The HJHL season was in full swing this past weekend with the Bisons taking the first game of the season 5-3 over the High River Flyers on Friday (Sept. 20) and then falling just short in a 3-2 hockey game against the Medicine Hat Cubs the following night.
Three former Flyers who now don the Bisons sweaters scored against their former team to help lift them to victory in their home opener. McCallum Bakken, Ethan Burgeson, and Bradon Jarman were the three former Flyers to pop in goals. Hunter Cobb and Sam Callahan were the other two Bisons to find the back of the twine with Cobb getting the first goal of the season.
On Saturday's game against the Cubs, the Bisons went down 3-0 but didn't roll over and quit. Easton Dean got his first goal of the season late into the second period to break the Cubs shutout in the final minute of the period. Assistant captain Adam Kirkpatrick added his first of the season in the third period but that's all the goals the Herd would produce in their second game of the season.
The Bisons will continue to play at home this weekend when they face the Coaldale Copperheads on Friday night (Sept. 27) at Murray Arena with the puck drop set for 8:00 p.m.
