Rockets and Ghostriders split first two games

The Fernie Ghostriders take Game 2 of the series, leaving it split at 1-1.

The Golden Rockets and Fernie Ghostriders played Game 2 of their best of seven series in round two of the playoffs last night (March 6).

An early goal helped lead the Ghostriders to a 3-1 win. Four minutes in Ben Primeau scored for Fernie, but the Rockets fought back and tied it up a couple minutes later with a goal from Josh Jewell.

Just before the end of the first period the Ghostriders regained their lead, and never gave it  up. The rest of the game was tight, with no scoring in the second period. The third would have remained scoreless as well, had it not been for an empty net goal with a minute left on the clock.

The Rockets won Game 1 in Fernie, leaving the series tied at 1-1. Games 3 and 4 will be in Golden on Friday and Saturday (March 8 and 9).

The Winston Lodge is sponsoring the games, which are at the Golden Arena at 7:30 p.m. Get there early to get a good seat.
