With two games remaining in November the Sockeyes played host to the Coastal Tsunami in a contest in which they dominated from the opening period managing to pull off a 6-1 win while outshooting the visitors by a 38-15 margin..
Alex Kielmann opened the scoring on the power play at 4:38 of the first followed by one from Bryce Standt at 19:26 taking a 2-0 lead to the dressing room after the first period.
Max Shin notched his 15th of the season at 6:20 of the middle period in a contest that saw the teams trade penalties in the first while the Tsunami took two in the middle period to the lone minor for Richmond.
The third saw the visitors get on the board only to allow the Sockeyes Max Shin get a pair in the third to for his second “hat-trick” of the season while Nicholas Norengot his 20th goals of the season at the 12:00 minute mark
While the game saw fast paced action it was obvious that the power-house explosive play of the Sockeyes was no match for the visiting squad from the Sunshine Coast in a period that kept the officials throughout the final twenty minutes.
Regardless of the chippy play in the third the Sockeyes skated away with the three stars with Max Shin named first star, Bryce Strandt second star and Nathan Gray named third star.
A short two days later saw the Sockeyes visit Mission City stealing a 9-1 win in a contest that again saw the Sockeyes dominate the contest outshooting Mission by a 54-23 romp.
Next up was a trip to take on the struggling Kodiaks who have yet to win a game to date that saw the Sockeyes manage a 6-1 win outshooting the home squad by a 63-16 tally.
This year again saw the PJHL host what has become the Annual BCHC Prospects game in a contest that has players from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) and the host league.
For the second consecutive season the PJHL pulled out the win in a game that saw five Sockeyes selected to the team with Sockeyes Head Coach Cullen Revel behind the bench as well as Director of Hockey Opps & GM Will Kump named to the squad.
It’s never easy to select players for a game of this magnitude that saw Beaudy Beaudin, Armaan Kaila, Nick Kovich, Max Shin and Nate Gray named to the roster all of which are prominent selections.
Between the five they have managed a commanding 52 goals to go along with 57 assists which by any stretch has the Sockeyes playing exceptional hockey.
December sees the return of the Food Hamper Collection for all three home games prior to Christmas as well as the Annual Teddy Bear Toss which is always a fan favorite.
This is when fans get to throw their “Bears” on the ice following the first goal the Sockeyes score in the game which is not only huge for the Sockeyes but also everyone attending looking to cheer loud and long after the first goal is scored.
If you’re craving more hockey the Sockeyes again host the Annual PJHL Winter Classic at Minoru from December 29th to the 31st.
The Richmond Sockeyes wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we enter into the second half of the season.
