Wings Fly High at Home, Defeat TASA Orange 4–3

   

It was a night to remember inside the home barn as the Wings battled hard and finally earned their first home win of the season — a gritty 4–3 victory over TASA Orange.

The energy was electric from puck drop, with both teams trading chances early. TASA opened the scoring midway through the first, but the Wings refused to head into intermission empty-handed. With just 20 seconds left on the clock, Beckett Tink buried the equalizer off a slick feed from Blake Matthews, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

In the second period, TASA regained the lead, but the Wings responded with one for the highlight reel. On the power play, Hunter Rozee showed off some filthy hands, dangling through the defense and tucking one past the TASA goaltender to tie it up once again.

The third period was all heart and hustle. Down by one and killing an early penalty, Harrison Lind intercepted a pass in the neutral zone, broke free, and scored short-handed to even things up at three apiece. The momentum swung fully in the Wings’ favour after that.

Minutes later, Lucas Van Dusen set up Hunter Rozee for his second of the night — a perfectly timed play that turned out to be the game-winner. Rozee’s two-goal effort and relentless play earned him Player of the Game honours.

A full team effort, a loud crowd, and a well-deserved win — that’s Wings hockey.

The team will look to keep the momentum rolling when they hit the road this Sunday, November 16th, to face Sackville Black at Sackville Arena. Puck drops at 10:00 a.m.
