The Nepean Knights were at home today against the Oakville Buzz and received an important lesson in effort. The Buzz managed to outwork the Knights for three straight periods, leading them in loose balls, hits, and turn over recoveries. It was a hard lesson to learn, and even harder to watch, but hopefully it has hit home.
The Knights Take On An Improved Akwesasne TeamThe Akwesasne Lightning came to town tonight with an improved team and a great effort but the Knights were up for the challenge. Nepean, playing a fast-break style that was very successful, particularly in the first and second periods, provided the crowd with an exciting game. |
Nepean Finds a Way to WinThe Knights took on their cross-town rivals once again today and finished up the home and home series with another win. Nepean started out the scoring on the night with a power-play goal by Jordan Joncas. The team looked tentative at times in the early going and struggled to compete for loose balls. |

Knights Start the Season with a WinThe Knights traveled across town to play the Gloucester Griffins tonight and came away with a win. The team started out strong, scoring first and having a very good first period. With 8 goals in the first period by Nepean, the Knights were ahead 8-2 after 20 minutes. A goaltending change for Gloucester brought out a renewed Griffins team that made for an interesting period. Lots of solid back and forth action provided the crowd with a solid 20 minutes of entertainment. |
