The Rockies follow up a three-point week six with another three points in week seven. Once again, the Rockies came up short on Friday against Creston falling 4-3 in overtime before throwing 42 shots at the Kimberley net in a 6-2 win on Saturday night.
.
The team also made a handful of moves this past week roster-wise. On November 8th, the Rockies acquired Drew Tkachuk from the Chase Heat in return for future considerations. When asked about this move, GM Wade Dubielewicz said that Tkachuk is a “great skater with play-making ability” and that he “brings size” and has an “edge to his game that will make him an asset to any team.”
On November 18th, the Rockies also traded forward Spencer Lloyd to the Princeton Posse. This trade completes the future considerations owed to Princeton from the trade of Carson Spitzke to the Rockies in November of last year. We would like to take a moment to thank Spencer for his time with the Rockies and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.
Lastly, the Rockies brought in goaltender Scott Thomspon. GM Wade Dubielewicz stated that the Rockies “couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring him onto the team” and that he had a “great first start with the win over Kimberley.” Scott is now in rotation with current goaltenders Tyson Gregory and Grady Nicholas, and will make the goaltending position within the lineup very competitive.
.
The Rockies have three games this week that start with a 7:30 PM game against Creston on Wednesday, followed by a 7:30 PM home game against the Grand Forks Bruins on Friday before heading down to Kimberley for a 7:00 PM road game on Saturday.
