The Flint Powers Chargers hosted Riverview Gabriel Richard at the Crystal Field House Wednesday night. The Chargers were victorious in the abbreviated contest, winning by a score of 8 to 0.

For the first ten minutes or so, Gabriel Richard’s goaltender, Drew Adams was lights out as he stopped numerous Powers scoring opportunities. However, at 9:22, senior forward Brendan Smith broke the ice and got one past Mr. Adams with assistance from senior defenseman Jake Polakowski and sophomore forward Luke Evo. The teams would go to intermission with Powers up 1-0.

Less than two minutes later, at 12:44, Wildfong struck again with the able assistance of Jon Thomas and senior forward Conor Witherspoon. 3-0 Powers. Just over two minutes later, junior forward Sam Lechel joined the goal scorer’s club. Mr. Lechel was assisted by junior forward Cam Lieffers and goaltender Brady Stebbins. Roughly three minutes later, Garret Johnson found the back of the net with the help of Jon Thomas (playmaker) and Conor Witherspoon. At 6:33, Conor Witherspoon illuminated the red light with a goal. He was assisted by Brendan Smith and Luke Evo. At 1:54, Conor Witherspoon scored his second goal of the game. Senior defenseman Hans Hering and Brendan Smith assisted on Witherspoon’s second goal. 7-0 in favor of Powers at the end of two.
