“It was a good hit. I mean, hockey is a contact sport,” Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid said. “It’s a good open-ice hit. The elbows were down—it was a hit. If that’s not an allowed hit then wow, we’re missing something. That’s as clean of a hit as you can get. Was it a hard hit? Yeah, but that was a clean hit. If they’re going to take those hits out of the game, it’s going to change the game drastically.”

Then Eric Pearce dropped his gloves for the first time in his WHL career, in his 190^th game played. He got tangled up with Pats defender Ryker Evans in the second period.

Shortly after that, Ozzy Wiesblatt rode Kyle Walker dangerously into the boards to cause a crowd. Wiesblatt received a minor penalty for crosschecking.

Tre Cool and Laventure’s adventure

In just his second game in the WHL, Tre Fouquette already has a few first. He got his first assist, before scoring his first goal at the major junior level.

On his goal, Fouquette received a drop pass from Ozzy Wiesblatt and picked his spot on the far post. His shot got through a Reece Vitelli screen and into the back of the net.

“I was in shock actually at the start, I didn’t realize it went in,” Fouquette said. “When I found out it went in, it was relief almost.”

Raiders forward Tyson Laventure has four goals and seven points on the season—all of those have come in the four games he’s played against the Regina Pats. Laventure scored two goals on Sunday to double hit total.

When asked about what it is about the Pats that allowed him to get almost two points per game against them, Laventure just shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m not really sure, I’ve just been having good games against them,” Laventure said. “But I’m hoping to carry it forward to the next couple games against the other teams, not just the Pats.”
