Riders play Saturday February 9th here in Fernie

Saturday’s Game 

The Riders only play one game this week and it’s against the Columbia Valley Rockies.

Going into last weekend the third place Rockies were just 3 points ahead of the fourth place Golden Rockets in the standings and had a chance to solidify their lead but lost both of their games against Kimberley and Nelson. 

The Golden Rockets also lost their games last week against Nelson and Fernie, so that means that the second place Ghostriders still don’t know who they will play in the first round of the playoffs that are expected to start on Tuesday February 26th.

After Saturday's game  the Rockies will have 4 games left and Golden will have 2 games left.
