Just 25 seconds into the game, the captain Sam Chichak opened up the scoring when he received a feed from Dean Allison, and roofed his first shot of the new year. The Outlaws caught the Sockeyes off-guard as just 10 seconds later their leading scorer Danny Hall put home his 7th goal of the season. The tie would be short lived at just 6:32 into the game the big line of Tait, Chichak and Allison would strike again - this time it would be Tait scoring a beautiful goal that beat rookie goaltender Alexander Orth. Jake Roder would close out the scoring in the period by continuing his consistent play since returning to the Sockeyes. Roder now has 6 points in his first 4 games back.
The second and third periods featured much of the same. The Sockeyes got goals from each of their four forward lines, as well as a couple from the backend. Daniel Tait would add his second of the game just 19 seconds into the second period after Richard Moul lost control of the puck, and the speedy winger was there on the forecheck to steal the puck and finish with authority on the breakaway. Higham, Hamaguchi, Lange added the rest of the goals by the forwards. Meanwhile Centis and Trevor Stack got goals from the defense.
From the goaltending of William Latimer, to the responsible defensive plays by the blueliners, and the scoring prowess of the forwards, the Richmond Sockeyes were firing in all cylinders. The positive start to 2013 has the fans believing this team could once again raise a few more banners at the end of the season.
Three Stars:
1. Daniel Tait
2. Sam Chichak
3. Daniell Lange
