Riptide Put Another One in the "W" Column
The Riptide faced off against hometown rivals B1 on Friday night, and posted a strong 6-2 victory.

Scoring started fairly early for the Riptide in the first period, as Dustin Hine found the back of the net, assisted by passing dynamo Brenhyn Gavey and defenseman Tyler Dinya. The Riptide controlled most of the next period, but were held scoreless until late in the period when Zack Hall sent a choppy puck ricocheting past the B1 netminder (assisted by Drew Pardy and Luke Pain) to give the Riptide a solid 2-0 lead heading into the third period.

B1 hit the board first in the third period with an early goal, but this was quickly answered by Ethan Ferreira (assisted by Owen Clarke and Isaak Fisher - whose solid digging and fighting along the boards was the reason we kept control of the puck and scored!). Less than 30 seconds later, Hall found the back of the net yet again (assisted by Pardy and Jakob Kubisch) to put the Riptide up 4-1. Then, the scoring frenzy continued as less than two minutes later Kubisch sent his own shot into the net, assisted by Hall and Pain. And, just over 30 seconds later, Alex Chmiel - on a scoring streak - sent one past the B1 netminder (assisted by Hine and Gavey) to give the Riptide a commanding 6-1 lead. Sadly, B1 scored with 12 seconds left on the clock, but to no avail as the Riptide - leaving dozens in their roll of destruction - pounded out a solid victory.

The team improvements continue, and the lines are really starting to click.....the Riptide head into their weekend tournament looking to bond - and the parents are looking forward to some eats, drinks and all-around merriment.

Go Tide!
