After a tough loss in Cranbrook the week before, the Wheatland Chiefs exacted a measure of revenge in the return match.

The local double-A midget team lost a tough 4-1 game Oct. 16 in Cranbrook, before hammering the Ice 9-2 at the Strathmore Family Centre Oct. 23.

Cody Burndred scored three times and added an assist, as the Chiefs improved to 4-2-1 on the season. Arron Durant added two goals and two assists, while Alex Bechtold added three assists in the win. James Price and Rylan Muenchrath each had a goal and an assist, while Abe Jensen also tallied for the Chiefs.

Wheatland will now play a pair of home games this coming weekend. The Chiefs will host the Airdrie Lightning Oct. 29, 7:30 p.m. at the Strathmore Family Centre, before hosting the Red Deer ProStitch Oct. 31. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

 

Tough weekend for Braves

It was a weekend to remember on home ice for the Wheatland Braves.

The double-A peewee team lost 6-1 to Airdrie Lightning on Oct. 22, before losing 17-0 to the Bow Valley Timberwolves on Oct. 24.

Despite the tough 0-7 start to the season, the Braves are looking forward to this coming weekend when they travel to take on the Red Deer TPS. The last time these two squads squared off, the Braves had a solid performance and they will look to build on that. Puck drop is 12:45 p.m. on Oct. 30.

The Wheatland Warriors AA bantam team will be looking to climb the standings this weekend, when they host the Airdrie Lightning Oct. 31, 4:15 p.m. at the Strathmore Family Centre. 

The Warriors, coming off of a bye weekend, will look to improve on their 2-2-2 record.
