Marauders Notes: The Marauders have six players in the Top 10 MHL scoring leaders
(Belanger, John Macdonald, Dylan King, Wayne Bedecki, Stuart Lenehan, and Stephen Popovich)……..Metro has scored nineteen goals in their first four games. Not bad for a team that really struggled to score last season…..the game is the second of a back to back. Metro defeated Dieppe 5-0 last night in Dieppe….this game will be the Marauders 5th in 8 nights….Stefan Dumaresque and Alex Newman have split time so far at goaltender. Newman is leading the MHL with a .50 GAA and save percentage of .984.
Picks to Click: Bill- Stuart Lenehan; Mavs- John Macdonald
Coach Troy Ryan: “We seem to have all the lines rolling and were playing with a great deal of intensity. Winning streaks don’t happen all the time so hopefully we can keep it going tonight vs. a very tough Dieppe Commandos team.”
