Before we head into a recap of this weekend’s Napanee Raiders hockey action, we’d like to remind fan’s that there will be no home game this Friday, October 27th at the Strathcona Paper Center. Their next home game will be Friday, November 3rd. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s see what happened this weekend!
Friday, October 20th, the Napanee Raiders hosted the Amherstview Jets at the SPC. After a quiet first period, Napanee’s Ben Chubbs opened the scoring for the night in the second period, followed by a second goal for the Raiders by Marshal McFarland. Amherstview wouldn’t like that and would go on to score to be within one goal of the Raiders. To end the period, Trent Williams would score to secure their lead at 3-1. Amherstview would go on to score the first goal of the third period, which Williams would quickly answer with his second of the night. Amherstview would go on to score one more before Cameron Krupa scored the final goal of the game for a 5-3 Raiders win.
Saturday, October 21st the Raiders were in Frankford to play the Huskies. The first period saw one goal for each team, with Reid Lambert scoring for the Raiders. McFarland would end up being the lone scorer of the second period for a 2-1 Raiders lead. Frankford scored twice during the third period, including an empty net goal with 54 seconds left, for a 4-2 Frankford win.
The Napanee Raiders are in third place in the East Tod Division standings with a 4-4-0-1 record and 9 points. They sit behind Frankford (8-1-1 and 17 points) and are tied with Port Hope (7-2-0-1 and 15 points).
