Frustrations boil over after P.A.’s Johnson’s hit vs. ‘Tips
The Prince Albert Raiders could be down another forward for the foreseeable future after Friday’s 3-1 defeat to the Everett Silvertips at the Art Hauser Centre.
Raiders’ fan favourite forward Kolby Johnson was levied a five-minute major and ejected from the game after he tried to rally his team with a heavy hit on with ‘Tips forward Orrin Centazzo on a backcheck in the second period.

Although Johnson was sent to the showers early, he emerged to the Ches Leach Lounge after the game for post-game interviews and was greeted to chants of ‘Kolby, Kolby’ and a warm ovation from the Raider crowd.
