Tanner Fritz beats Colin Dzijacky for lone shoot out goal

Tanner Fritz scored the tying goal with just over a minute remaining in the third, and then had the lone goal in the shoot out, as team Blue came from behind to beat team White 3-2 in the Storm's annual intrasquad game.




After a scoreless first half of the hockey game, team Blue opened the scoring when veteran Dan Correale stole the puck in the neutral zone and broke in on Kenny Cameron, beating him five hole.  But team White then scored twice within a 2:20 span to take the lead into the dressing room.  First, John Girman converted a Jordan Forfar pass.  That was followed by a 35 foot wrister from Derian Cardinal that eluded team Blue netminder Christopher Wray, giving team White their only lead of the day.

That lead help up until the 18:18 mark of the third period, when Tanner Fritz defelected a Ben Woodley shot behind Colin Dzijacky to tie the game. 

Instead of playing overtime, the game was decided by a shoot out, which is being re-introduced to the AJHL this season.  Team Blue goalie Curtis Skip stopeed all three shooters he faced, while Fritz went five hole on Dzijacky to give Blue the victory.

After the game, coach Mike Vandekamp and his staff reduced the camp roster from 40 to 31 players (14 forwards, 11 defencemen, 6 goalies).  Not a bad number to have considering the Storm play four games in five days this week.  The pre season schedule begins with a home and home against the North American Hockey League's newest franchise, the Dawson Creek Rage.  The two teams face off Tuesday night at 7 at the Canada Games Arena, before hitting the ice again the following night at the Encana Events Center in Dawson Creek.  Puck drop for that one is 8pm Alberta time.
