Season Opener - October 13

A number of new faces on the ice for both teams saw a scrappy first period with the Express coming out ahead. Rookie Chudley went bar down to open the scoring with his first of the season and first as a Railer Express. Kotchon finished off the scoring in the first with a PP marker while Arnold was solid between the pipes and was the difference on the PK. 
 

Boonstra found the top shelf on another PP in the 2nd and the PK stayed perfect to put the Express up 3-0 after 2. 
 

The Hawks scored a quick PP goal to open the 3rd then again on a screened shot to claw back into the game, not willing to leave without a good fight. Solid PK in last 5 minutes of the game, then Chudley netted his 2nd of the game into an empty net and Funk tallied another giving the Express our 1st W in the season opener. 

Next game: October 15, 7:30 pm, EXPRESS vs Vics, St. Vital Arena
