Chiefs Fall to Rivermen in Home Ice Return

​

Adam Boatter opened the scoring for the Chiefs in the first after a nice setup by Justin Dumais, as Boatter was on the doorstep. Just under two minutes later, the Rivermen got one of their own on the power play to tie it up, before taking the lead sixteen seconds later.

​

Chilliwack had the opportunity to tie it up in the second when they found themselves on a four-minute power play, however, they couldn’t put one home. Langley got the better of the middle frame when they scored their third of the game to increase their lead to two.

​

The Chiefs power play got to work in the third frame to get back within one after Luke Pilkington scored his first of the season just 10 seconds into the man advantage. Langley kept their foot on the gas, taking their two-goal lead back before Kristers Obuks got one of his own and sparked some life back into the building. Despite the Chiefs best efforts to tie the game and force overtime, an empty-net goal by the Rivermen in the final 20 seconds sealed Langley’s win.

​

The homestand continues tomorrow at 6 pm as the Chiefs welcome the Surrey Eagles for their Remembrance Day game. Retirement Concepts will be in the building with some of their seniors, plus a fun parachute cookie drop during the first intermission.
