Gameday: Burlington Predators @ Smithville Stealth

Last weekend, after a gameless week and a practice, we made the trek out to St. Catherines once again but this time to play the Smithville Stealth. We were excited to take to the ice, thinking we would be playing on the same ice surface as the Niagara Ice Dogs play on so the rink would be good, but we played on the other not so good pad. The ice was a little sketchy as noticed by a few of the Preds players, but don't worry they all got into a groove later. With key players Mike Krikke at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, Adam Aasman M.I.A. and Dennis getting hurt 5 minutes into the game, trusty Mark Komdeur once again laced up for the blue, white and silver. He wanted to keep his point streak going so he popped in 2 goals with helpers going to his son Tyler who got 5 assists on the game and centerman Kyle who ended up with 2 goals and 4 assists. The trio of Mark, Jon and Darren scored a total of 5 goals and each got an assist. The Preds defense and Mitch played a solid game only letting one goal in with Mitch coming up huge a few times. A well defensively played game, especially on the penalty kill due to dumb penalties, kept the momentum up for the Preds and helped them put the pucks in the net.
Next week we look to keep our winning streak alive against the Burlington Vipers this time at The Wave. Be there or be square.

Final Score: Preds 9 - Stealth 1
