Outlaws win over Red Wings.

Regular season hockey officially began at the SaskCan Community Centre, as the Midget Outlaws welcomed the Rosetown Red Wings into town for their Home Opener.

Things began early as just 29 seconds in, Bernard Charpentier was sin-binned for a double minor for checking to the head. The Outlaws were unable to capitalize on that, nor could they on a Boarding call on Tyson Walker. But the 0/3 start on the PP didn't deter Wilkie, as they broke thru at the 16:42 mark of the 1st. Jaymon took a nice feed from Colby Fulton (Anthony Delainey was credited with the second assist) and put the home team up by one after 1 period.

The second period started much the same, as the Wings' Dayton Deobald was penalized for Tripping, but again, the Midgets couldn't pot one on the PP, but once again, the even strength play shined on this night, as Sander potted his second of the night from Fulton. Rosetown received their first Power Play of the night when captain Zach Wangler was called for Hooking, but the Wings did nothing with the extra man. Exactly 30 seconds after Wangler was released, Sander was sent in all alone, and lit up Wings keeper Austin Sparks for his hattrick goal. The teams hit the dressing rooms with the scoreboard reading 3-0 for the home team.

The 3rd period had the tables turned slightly, with Wilkie taking the early penalty, Riley Thomas for Interference, and Rosetown finally taking advantage. Charpentier scored on the doorstep to cut the deficit to 2, but 33 seconds later, the Outlaws answered again, with Sean Fenrich scoring, and Sander assisting, giving the home team the 4-1 lead, and thats how this one would end.
