NAPHL Showcase Massachusetts: Orange County 1 RoughRiders 0

The Rocky Mountain RoughRiders U18 hockey team gave up a goal with seven seconds left in the game against Orange County and lost 1-0 in NAPHL league play.. This was a game of missed opportunities throughout for the RoughRiders, who outplayed the Orange County team much of the game. The RoughRiders drop to 8-4-0 in league play and Orange County improves to 5-7-0.

The RoughRiders and Orange County looked as if they were headed for an overtime shootout until a  turnover with seven seconds left cost the RoughRiders the game. The RoughRiders had several opportunities towards the end of the third period by forcing the action with aggressive play. Unfortunately, that same aggressive play lead to the turnover setting up the game winning goal. Shots on goal were not entered on PointStreak.

The RoughRiders won't have a lot of time to think about this game. They play again this afternoon when they take on the 8-3-1 Lansing Capitals.
