Raiders’ Fonstad with new confidence; P.A. dethrones the Oil Kings
Cole Fonstad had an event filled three days.
On Thursday, he came the first Prince Albert Raider to score at the Top Prospects Game in the past 17 years, in Guelph, Ont. Then on Friday, he rushed back to the Art Hauser Centre just in time to score a goal in the Raiders’ 6-2 win over the Prince George Cougars.
Then on Saturday, Fonstad rattled off two more goals and a helper in the 9-2 over the Edmonton Oil Kings.
“It was huge. The last 10 games before I went there, I don’t think I was myself,” the sophomore sniper Fonstad said. “I was lacking confidence and wasn’t where I need to be to help this team be successful. I think going there, I got all my confidence back. I realize the level I need to be at.”
