Hockey Update 10/28
2026-10-29
The Sabres Hockey team (2-1) hosted the River East Kodiaks (1-1-1) in a Wednesday afternoon tilt at the Southeast Event Centre. The Kodiaks got out to a dream start as their first shot of the game found the back of the net, just 34 seconds after puck drop. The Sabres refocused and the forecheck went to work as they clawed back some momentum throughout the opening period. A scramble in front of the River East cage saw three Sabres digging like John Deeres, and it was Nixon Duerksen with a true nitty gritty goal for his first of the season, tying the game at 1-1. The Sabres went bang-bang to begin the second period as Preston Thiessen's shot from the half-wall found twine for his first career WHSHL goal and Oliver Campbell doubled the lead just seven seconds later with a snipe on the rush for his first of the campaign. After a goalie swap, the Kodiaks punched back with a powerplay goal just one minute later. The Sabres weathered the storm and restored the two-goal lead as Kyler Verestiuk got in alone on the penalty kill and had a gorgeous finish, outwaiting the netminder on the glove side. The teams traded chances in the third period, but the Sabres held on as Tyler Dueck added some insurance into the empty cage for his fourth of the season. Final score: SRSS 5 River East 2. Evan Maynard was fantastic, making 27 stops. Next: The Sabres host the Churchill Bulldogs next Wednesday, November 4th at 4:00 PM. Keep your stick on the ice!
