37 Colorado Mammoths vs Vancouver Whalers

This is the first meeting between these two western Conference rivals of the regular season. Right now the Whalers are 3-4-1 this season awhile the Mammoths are 2-4-3. This game is a battle between two of the worst teams this season.





1st Period

30 seconds into the hockey game, we got a goal. Alfred Holiday Scores with a slap shot from the point and the goal was assisted by Charlie Conway and Zach Zyvleski. This is looking like another poor game for the Mammoths.

Sludge (COL) for Holding (Minor) at 2:38

The Whalers have a two minute power-play, this is not looking like a good start for the Mammoths. Whalers don’t end up scoring on this power-play.

Midway thru the period, Whalers add another goal to give Vancouver a 2-0. It was scored by Levi Kubrak assisted by Strawberry Blake and Theodore Graham

The score is 2-0 for Vancouver and the Shots are 7- 6 for the Whalers.

Interview with Ben Dover.

What are your thoughts on this game today?

Dover: we shouldn’t allowed that first goal of the hockey game 30 seconds into the hockey game. It killed any sort of a good start today and well we need to be better as a team if we want to win hockey games this season. Teams in the SMJHL are very good and they play the right way, right now we aren’t playing the right way.

What do you want to work on as a Team?

Dover: we need to start putting the puck into the back of the net, which is somewhat part of my job. I am a offensive defensemen and someone that should be able to a game breaker and well I am not this season and well I need to start doing that.

What do you need to do to do that.

Dover: put more pucks on net, being outshot every game isn’t an option and well we are not playing well enough to sustain pressure in the offensive zone, we need to be faster, better puck movement and win more puck battles.

2nd Period

With a 2-0 lead going into the 2nd period, The Whalers were expecting some sort of pressure from the Mammoths well, they didn’t get nothing. As they( Mammoths) only had 5 shots during the 2nd period of the game. Vancouver got 9 shots on goal this period.

The period ends 2-0 lead for Vancouver and Vancouver has a 5 shot lead in the shot total.


3rd period

Vancouver get a early power-play but they fail to score.


Theodore Graham (VAN) for Holding (Minor) at 4:58

Mammoths get their 1st powerplay of the hockey game. And well it fails miserly and the score is still 2-0 for the Whalers.

Conklin Owen Scores the 3rd goal of the game for the whalers which was assisted by the man himself, Bernie Sanders and Jon Ross.

Ben Dover gets a trip to the fantastic sin bin and Vancouver fail to score.


The Final Score was 3-0 for the Whalers and the Shots are 24(8)- 14 (3) as the Mammoths lose another game this season.


Three Stars
1 - Stiv Dingels (VAN)
Somewhat surpising that he gets the 1st star, I know he got the shutout but only 14 saves, like he had nothing difficult to deal with all game but I suppose no player really didn’t dominate for the Whalers as it was a team effort

2 - Alfred Holiday (VAN)
Score the GWG, Was on the ice for 2 of the goals for.

3 - Levi Kubrak (VAN) Another supursing pick, he went 6/ 13 on the face-0ff circle
