Kimberley Dynamiters win in OT over the Sicamous Eagles


The Sicamous Eagles were doing an Eddie Mountain division swing, and this was their last game in a three-game weekend.

Game Notes
  • The Nitro's still have a lot of players sitting out, but Tyler van Steinburg was back in the lineup
  • AP Rylan D'Etcheverrey dressed for the game. He has 1G 5A in 13 games for the Cranbrook Knights.
  • 336 showed up for the game
1st
The Dynamiters started the game off short-handed due to a warm-up infraction. The Nitro's killed off the penalty. As the period ticked along, the Dynamiters kept peppering the Eagles goalie. Buckley potted the first goal as he took a pass from Trevor van Steinburg, The Eagles took back to back penalties, but they frustrated the Nitro's PP as the Dynamiters could not get too organized and solve the goalie. Kimberley took their 1-0 lead into the first intermission, leading in shots 13-6.

2nd
The Eagles came storming into the second period. Just over two minutes into the period they evened the game, 1-1. They also swooped in on the goalie several times. Eventuall Meier took exception to it, trying to protect the keeper since the official wouldn't, but he was given 2+10 as well as the Eagles player. The period ended in a draw, but with the Eagles leading the shots 11-6.

3rd
Moser busted in and shot the puck up high giving the Nitro's a 2-1 lead. The Eagles responded quickly tying the game up 2-2. Kimberley kept pressing, but the Eagles goalie brought his A+ game. As has been noticeable this season, that who-ever comes into our barn, brings their A+ game as they try to dethrone the defending champions in their own arena. There was a moment where the Nitro's thought they went up 3-2; but the official deemed that the puck was kicked in so the goal was disallowed. This game was headed to overtime! Shots were 15-7 Kimberley.

OT
OT was short. Haase skated out from the corner and rifled the puck in the net.

Kimberley earned 3/4 points this weekend, with both games going to overtime.
