Nepean travelled across town again tonight to play the Gloucester Griffins and came home with an important 2 points. The Knights continued to work on their fast break style and came out with a couple of quick goals. The Griffins fought back, but the 1st period ended 4-2. The second period was a low scoring affair, but the Knights managed to stay ahead of the Griffins. The third period began as a close one, with the teams at 5-4. Two shorthanded goals by the Knights moved the score to 7-4 and a late period goal sealed the victory for Nepean. It was a hard fought victory, but it has a lot of positives for the team, who are starting to work well together.
The next Knights home game is on Sunday at 2:00 PM at Merivale Arena against Mimico.

The Knights travelled to Newmarket today and took on the Saints. Nepean came out slow and couldn't recover for the entire first period. Having a hard time catching the ball and a severe lack of defence in their own end all contributed to the Knights being unable to finish or even test the Saints goalie. The effort provided the Knights goaltender with little support. A goaltender change late in the period didn't provide a spark to Nepean as the score was 5-0 after 1st period.

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.
