The Kitchener Jr Rangers MD Red team ran away with the score in a 11 to 1 rally over the London Bandits Black team in a rare Tuesday night game.
In game where it appeared the Bandits were keener on trying to hit the Rangers then skate against them the Rangers continued to attack as retribution.
Evan Peori led the goal scoring with a hattrick, while Jacob Reid-Brant, Caleb Cumming and Denver Heiman had a pair of goals. Toby Pryce continued his recent hot streak with a pair of assists from the backend while Quinten Earle had three helpers and Chad Morris had a pair of assists.
Owen Noemytka was a rock in the Rangers net and was carried by his signature calm and collective mannerism despite what was at times a hectic game. Neomytka stood tall in the Rangers net, especially being the leader on the penalty kill making some timely saves through numerous screens.
Peori opened the scoring after Earle was relentless on a loose puck in the neutral zone just 13 seconds into the second period. Reid-Brant followed up by scoring from Pryce. Heiman scored from Morris on a heads up broken play after a long shift. Connor Coughlin scored from Reid-Brant and Pryce. Reid-Brant scored from Morris and Noah Park. Peori scored from Logan Duke and Matt Gallant. Peori scored from Earle and Josh McDonald. Coughlin had a short-handed goal from Jake Fisher and McDonald. Cumming scored from Reid-Brant and Gallant and then on the power play Cumming scored from Reid-Brant and Kodi Blackshaw. To top it all off, Heiman had a TSN highlight of the night goal short-handed and on his knees from Earle.
Stephen Peppas is set to return next game and the team will enjoy being able to get back to their lines and look to continue the offensive surge. The coaches were proud of the team for keeping calm and limiting their retaliation.
The Rangers are set to get a couple practices in and do some team bonding before taking off to Burlington October 27th.
Go Rangers!
