Klippers Take Three Straight

With the Christmas break just around the corner the race to establish top three dominance in the conference is really heating up. The Klippers were in action last night in Humboldt where they were able to take a big 2 points on the road increasing their winning streak to 3 games while expanding their lead for 3rd in the Sherwood to 4 points ahead of the Yorkton Terriers, while closing the gap between them and the 2nd place Notre Dame Hounds to only a single point.


Last nights game was the last road game of the year for the Klippers and what away to close up as it was a tremendous goal tending battle between Kirk Crosswell of the Bronco's and your very own Josh Thorimbert. The game would need extra time to solve the one to one deadlock before Jesse Mysiorek would score for the Klippers in the 7th round of the shoot out to take the victory. The next games for the Klippers will now be Friday and Saturday as they host the Flin Flon Bombers at the West Central Events Centre, both games getting underway at 7 o'clock; with Saturdays game having the draw for the Klippers Truck Lotto's grand prize.

Klippers Snap Losing Streak

After being away from the West Central Events Centre for 6 straight games the Klippers were able to end a 4 game losing streak in LaRonge Wednesday night.

With switched up combo's up front the Klippers would hit the ice hungry for a win to take sole position of third place in the Sherwood conference. The line switches would defiantly pay off dividends especially with the line of Jordan Hoffman, Beau Taylor, and Jordan Braid as the three would combine for a total of 10 points on the night leading the team to a 5 to 4 win over The LaRonge IceWolves and former team mate Travis Eggum who would record an assist on the night.

A notable absence from the line up was defenceman Justin Perreaux who has left the team, leaving the Klippers now looking to make a trade.

The Next game for the Klippers will be back at home this Saturday when they host the Weyburn Redwings with the puck dropping at 7.

Trades

The Klippers were back to the trading blocks as a goalie shuffle is in the process.
Goaltender Joshua Baker has been sent to the Dryden Ice Dogs of the SIJHL for future considerations. With reports of the Klippers getting another out of province goalie to join Josh Thorimbert between the pipes.
