GOALS GALORE IN REGINA
The Moose Jaw Warriors scored… and scored…. and scored Friday night in Regina. Captain Edwards fired the Warriors first, on a short handed break away. Antonin Honejsek scored the second of the night half way through the first. Carter Ashton got the Pats on the board and allowed for teddy bears to rain on to the ice. First period score: 2-1. Second period, Edwards banked his second of the night followed by a Jordan Wyton Marker to make it 4-1. At 15:20, former Warrior Thomas Frazee snuck one past Heemskerk on the power play. 4-2 Moose Jaw. In a series of events, a broken stick managed to get tangled into the play, allowing for a Jordan Weal penalty shot. He made no mistake; 4-3 Moose Jaw. Nearly as soon as the face off puck was dropped, Tony Honejsek skated into the Pats zone and with a nice move, gave the Warriors another two goal lead. 5-3 Moose Jaw to end the second. Final period, Dylan Hood scored not even a minute into the final twenty minutes. Trent Ouellette brought the Pats within two at 7:39. 6-4 Moose Jaw…. Spencer Edwards added his third of the night; making it his first hat trick of the season and a 7-4 Moose Jaw lead. Thomas Frazee added another at 14:10; followed by Tony Honejsek getting his own hat trick. 8-5 Moose Jaw. One last Pat’s goal from Garrett Mitchell at 17:54 would not be enough. AJ Johnson would put one more in for a final score of 9-6 Moose Jaw.
