Rockies versus Dynamiters

The Kimberley Dynamiters outplayed the Rockies 5-1 at the Eddie Mountain Memorial on Saturday, October 31st.

“We didn’t have the same jump on Saturday as we did on Friday,” said Mr. Dubielewicz. “Kimberley played a physical game and I think the long bus ride after (the last game meant) we didn’t have enough gas in the tank to push back.”

The Rockies scored their only goal during the second period when Luke Bellerose took a shot with assists from Zachary Ross and Harrison Davies.

The next game will be when the Rockies take on the Sicamous Eagles at 7:30 p.m. in the Eddie on Friday, November 6th.
