All of Ham’s points came in the second period, in the form of three goals and an assist on a Justin Minoletti marker. Scott Rintoul scored the other two goals for the Wild in the win, their first of the season (1-2-0). As for the Farmers, Matt Lowry posted a pair of goals, while Nolan Speiss added another.

On any given game night, it’s hard to guess exactly which version of the Neepawa Natives will be hitting the ice. Will it be the world-beaters, who jumped out to a 6-2-1 record to start the MJHL season and appeared the equal of the very best teams of the league. Or will it be the disorganized unit that currently sits in a playoff position, but does not appear to be a playoff caliber team. On Friday, Nov. 3, the latter of those two options reared its ugly head, on the way to a 6-3 loss to the Winnipeg Blues.

After the Waywayseecappo Wolverines jumped out to an early 3-0 lead over the Neepawa Natives in their game on Wednesday, Nov. 1, I was ready to walk out of the Yellowhead Arena. I intended to leave because life is too simply too short to stand around and watch uninspired hockey. But then something interesting happened; the Neepawa Natives got inspired.

If there’s one thing to remember from Neepawa’s recent 10-3 loss to the Steinbach Pistons, it’s that if a team loses by one or 100 goals in the game, it’s still only two points in the standings. We should definitely remember that about this game and quickly forget everything else that transpired on the ice at the Yellowhead Arena on Sunday, Oct. 29.
