The first half of the back to back is over, and the Waywayseecappo Wolverines head to The Pas with two points.
One night after beating the Swan Valley Stampeders 5-0, the Wolverines look to make it three wins in a row when they take on the newly named Northern Manitoba Blizzard.
The Blizzard are also coming off a game, as they hosted the Steinbach Pistons, but ended up losing 4-0. They fell behind 4-0 after the first period, when the Pistons scored three goals in just three and a half minutes.
The Blizzard have had the Wolverines number in the past 12 games, with Northern Manitoba having a 11-1 record in the past two seasons. That includes the Wolverines not being able to win on the road in two full seasons.
Northern Manitoba has a couple of players in the Top 10 scorers in the MJHL so far, as Cheechoo Lathlin and Marlen Edwards both have 8 points in this young season.
Meanwhile the Wolverines have worked more as a committee getting points, and four rookies so far has started the season with a point per game pace.
The Blizzard started the season with a 4-0 record, but have lost the last two against Virden and Steinbach. The Wolverines have gone the opposite direction, starting 0-2, but then winning the last two this week.
The Wolverines will take on the Blizzard a couple more times this month, with them heading back to The Pas on October 25th and 26th. They will then host the Blizzard a couple more times before Christmas before ending the six game season series on January 7th.
