Royals go to 3-0 on the season by striking seven goals again!

Over the past couple of years The Fort Gary Flyers and the River East Royals have had a great rivalry. Last year Fort Gary won the rivalry winning 2 out of the 3 games against the Royals. This year the Royals plan to turn it around. First Period. Fort Gary strikes first on a breakaway after dodging a poke check. Second Period. Cody w. buries the first goal for the Royals on the night and his goal as a River East Royal after a great end to end rush by Connor. Just over a minute after that Joel scores a rebound goal on he power play after the point shot from Matt and the pass from Connor. 30 seconds later Devan snipes power play goal for the Royals after a pass from Matt. The Flyers cut the lead down to one after another breakaway goal but the Cody P. answers back by sliding a softy pass the Flyers goalie to make it a 4-2 hockey game. Third Period. Flyers scores right as their power play ran out, on a screened shot making it a one goal game. However, Devan scores his second goal on the night on a great shot assisted by Shane to regain the two goal lead. Just over half way through the period Derrick scores an unassisted goal and Zach scores a power play rebound goal assisted by Connor and Devan to give the Royals the 7-3 victory and 3-0 record to start the season. Key points: The power play unit was unbelievable tonight and mainly because of the great passing executed by every player on the ice. As well, penalty kill was perfect again by not allowing any power play goals for the Flyers. Areas for Improvement. Just remember to watch the offsides, we got called a little to often as well, breakaway,preventing shots and stopping goals could be worked on by the defensive part of the team (goalie(s) stopping and defence preventing). Three Stars: Connor, Devan, Matt
