Tarno’s Third Time For Star

Drayton Valley Thunder's final game of the weekend was an intense game but again, it did not have the results that we wanted. In this 5-2 match, Thunder struggled to get the puck past Oiler's goalie #31 Jared D'Amico but when they did, it was sweet. Thunder's first goal took place half way through the […]

Better Luck Today

Well I didn't get a chance to watch the game last night to really know what happened with this match but from the score it obviously wasn't good for Thunder. In the 5-2 loss against the Canmore Eagles, in Jack's Tweet, he said, “nothing going our way” and “Tanguay out with an injury” must kind […]

Trio Racking Up The Points

HOT HOT HOT…..On top of having not one but two outstanding goalies (Maraschiello and Daigle) in net this season, Thunder has had not one, not two, not three but four hot lines in the last several games. But the line of #28 Tarnasky, #27 Tanguay and #12 Malkowich is more than hot….they have been sizzling […]

Great Start To New Year

Well that was certainly worth the drive to Whitecourt to watch Thunder start the New Year off right. Even though the Wolverines tied it up twice, Thunder lead the way for the majority of the game and then stretched out the score even further in the third period finishing it off with a 6-3 win. […]
