OHSWEKEN — The Rivermen are on a roll as they’ve earned their third consecutive win with a home victory over this past weekend.
On Saturday night, the Rivermen hosted the Owen Sound North Stars at the Gaylord Powless Arena and offered viewers a great showing of rough and tumble throughout the game.
The first period allowed the Rivemen to gain a lead with only two responses from the Stars. Jon Williams, Marcus Elvin and Gates Abrams earned singles while Tom Montour put away two.
This brought the second period which was nearly a repeat of the first, as the Rivermen earned another five consistent goals with another two responses by the Stars. Jake Bomberry, Gates Abrams buried singles while Zed Williams racked two.
Coming into the third, game misconducts went to Rayce Vyse and Tom Montour along with four Stars players for fighting, while several major penalties were handed out for various penalties including face mask grabbing.
But the game was already in the bag for the Rivermen as the three goals won by the Stars were cancelled out by four from the home team. Goals came from Wayne Hill, Daniel Farmer, John Jimerson (unassisted) and Jon Williams.
This closed the match 14-8 for the Rivermen.
Their next home game will open on Friday, May 17 at the Hagersville Arena at 8 p.m..
