Rutten scores twice, Trojans win sixth in a row
It maybe wasn’t the nail biting game that some people had in mind, but it was a good night for the Tisdale Trojans on Wednesday night in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.
The Trojans made the trip to Saskatoon for a meeting with the league leading Blazers, and came away with a 5-0 victory, their sixth win in a row.
The first period was fast paced, and even with both teams getting some chances, but neither team could score. The shot clock read 9-6 for the Blazers at the end of 20 minutes of play. Trojans Head Coach Darrell Mann said it was kind of a feeling out process in the first.
“We kind of went through that first period not knowing what to expect,” Mann said. “We had heard about their high flying offence, and our guys were maybe on the defensive side a little more than usual. But in saying that though, we killed off a couple of big penalties there in the first and got ourselves rolling and ready for the second period.”
