minute remaining in the 2nd.

In the third, the Spoilers would give up a goal in trying to make a comeback, but it just wasn't meant to be, as the Riders skated to a 5-3 win and 2nd  place behind the undefeated Fargo Davies Eagles in JV Cup standings.

Justin Offutt was stellar in net, stopping 31 of the 36 shots he faced. Up next for the Spoilers JV: WORKING HARD AND GETTING READY FOR NEXT SEASON!!

Also, special thanks to senior Erica Sevigny for all she does! This was the last game for her, and we really appreciate ALL the hard work she has shown for two years! Erica will be doing the stats for the Varsity program as they head into the post season! THANKS ERICA!!
