The Dragons headed into the holiday break on a high note. On Thursday, December 22, the Dragons hosted the Calgary Mustangs and prevailed with a score of 7-3.
After a couple tough games earlier in the week, the Dragons came out firing on all cylinders. The Dragons played a fast, hard hitting game and put pressure on the Mustangs.
“We took away their time and space, they made mistakes, and it worked,” said head coach Barry Wolff.
The Dragons got on the scoreboard first from a goal by Brodie Jamieson late in the first period.
In the second period, the Dragons and Mustangs exchanged goals. At the second intermission the Dragons were ahead 4-3.
In the third period Jamieson put the Dragons score out of reach for the Mustangs, scoring three goals, two of which were on the powerplay.
Jamieson had a huge night, scoring five goals. The Vancouver native arrived in Drumheller from the BCHL on December 2, and immediately made his presence known, scoring in his first game. Before the game on December 22, Jamieson had another goal and three assists.
“I was really excited, it was the last game before the break, and it was nice to get a win in. The goals were an added bonus,” said Jamieson. “I’m trying to do everything I can to help the team out. Coach Wolff has been giving me an opportunity to be an impact player.”
“He’s been awesome, he’s a really good hockey player, who can find the back of the net. Last night he was in the right spot at the right time, and with that quick release, five goals, that’s unreal,” said Wolff.
The Dragons, and the rest of the AJHL are taking a break for the holidays. The Dragons will return to action at home on Wednesday, January 4, against the Olds Grizzlies.
