Voyageurs now losers in 4 straight games

Once again it was a story of close but not close enough for the Portage Voyageurs as they failed to get any points in the final weekend of the October schedual.

The Voyageurs were in Edmonton Friday night for another game on the big ice against Concordia, The game was tied heading into the third period but the penalties started adding up against Portage.

Concordia's Kyle MacDonald had two goals in the game as his team captured a 5-3 win over Portage, the Thunder scored an empty netter late in the game.

Ian Hall scored two on Friday, Brendan Lamb had the other and Shane Mainprize made 43 saves in a losing effort.

Head Coach Terry Ewasiuk was less than pleased with the officiating after the game, the Voyageurs were down 2 men several times against Concordia and had previous problems last season with the same ACAC referee who will remain un-named.

On Saturday night back on home ice the Voyageurs had a hard time from the start of the game, spending most of the evening in the penalty box. Concordia scored three goals - including two on the power-play - in the first to help propel them to an eventual 4-2 win.

Thunder Defenceman Andrew Willigar was Concordia's player of the game Saturday, as he notched a big power-play tally in the 1st.

The Voyageurs spent most of the rest of the game killing penalties, taking some time in between for Chris Glen to score a power-play goal in the second, Gerald Desjerlais had the other Portage goal.

Ian Hall and Codie Kightley both left Saturdays' game with injuries, updates when available.
