Pat Blues send Swift Current down the river

Regina, SK -  This was an entertaining game tonight at the Al Ritchie where the Regina Pat Blues improved their record to 2-1 in regular season play with a 6-3 win over the road weary Swift Current Kabos.  In my opinion, this game was really decided in the third period when the Pat Blues took it to a Swift Current team that was playing its second game in as many nights.  Matthew Lenz played outstanding for the Blues and, in my opinion, was the first star of the game (aside from Garth Beatty who drew the winning 50/50 ticket tonight)!

Goal scorers for the Pat Blues included Noah Crowley with 2, and singles from Randen Schmidt, Tristan Third, Donavon Beatty and Matthew Chekay.  I've put a video montage up from the game tonight that includes the Blues taking the ice, Noah Crowley's highlight of the night goal and some post game comments from Blues rookie Randen Schmidt about the play of Lenz.  Next up for the Blues is the Saskatoon Stallions who, coincidentally, are named after fictitious boxer Rocky Balboa, the original Italian Stallion!
