The win against Daysland was only the second in the eight season history of the Satellites entry into the BRHL.

What didn’t the Satellites do right? Despite being outshot nearly two-to-one, Tofield was clearing their zone with ease, winning puck battles tenaciously, and pressuring Daysland with fast breakouts.

Another big save for Jeremy Thom. Defencemen Shayne Carson (left), Craig Neufeld (39), and Captain Brian Tavaroli (19) help out.
