The Napanee Raiders have now extended their winning streak to 7-games after a successful weekend.
Friday, November 17, the Raiders welcomed the Campbellford Rebels to the SPC. After a bit of back and forth during the first period it would be Napanee to get on the board first with about 2 mins and 30 seconds left, thanks to a goal by Ben Carter. Less than a minute later Campbellford would score to tie the game to end the period. The second period saw two goals for the Raiders by Luke Jarmin and Erik MacNiel and none for Campbellford. The third period would play out similarly, with two goals for the Raiders, by Reid Lambert and Cameron Krupa, and none scored by Campbellford for a 5-1 Raiders win.
Saturday, November 18, the Raiders made their way down the Highway to Frankford to play the Huskies. The first period saw just one goal scored, and that was by Frankford. In the second period Blake Aylesworth would score for the Raiders to tie the game. In the third period Aylesworth would score his second of the night to take the lead for the Raiders, who won 2-1.
