Kootenay 5 Lethbridge 3 Exhibition Game #2

The Kootenay ICE played their 2nd game of the preseason against Lethbridge in a game that was played in the Crowsnest Pass and won by a 5-3 score.

ICE goals – Dominik Pacovsky on a partial breakaway went with a forehand deke through the legs.
- Brendan Hurley on a slap shot from the circle dot that went in off the top of the goalies pad.
- Tyler Vanscourt with a high wrist shot that beat the screened netminder.
- Hurley, with his 2nd, pounced on rebound to get the eventual game winner. Hurley had a chance to get a hat-trick by was stopped on a penalty shot.
- Joey Leach wristed a shot from the top of the circle and deflected of something and went in.

Hurricanes 1st goal was something from bizzaro world as the ICE were operating in the attacking zone on a power-play. The ICE pulled their goalie as there as a delayed penalty waiting to be called. The ICE attempted a shot at the Lethbridge blueline, but it was blocked in the shin pads and somehow rolled all the way into the ICE open net.
The 3rd Lethbridge goal was actually knocked in by a high stick, but it was ICE players' stick that put it in.

Fights –
1st period Cason Machacek vs Derek Ryckman. With the automatic game misconduct both teams were down to 5 defensemen the rest of the game.
2nd period Brock Montgomery vs Max Ross. Montgomery was upset with being clipped by Ross on the previous shift and instigated the encounter.

The ICE will host Lethbridge at the Rec-Plex on Wednesday at 7.
