The Leduc MNP Riggers are keeping up their winning streak after winning 6-1 over the West Edmonton Wild at the LRC on Jan. 22.
“We are just working hard and getting good goal tending,” said coach Dean Gauvreau.
“The first period, I was disappointed with the effort we came out with. I think we read too much into the stats about their team being a last place team in their division. We talked about where our level of commitment has to be between the first and the second period and during the second and third period I thought we brought the energy in and the commitment we needed to win.”

|
On Friday, October 9 the MNP Riggers hosted the Spruce Grove Regals at the Leduc Recreation Centre. The visiting Regals get the early jump recording four shots in the first two and a half minutes while the home team failed to produce a single shot.

Despite being outplayed in the first eight minutes of the game, the Riggers get on the scoreboard first as Tyler Roberge finds the back of the net with Kevin Glegloff getting the helper. The Riggers continue to fight back as Matt Klute, Spruce Grove's netminder, deflects a bullet from the Riggers Rob Cartwright from the blue line.
