On this episode of Crusaders Pregame, host Dawson Petryshen recaps the last couple wins the Cru have been stringing together, and looks ahead to the second matchup in seven days against the Lloydminster Bobcats.

A back and forth affair on Saturday, as the Grande Prairie Storm came to town. Goals were traded back and forth through the first, totaling two a side, including a powerplay goal from Logan Hauer. Cam Vassos almost had the lone marker of the second, but Carter Chorney had a response with 45 seconds to play in the frame. Not to go down quietly, Grande Prairie took the lead yet again but Brett Ursulak struck back halfway through the 3rd to tie things up yet again. Regulation solved nothing, and 38 seconds into overtime, Tyler Bates sent the Cru over the Storm, by a 5-4 decision.

After a tough loss in Bonnyville that saw Ashton McNelly get suspended and Austin Cook leave the game with an apparent injury, things were not looking up for Sherwood Park. However, that didn’t stop them as they hosted Drumheller and exploded out of the gate. Bode Hagan, Zac Maxwell, and Mitchell Joss all converted for three goals in the first 20 minutes, and Jaron Desnoyers got himself a couple in the second to chase Dragons goaltender Eric Ward. While there were no goals in the second, the Crusaders held on and got Gus Bylin his first AJLH shutout, who made 30 saves on the evening.

Perhaps a bit of relief for Sherwood Park to get away from the Randy Rosen Rink for a game, as they had lost three straight games to close out their home stand.

After that, Pontiacs goaltender Bodee Weiss shut the door, and Bonnyville walked away with a 5-2 victory, handing the Cru their fourth straight loss.
