The Drumheller Minor Hockey Association Hi-Way 9 Peewee Raptors were in action at home this weekend.
Sunday afternoon the team played the Foothills Flyers. The Flyers took control of the first period with two goals. Hunter Dayton scored in the second period to get the Peewee Raptors on the board. In the third period, the Flyers scored another goal before Dayton scored his second of the game. A fourth goal by the Flyers was then scored, but Jesse Paarup scored the Raptors third goal shortly after to make it a one goal game. Shortly after, Foothills scored two more goals to make the final score 6-3 Foothills.
On Saturday, the Hi-Way 9 Peewee’s played Bassano. Drumheller took a 3-0 loss.
Head coach Jeff Paarup said, “Our kids played really good on Saturday. We lost to one of the better teams in the league 3-0. Last time we played them, we got beat quite badly. That was probably one of the best games we played all year. Today (Sunday), we showed glimpses, but we need the full 60 minute effort, and we will be fine. We haven’t quite found it yet this season.”
The team will now host Vulcan on Sunday, December 20 at 1 p.m. at Drumheller Memorial Arena.
