The Surrey Rebels improved to 6-1 on the season with an
8-5 victory over the Langley Warriors in BCILL play
Monday night at the George Preston Rec Centre.
Surrey opened the scoring only 37
seconds in when Cory Bailey notched his team leading
eighth of the season unassisted. Langley responded
27 seconds later to know things at one just over a
minute into the match. The Rebels restored their
lead on a shotclock buzzer-beater by Zack Morin at 6:21,
but the home team fought back with a wraparound
goal that just squeaked past Surrey goalie Jeff Geyer at
7:45, and then took the lead on the powerplay just under
four minutes later. But the lead was short lived,
as Dean Lawton took a feed from Scott O'Coin and wired a
shot past the Warriors netminder 30 seconds later.
Graeme Harkison picked up his sixth of the season with
4:43 left to finish off the scoring for the first
period. While the Rebels led 4-3, it was the
Warriors who led in shots 17-11.
The teams traded chances in the first
four minutes of the middle frame, but it was Langley who
drew first blood 4:19 in to even the score.
However, Surrey regained the lead only 67 seconds later
when Morin scored his second of the night, assisted by
Harkison. The visitors made it 6-4 with 3:45 left
in the second, when Harkison quick-sticked a perfect
feed from Lawton on the powerplay. Kyle Wegner
picked up the second assist on the play. Shots in
the period favoured the Rebels 18-11.
The third period featured many
turnovers and missed opportunities for both teams.
However, Surrey opened up a four goal lead when Lawton
picked up his fifth of the season at 7:36 from O'Coin
and Ryan Sepka, and then O'Coin took a pass from Geyer
and fired one home at 8:18. The Warriors put a
scare in the Rebels when they potted their second
powerplay goal of the night with 9:20 left, but Surrey
withstood the pressure in the last seven minutes,
playing short-handed for six of those minutes.
Langley led in shots 14-9 in the final stanza, and held
a 42-38 edge on the night.
Geyer stopped 37 of 42 shots, while
his teammates went 1-3 on the powerplay 4-6on the penalty kill.
Our next game is at home Friday, May 16 vs. the
New Westminster Salmonbellies - 8:00pm
face-off. Note the location:
North Surrey Rec Centre.
This officially closes out our fundraising campaign
for 2008, which also saw the team bring in close to
$2,500 in sponsorship. It costs over $9,000
per season to run the Intermediate program,
excluding the cost of new jerseys which we cover
from an annual gaming grant from the Province
through the BCILL. This works out to almost
$400 per player.
