On Tuesday the OCN Blizzard hosted the Swan Valley Stampeders in the 4th home game to take place over 2 weeks.

 

After a scoreless first period the Swan Valley Stampeders opened fire on Chase Hamm in the second period, scoring 5 goals in the 20 minutes. Ashton Paul scored the lone goal for the Blizzard during the second period to head into the third period 5-1. Ethan Farrow was put in net just before the final 2 minutes of the second period and it seemed to be the right decision.

 

Something you have to give these guys credit for is their resiliance. Despite heading into the final 20 minutes down 4 goals they fought back, and they fought back hard!

 

Riley Zimmerman, Darik Feasey and Alex Bernauer scored back to back to catch up 5-4 with 9 minutes and 39 seconds to go of the third. With a much closer game the teams fought hard and a decision was made to pull Farrow from the net and force a 6 on 5. 

 

Unfortunately for the Blizzard this allowed Steven Arp and Trey Sauder to get two goals and end the game 7-4 for the Stampeders.

 

The Blizzard get a few days break before hitting the road with two games against Dauphin Friday and Sunday.
