Muskies clinch home opener By Brian Lockhart The Shelburne Senior Muskies delivered a 5-2 win over the Durham Thundercats in their home opener at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex on Saturday night, October 1. A good sized crowd turned out for the first home game of the season and the Muskies delivered a good show. Shelburne's Nathan King opened the Muskies scoring at 5:10 into the first period. The second period saw a single Shelburne marker from Jake Nicholson taking the feed from Nick Glassford midway in the period. The Muskies finished off the night with three more in the third from Kris Dobinson, Glassford, and Chris Greer. The Muskies spent 28 minutes in the penalty box with the Thundercats spending 30 minutes cooling off in the box. Eddie Davie was in net for the Muskies. “We've got seven or eight new players - 25 players signed up,” said Muskies GM Barry Trood. “We're going to see how the team does. We've got some guys that we haven't seen in real game situations.” Dave Ritchie has returned to the bench as head coach. Tom Robbins and Chris Pomeroy are back as assistants. “Dave Ritchie was the captain of this team for about seven years as a player. He's a great coach and a good guy all around. He's very knowledgeable.” With the new line-up, the Muskies are hoping to take it up a notch this season. “We obviously want to keep improving our team,” said Trood. “Hopefully we can shoot up toward the top of the standings. We want to get a better record – over .500 and hopefully higher than that. We want to compete with all the teams this year and I think we're going to do that.” Next up, the Muskies travel to Shallow Lake this weekend to take on the Crushers. |
