A five point night from Sean Kubas, powered the Gladstone Lakers to a 10-5 win over the MacGregor Wild on Saturday, Dec. 1, in Tiger Hills Hockey League (THHL) action. Kubas had three goals and a pair of assists, while teammate Jordon Geddes had a four point night (1 goal - 3 assists). MacGregor’s Dustin Bruce lead the way for the Wild, with a pair of goals.

The victory shifted Gladstone into first place in the Tiger Hill’s Eastern Division, with a 6-2-0 record and 12 points on the season. In second place are the Neepawa Farmers (5-2-0), who did not have a game on the schedule this past weekend.

Minnedosa win pair: The Minnedosa Bombers are recovering from their slow start earlier this season, winning a pair of games over the weekend. Minnedosa first defeated the Pilot Mound Pilots 4-3 on Friday, Dec. 1. The Bombers would follow that up the next night, with a 9-3 victory over the Deloraine Royals. Shane Jury had five points over the course of those two games (4G - 1A), while Matt Saler also came up big, with a goal and five assists. These wins improved Minnedosa’s record to 4-5-0, good enough for third place in the East.

Upcoming games: The Neepawa Farmers return to action this weekend, as they’ll face the Gladstone Lakers on Friday, Dec. 8, in Gladstone. Then, they’ll host the Cartwright Clippers on Sunday, Dec. 10. Start time at the Yellowhead Centre is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
