In last night’s match, Thunder versus Bonnyville Pontiacs, the result was no different than the last four meets against this team—another win for the men in green. In total, Thunder has won 5 out the 6 regular season games against the Pontiacs.
Last night #20 Nathan Smith, #17 Trevor Poirier and #23 Doug Jones all had no problem getting the puck past Pontiac’s goal tender in the first period. For the remainder of the game, Thunder did not back off. They played three solid periods keeping the Pontiacs off the board for the entire game. Then, with less than five minutes in the game, #7 Shane Brolly topped it off with one more in the net giving Thunder a 4-0 win. So, in recognition of the shutout, #1 Marc Olivier Daigle was given the Home Star Award. Great game Marc, great game Thunder!! Next game Thunder will host the Spruce Grove Saints on Tuesday, February 5th with the puck being dropped at the usual 7:30 time. Come on out and cheer Thunder on as there are only five more home games before playoffs begin.
