Parkland Rangers: Welcome

Rangers win 1 out of 3!

The weekend started with big game against divisional rival the Yellowhead Chiefs on Friday Jan. 27.  A win and the Rangers would leapfrog over the Chiefs into 5th place.  After a entertaining but scoreless first period the Rangers scored two early markers in the second from Craig Truman and Rhett Law but the Chielfs responded 3 minutes later cutting the lead to 2-1 going in to the break.  In the third the Rangers quit and the lack of pressure gave the Chiefs the room they needed as they scored 2 goals winning the game 3-2.

The next day the Rangers hosted the league leading Winnipeg Wild in Dauphin.  The Rangers came out flying and showed the league's best that they can compete with anyone.  The scored was tied 1-1 after the first period as the Rangers held the edge in shots and scoring opportunities.  In the second the Wild were able to capitalized on a few breakdowns scoring 3 and taking a 4-2 lead  into the final frame.  In the third the Wild kept coming, throwing everything at the net and won the game 6-2.  Both Rangers goals were scored on the power play from Law and Daniel Dunn.

On Sunday the Rangers were on the road in MacGregor taking on the Central Plains Capitals.  For the first time this weekend the Rangers did not score first as giving up two goals and trailing 2-0 midway through the first.  A powerplay marker from Daniel Dunn and a very late goal from Jarrett Day closed the first in a 2-2 tie.  Another poerplay goal from Day was the only scoring in the middle frame and the Rangers had a slim 3-2 lead heading into the third.  A goal from the Capitals 3 minutes into the third tied the game.  A very gritty and determined Ranger team kept battling, scoring twice more from Hawryluk and Nepinak and strong defensive play kept the Capitals at bay.  Rangers win 5-3 putting them within 2 points of the Yellowhead Chiefs with 5 play.  

The Rangers hit the road this next weekend visiting the Winniepg Wild on Friday Feb. 3 and then onto Tuelon to play the Interlake Lightning on Sat. Feb. 4.  Please come out and cheer on your Parkland Rangers!!
