Thunderbirds make biannual visit

pa NOW Staff

The Raiders open a three game in four night push tonight at home against the Seattle Thunderbirds.

It's a big night for Raiders top scorer Jonathan Parker (12 goals and 10 assists).  The former T-bird was traded to P-A last January.  For the entire group it's a chance to rebound from Friday's home ice loss to Swift Current and get back to .500 at home.

Seattle is coming off last night's 5-4 shootout win in Saskatoon.  In fact all three Seattle games out East and 9 of 16 overall have gone to extra time.

Goalie Calvin Pickard, one of the best in the league is a work horse.  The 18 year old has played in all 16 Thunderbird games and faced 121 shots the conventional way and another six via shootouts while tending three games over the past four nights.

The Art Hauser Centre isn't unfamiliar territory for all the Thunderbirds.  Leading scorer Burke Gallimore (9 goals and 7 assists) and 20 year old Travis Toomey are former Saskatoon Blades, while 20 year old defenseman Travis Bobbie spent part of last season in Swift Current.
