The Sauk Prairie bantam Flyers, made up of several members of last season’s State championship peewee team played host to the rival RWD Yeti bantams Friday (Nov. 3) with the Evelyn Gurney Remembrance Game at Sauk Prairie Area Recreation Center (SPARC).
A pregame raffle and cookout helped raise funds for the Gurney family who were on hand to drop the ceremonial opening faceoff while surrounded at the center circle by members of both teams.
A touching tribute for a popular preceded a game that saw the home side move away with two unanswered goals in both the first an second periods before cruising to a 7-1 win.
The Flyers scored twice in the game’s first five minutes but Jesse Arnold, in goal for the Yeti stood tall after that against a 14-shot first period barrage.
Michael Jolicoeur and Ryker Hovland fired the first period markers with an assist for Logan Harrington.
In the second, Harrington set up another, this time Logan Harrington pulling the trigger early in the period while Reid Knoll converted a feed from Kash Kaldwell late in the frame.
In the third period, Baryn Breunig, Harrington and Jolicoeur added goals for the Flyers and Kaldwell added another assist.
Jameson got to within 24 seconds of a shutout with 16 saves in goal for the Flyers before Tyler Krieski gave the Yeti a small consolation spoiling the bid with his goal on a setup from Landen Uminski.
Arnold wrapped up the night facing 40 shots in goal for the Yeti.
